What's your at work knife and your occupation?

Case Swayback Jack (CV, with chestnut bone) or CRK Mnandi (snakewood inlay); history professor (of modern China).

Except for opening mail, the knives do not see much use in either classroom or my office.
 
I made this one, and it's strapped to my duty belt for now. I change the knife on the duty belt around once every 2 months, last one was an orange handled esee 4 and before that one it was a Scrapyard Sycko 511.

Police Officer, Severtech MilBastard, I just got at ZT300 and wearing it for the first time today. Before this a Chris Reeve Sebenza, and a Lionsteel SR-1
 
I work in Accounts Receivable for a global company and I travel out of the country from time to time. When in the US I have a sodbuster jr or case med stockman in the office and a PM2 outside of the office. When I go to Costa Rica later this month, I will leave my knives at home. I don't like traveling out of the country with knives.
 
I'm a library assistant, and one thing I do is unpack the mail. We get lots of books in shrinkwrap. Shrinkwrap is a pain, but having a drop point knife of some kind makes it easier. I rotate between my Buck vantage, and a couple of small hand-made knives. They all have 2.5" blades.

Actually, I got a lot of help making this first one. Stacey Apelt profiled it, and Stan Buzek did the heat treat (59.5 RC):

This one has G10 scales with carbon fiber pins. It is 154CM heat treated by Texas Knife Supply, and I am very pleased with how it holds an edge:

Network admin...my workplace has a no knife policy but a leatherman squirt is acceptable so that's my current work EDC
 
I cook for a small private liberal arts college and I typically have a para2 and a serrated dragonfly salt on me at work. The para 2 has the perfect blade shape for opening boxes and other sorts of packaging and the handle is large and grippy enough to hold onto when your hards are wet or slippery. The serrated dragonfly comes in handy for rope/twine and zipties as well as serves as my sheeple friendly knife.
 
As an engineer I need to keep a low profile so lately it has been a CRK Insingo, small, with the clip removed and floating around in my right front pocket.

As a Correction Officer the only blade we keep around is a 911 tool. Which is a curved hook like a rescue blade used to cut seat belts. Except we use ours to cut down inmates that use bed sheets as a noose to hang themselves with...
 
LEO. I carry a Ka-Bar TDI knife and a Leatherman Wave on my duty belt, and have a Emerson Mini-CQC 15 in my right pocket. Typically have a Becker BK-11 inside of my shirt, also.
