Office EDC Items

[stabman]

Knew it would be a slow day at work.
Time to take an Office EDC picture, and make a short video on the topic:

What are your thoughts on the topic of Office EDC items?
Any examples of things you either do carry, or would think appropriate?

Large SHF, Magpul micro wallet thingy, phone, and a piss poor attitude is all I carry at work

Dang, you must work in Texas or Florida!

I work for a "fortune 50" engineering company. "Pocket Knives" at the plant where I work are defined as "2-in max blade length. 4 1/2-in max opened length." I mostly carry a Spyderco Manbug. I have both the original and the leaf shape. The leaf shape gets carried much more frequently.

Lol, it's a little construction company in the SF Bay area, I gotta say after growing up in the Midwest it's strange how many people come up to me when they need something cut!

WE Vapor
CRK Mnandi
Benchmade Valet

All are about as non-scary as possible, and are GREAT for putting vent holes in coffee cup lids.

A civivi elementum wharncliffe.
A powertank pen.
A saftey slitter.
A titanium spork.
A head torch.

Although that manix magnacut is looking pretty tempting.

I don't work in an office (though my department has one).
On my ID badge, I have a Fenix E02R on a quick release (though I only remove it for charging). I typically have a brass Peak Eiger in my shirt pocket, along with my pen. I work nights, so both lights are used often.
Sometimes, I carry a Leatherman Raptor - if it was better for general purpose cutting, I'd carry it a lot more...at least half of the time I need scissors it's for something more detailed than the Raptor can manage.
I usually don't carry my phone or wallet.

Company and facility have a no weapons policy…

I’m the token redneck in the mgmt office, I’m also the Operations Director so I get left alone.

Here's a pocket dump from last week when the topic came up. Obviously the knives rotate. And the multi tool is either a super tool 300 or a sog power access deluxe. For some reason I missed a pocket and didn't picture the cpr mask, bandaids or super glue.

Some of this lives in my coat but this is a pretty accurate representation of what I take into work on my person every day.

Last note since this picture was taken on my work desk the sig p238 is missing.

Concealed means concealed.

Right now, it's the Shiro NeOn R20, my wallet, my keys and phone. And maybe a ballpoint if I can remember. I'd post a pic, but I left my phone at church last night and won't have it back until tomorrow... (dummy moment from me)

A lot of people carry where I work and after 5 years the boss doesn't really pay any mind to what I have. He doesn't even flinch when I sharpen my Skrama 240 at my desk during lunch. But I have a gun box in my toolbox that I transfer to during work.

At least you know where it is. The zebra F-701 is a wonderful budget pen about $7 last I checked. I find it's nice to have a decent pen on me but I go through a lot of cartridges. (Adulting sucks)

Exactly how many pockets do you have?
I couldn't carry all of that without a golf cart...

Between my coat, shirt, and pants the contents of that picture goes into 12 pockets. The nextorch light in top left lives on my bumpcap (that I have to wear all the time )

Those are annoying.

I'll have to check out that pen. Maybe if I intentionally buy one I'll have a motive to carry it! The majority of the time, when I lose things, I simply have no clue where I've left them.

...I'm not an old man but I feel like one sometimes.

Countycomm embassy pen
Sharpie
Zebra F-701
Rite in the rain
Benchmade longhand. I added o-rings for comfort

I carry the benchmade every day. But I keep a few zebras around.

I have a few others but these are the common ones
