What's your at work knife and your occupation?

I thought I'd do a "what is your EDC" with a twist.. so I'll start:

Used to be CS Recon 1 or BM 710 as an EMT

Now, CS medium voyager or BM minigrip as a medical student (they have a generic "no weapons" policy without defining what that means, so I play it safe with a 3" or less knife)
 
I work online via telecommute for a company in the U.S. I carry whatever I want and generally have three or four more scattered around my desk.
 
I work at bass pro so can pretty much carry what I please. Usually my small insigno or caly 3.5 for comfortability, but occasionally one of my mana para 2's. Also I always carry a leatherman micra for those pesky zip ties
 
Industrial refrigeration technician.

The best work knife for me is the one I can abuse, and it won't break and afford to leave behind on a job. So the best is probably a Kershaw Blur.

My favorite is my Benchmade Ritter Griptillian or I just got one of those Spyderco Manix II's in moonglow. Love them both, but can't afford to destroy them and keep replacing them.
 
Prosthetic technician

I carry a GEC dogleg jack daily and usually a sak tinker or Spyderco tenacious
 
full time student/wilderness survival and camping instructor at a scout ranch/commercial Dive tender.

for school, anything no one seems to care which is nice.

for the scout ranch anything though if its a FB or bigger then 3in its not within view of scouts.

for my dive job, we're not allowed to carry knives due to a stupid incident and lots of sueing so some rope cutters with safety razors. but i normally have my BM 111 somewhere on my friend's reserve tank
 
I'm currently a student enrolled in a paramedic program. I carry an original style Leatherman Wave, along with a Chris Reeve Umnumzaan. The Leatherman acts as my utility tool, and gets far more use than any other knife I own. The Umnumzaan (which replaced the Microtech Socom Manual I edc'd) follows my rule of having something that I can fully rely and use in the event of sheer catastrophe. Et al, in the event that I need to cut something, right there, right now, I'd whip out my Umnum. Sometimes I'll carry a Microtech Ultra-tech just for giggles, but its illegal, so I try not to.
 
online mktg / sales - whatever I want - usually a Case SBJ but occasionally something bigger like today a Buck Strider or OTF or Balisong.
 
Slayer of demons and my knife is a bk9.


My other job I'm a maintenance tech at a nursing home and I carry a Leatherman wave, and a kfu edc custom fixed blade in my waistband. I also have been known to carry a bk10/swamprat m6/sykco 511 in my pack in my locker along with some other blades. My newest are a para 2 and a Zt 0350 so the rotation is getting a shake down.
 
Being a farmer I find myself using my knife constantly. Benchmade 950 is my typical EDC
 
Finance manager of the largest dealership in my city (city is relative though, this being Maine.) Wear a suit all day, so my EDC is a Busse Battle Mistress in a drop leg.

Just kidding, I actually carry a Strider SMF, which is surprisingly easier to pull off in dress pants and khakis than jeans.
 
Work in an office environment. Carry everything from a Case Peanut to Spyderco Para2 depending on my mood.
 
Architectural Designer

Sage 2/3 or Para1 in d2/s30v depending on office or job site environment.
Although box cutters & x-acto knives are all over the office in different sizes...handy tools in all...
 
I'm a full time student at a uni so my edc is usually my umnumzaan, hest 2.0, or my para 2. My ghb is in my car though which houses my scrapmuk and esee 6.
 
I am a Podiatrist (almost 20 years now!), and I generally use my Spyderco PM2. Sometimes, I'll carry around a Case Peanut.

I'm an I/T professional.

At work I carry a Victorinox Cybertool 41 on my keyring.

Sometimes I will switch it out for either a Leatherman Juice CS4, Swisschamp, or Climber/Gerber clutch combo.

I always carry a locking one-handed folder in my right pocket, usually a Spyderco Tenacious.
 
I am a master certified auto technician and carry a first production run CRKT ripple, it gets the crap beat out of it, it is missing a few bearings in the IKBS, very tiny ball bearings, but still smooth as silk, when it is not full of grit.
 
I'm a "Registered Environmental Health Specialist"/"Registered Sanitarian" according to my license, depending on what state I'm in. I spend a lot of time in the field. I carry a SAK Electrician Plus in my pocket and a Leatherman Wave in my field bag. An Al Mar Eagle goes in my back pocket to compliment my CCW if I'm going into a place that's a little jicky.--KV
