I carry this every single day. In dress clothes and in shorts and t-shirt.

And if you were wondering - No I don't have a rolex!
 
I have to go into courthouses quite often, so I've stopped carrying a knife as an every day thing during the week. I do carry a keychain with keys, a little LED light and an Atwood prybaby. Also, my iPhone, a pen and wallet.
 
On my own time/days off.....
1911 subcompact with staggered remington golden sabre hollowpoints and hornady critical defense, in .45. it is on me at all times when awake,at home and in public.Great concealed carry platform for me. also extra magazine.
benchmade folder or cold steel master hunter. the cs is in a sheath i made and the tip goes right into my front pocket. cant see it with a polo shirt on.i dont carry the cs very often anymore as my wife`s boss needed to cut a zip tie and i handed him my cs.....might as well been a kukri to him... his face was priceless....he didnt even want to take it.
I dont edc a light on me but i mod lights so at home and in car there are several. (if i need light but dont have a flashlight i will build a fire or light someone on fire as needed ;)
also the obligatory BOB in the vehicles along with other supplies.


At work i carry my issued glock 17.
a small fixed blade of my own making.
solarforce l2 w/ r5 pill
 
I carry this much stuff just about every day:

left front pocket-
2 rollerball pens
1 Fenix LD01 light
1 Leatherman Juice S2
1 Byrd Hawkbill SE

right front pocket
1 Benchmade Leopard (full size)
1 iphone 4

left rear pocket
1 wallet

right rear pocket
empty

left wrist
Seiko orange Sumo

in my shirt pocket or clipped to my collar I will have my prescription sunglasses


Each week I am wearing a different watch and carrying a different folding knife. On weekends I am wearing one of my weekend watches and sometimes I swap out a larger Leatherman such as the Charge for my Juice.
 
It's a bad day if I don't have all this one me;

Leatherman Wingman
Semi-custom black & blue Spyderco Tenacious
Spyderco Bug on my keychain
Keys
Titanium Inovations Illuminati keychain light
Wallet w/ Cardsharp and DMT 600 grit diamond card inside.
Phone
G-shock
Zippo/Butane Zippo
And I swap out various paracord bracelets for different colors/styles.
 
I try to carry the bare minumum, especially when its 110 degrees out.

S&W M&P340 in a Desantis pocket holster
6 extra rounds on a speedstrip
Victorinox Tinker w/a 6ft paracord lanyard
Fenix E15 flashlight
Small keychain container with a few Aleve & allergy pills
+ all the regular stuff like cell, wallet, and keys.

Sometimes i'll throw in my Scrapivore but the Tinker can usually handle all my cutting needs.
 
Man, with some of the hyper redundant loadouts you guys carry, I am surprised none of you wear 3 watches... ;)

For me, my work EDC is:
Leatherman Charge AL, with extra bit kit
SAK Alox Cadet
BM 558 Ritter Mini-Grip
BM/HD 13960 Osborne, BM 551 D2 Griptilian, or BM 527 Ultra Presidio, depending on my mood.
Split Pea lighter and eGear picolight on a carabiner
Fisher X-750 Space Pen
Car Keys with eGear picolight
INOVA X1 Dual mode flashlight.
CountyComm Embassy Pen
Saddleback Leather Large Bifold
Seiko Orange Monster w/steel bracelet
Oakley Half Jackets, or Oakley Monster Dog Sunglasses
Black Paracord Bracelet
Airman's Battle Uniform

My in house EDC is :
SAK Alox Cadet
BM 558 Ritter Mini-Grip
Fisher X750 Space Pen
Split Pea lighter and eGear Picolight on a Carabiner.
Seiko Orange Monster w/steel bracelet

My in Public EDC is:
SAK Alox Cadet
Fisher X-750 Space Pen
Split Pea Ligher and eGear Picolight on a Carabiner
Spyderco G-10 UKPK Drop Point
Spyderco G-10 UKPK Leaf Blade in a neck sheath under shirt
Car Keys with an eGear Picolight
Saddleback Leather Large Bifold
Seiko Orange Monster w/steel bracelet

Really the only reason I even carry the two UKPKs is because I like the Drop Point, but for some reason it doesn't fit into the Neck Sheath as well as the Leaf Blade. Handles are a little thicker. Even then, I feel like I carry way to much stuff. I just find it hard to leave things behind, because I like em too much (even at work, my UKPKs and Squeak are usually in my work bag for no real reason but if I want to fondle them for a bit. If it was legal, I would carry my BMs off duty too, but the UK knife laws are very anti-locking knife.

Sometimes I trade out the UKPK's for a Spyderco Squeak if I am just in basketball shorts and a T-Shirt.

My wallet (a THE wallet JR),

phone (galaxy),

a pack of camel lights (until I quit sometime in the next week, I'll enjoy my remaining time as a smoker until then)

two bic lighters since a smoker usually wanders off with one at night(I run a bar),

Leatherman Wingman,

small ring with the car keys,

GIANT ring with work keys on my wallet chain,

church key bottle opener with a monkey fist,

fenix pd32 flashlight,

largish knife-300, 560, large voyager, or pm2 usually- and smallish knife-usually a delica or native 5.

Everything gets used every day, except for the monkey fist. I just have that on the church key for fun and to keep it standing up in my back pocket.

I could probably make due with just one folder, but that wouldn't be much fun.
 
Wish you luck on the quitting smoking. Impressed that you are quitting while running a bar, gonna be rough be around all the other smokers that much. One of my troops had a lot of issues quitting cuz so many other people at work smoked. Then a group of them went and got some prescription (Chantix I think), and all have quit recently. He told me that the meds almost completely eliminated his cravings.
 
^^^^

Thanks. Work in California, so there's no smoking inside. It will be hard because college kids are becoming more and more irritating;). Put it off for too long anyway. Had twin boys pretty preemie and put it off while they were in the hospital. Now they're home and perfectly healthy, so it's time for the habit to go. Gum and a whole lot of coffee.
 
Every day I carry
Keys
Money clip ( I hate wallets)
Two knives usually a Kershaw Blur. My Griptilian, PM2 or Tenacious may find their way into my pocket. I always have my medium Case Stockman with me too.
I carry a Glock 19,29 or 30 (only one at a time) in a CrossBreed Super Tuck
I also have my Powertac Cadet for light.
 
on my person, i have my watch, 'biner, skyline, money clip, keys, cell phone, bic ligher, and neosporin spray.
 
k the everyday items are a large folder, a peanut, a light, a zippo, wallet, pen, keys, phone and watch.
 
This is what is in my pockets everyday. When I go to work, I switch out my Spyderco Police model for the Kershaw Leek.

Also my Droid phone, (which was used to take this pic.)

However, I also carry a backpack that has a ton of useful gear, but is mostly a repository for my many pills.
 
My "real life" carry (the stuff I never leave the house without) consists of:

- My iPhone 4S
- Keltec P32
- Leatherman Juice S2
- Night Armor 1AA LED flashlight
- Either a Kershaw Skyline, SAK Recruit or Gerber LST (older model 400)
- Hankerchief
