Downtown Baltimore maintenance. Anything from painting, power washing, landscaping, etc.
I carry many, but the one I'd specifically call my work knife is my large sebenza tanto micarta. There isn't a spot on it without a scratch , scuff, scrape. Still as mechanically sound as the day it arrived.
:thumbup: Tmack!
It's refreshing, seeing a blue collar working man actually use his high quality CRK, to do his dirty work. That picture, is an amazing testimonial, for CRK!

I build die cast machines for the automotive industry.
Usually I carry 2-3 knives in rotation. Strider SMF Tanto, Spyderco Tenacious, Spyderco Yojimbo 2, Spyderco Tuff, Swamp Rat Ratmandu...just to name the usual suspects. I work in a very knife friendly environment. My supervisor loves Busse Knives, and watched me chop up a 2x4 with my ASHBM in a vise with like 4 swings one day. He loved it.

I'm a printer & currently manage the printing department of a health care company.
I've carried a Leatherman Juice Pro for nearly 20 years and currently keep a RAT-1 and a SAK explorer in the back pocket.
The mafnifier makes a great loupe when you dont want to bother with the real deal.
Add a Craftsman folding utility knife and I'm all set.

I guess you could say I haven't found "the" knife yet. I have however learned that pretty much any knife works for edc, the rest is personal preference! I just ordered my first Alox Sak which might change the game for me!

That's what she said!
sorry, couldn't resist
I work in a computer lab environment with a lot of access controls and policies in place. I always have my SAK Classic on my keys, but I switch between a Kershaw Leek and a Sog Blink for my "other" blades. I like knives that can fit into the coin/watch pocket of my jeans so the Sog fits that bill nicely.

The leatherman and rat 3 are my heavy use, stick in the mud and fix irrigation tools, then I rotate through the folders pictured for normal cutting tasks.
I recently added a streamlight microstream and I've also started carrying a lighter smaller folder in my left front pocket for delicate tasks (splinter picking etc).
Yes. I carry up to 3 knives and a multitool. My co-workers think I'm crazy. I also always have any tool I or they need on me all the time.

Former military / armed private security contractor. Went from that to private armored car / armed liability transfers to stay closer to home. Wanted better hours / more time with the family so I now work as a "Receiving Coordinator" working with logistics companies to schedule incoming deliveries to the warehouse I work in.
