Following is currently on my person every day:
- Leather wallet with "body contour" (aka permanently shaped like my right butt cheek)
- Wedding ring
- 1.5"W x 34"L leather belt with generic buckle
- Loose change - currently $.17
- Marathon TSAR with Marathon bracelet
- Fisher space pen
- Work badge
- Keys on a lanyard, with a lighthound keychain light
- Phone
- HDS EDC U60XRGT
- Leatherman Wave
- Graham Brothers Stubby Razel with kydex/mini Tek Lok
Some days I'll change the knife rotation or just drop the blade since the Leatherman does have one. The watch changes occasionally too.
