What knife do you keep in the car?

I keep an old Buck 119 with the spare tire along with a few fix-a-flats. Then there is the odd end tool kit and first aid box which also has a very used Opinel and a Mora Robust ready for action. In the glove compartment I keep a few folders which I picked up at Home Depot. If memory serves, I believe I paid about $15 for the pair.
 
Fixed blade Kershaw Skyline on the ledge above the nav screen. Black scales and black sheath blends in well. Should add some velcro to the equation, sometime.
 
I keep one of these in the center console. Pretty handy tool incase of an emergency or incase you come across someone else's car accident and they need assistance in being removed.

 
I got burned on a counterfeit Military earlier in the year when I first got into higher-end knives, (I've learned my lesson on where/ whom to buy from). It serves glove-box duty well.
 
Some cheap Chinese gas station folder I was given. Don't want to keep anything valuable in the car, and since I always have a folder with me, it's basically just in there as a backup, in case I need a knife but forgot to grab my folder that day or something.

That's exactly why I keep a folder in my car - in case I need a knife but, for some reason, don't have one in my pocket. I prefer keeping my Buck 112 in the car; it's 3'' blade, wood handles and brass bolsters make for a beautiful little folder (inexpensive, too) that I like having with me, but don't necessarily like carrying in my pocket (too heavy). Classic, iconic, and easily replaceable.
 
I keep stuff that I wouldnt be to upset if it got stolen. I have an OKC fighting knife between the seat and console. I keep an old Gerber Gator in my driver side door compartment. And I have a large axe in the covered bed of my pick up. I have an old bush axe handle behind my seat for knocking tires.
 
Prior to getting a job that requires me to enter an Air Force base every day, I used to keep a fixed blade in my truck. But they are not allowed on base, and they do random inspections. So the only knife in my vehicle is the two or three folders that are on me. They do not do body searches, only vehicle searches. And folders are okay as practically everyone has one or more, even the supervisors.
 
In my DD, I keep a SOG Fusion in the glove box and a Vic Farmer in an EDC pouch in the driver's side door.
Weekend classic car has a Kershaw Blur in the glovebox and a Spyderco Manix2 in a tool bag in the trunk.

I also carry my GHB in the trunk of whichever vehicle I'm driving. Kinda forgot them all, but there's a CASE Medium Stockman in there, a Vic Huntsman, M4 sprint Manix2 and SYKCo War Dog. Want to make sure I have all my bases covered...

Random multi-tools in each location, as well.
 
My Buck 112 was stolen from my center console a few years back (someone had a universal remote from a dealership - broke into lots of cars in my city). I didn't have one for a while, but have been carrying one again since then. I usually carry a SOG Vulcan (tanto), rarely ever carry anything more valuable.
 
its a Buck of some sort, not sure of the model. it is partially serrated and has a bottle open on the other end. I mostly use it when I take recycling to town, to break down boxes. and the bottle open can come in handy if I ever want to have a been when I'm out and about.
 
Leatherman is as good as it gets here in the uk , iv never been stopped by the police but sub 3" non locker is the max so I'm pushing it with a Leatherman! Lol , I'm my wildest dreams it's my busses sfno ;-) .
 
A BK2 is in the front pouch of my seat cover. I have a scout knife and a SAK in the door panel tray. Back in the tool box in the bed of my truck you can find all sorts of fish tackle and edged tools. I try to be prepared for any need on the road. I live close to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay plus there are several waterways close by so it's not unusual to go fishing several times a week.
 
Leatherman Skeletool in the center console armrest, and a Utilitac II in a tool bag in the trunk
 
A beater CS recon 1 in the glove box - mostly for those times when I have a brain fart and realize I've left the house without my knife.
