What's your at work knife and your occupation?

Audio engineer. A peanut or a GEC #22 gunstock is plenty of knife to carry around in NYC, but if I'm really feeling macho, I'll bump it up to a GEC #33 Conductor. But only if I really want to show the folks who's boss.
 
I'm in highschool so my edc is a Leatherman Style PS. Right when I get out of sports I come home and put a knife in my pocket. amybe a fixed blade on my him and 3 or 4 more on the table where I'm studying.
 
Controls Engineer, spend about 30% of the time in the office, 70% in the field (plant floor). I rotate through all my knives but at work I mostly EDC my Spyderco Techno as it is sheeple friendly, and I have a Leatherman Wave in my bag at all times.

I'm a plumber and I carry a LG micarta insingo 21 and a blue cf domino along with a green micarta Lockback by tidoute. Xm slicer gets carried some days in place if the domino.
 
HVAC....work knife, Endura, PE or CE. Also....a great flicker while driving or waiting for an evacuation......usually a PM2 or a 943. Both amazing flickers!!
 
My job: video production manager and corporate audio visual technician.

My two work blades: A leatherman wave and Spyderco endura.
 
HVAC Tech/Electrician

I carry a LM Surge, Vic Farmer, & a personalized Case Trapper my wife got me everyday. I also carry a modern locking blade but it varies. Lately it's been an Emerson mini Desert Roadhouse.

I have a desk job in cubeland and I carry whatever I'm EDCing that day - so usually one of these:

Benchmade Grip 550HG G10
Kizer Sovereign V4423A2
Lionsteel TM1
Zero Tolerance 0909
Kizer Ki405
Cold Steel American Lawman

I've been carrying the Lionsteel lately, because I haven't had it that long.
 
I'm in sales, a manufacturer's representative. I have no need for a knife in my job other than to open the rare package that comes to my office. But you never know when you need one. I carry a small Buck folder in my car and it's come in handy a few times.
 
I am a sales exec that works from home 90% of the time. Around the house I use knives for food prep, opening and breaking down my wife’s never ending barrage of boxes from the big “A” and opening plastic packaging.

We have a place in the woods that we spend every weekend at from May to Oct. This is where my knives really get used. Processing wood for kindling and tinder, cleaning brush and weeds, cleaning fish and other animals, etc.

I mostly carry a Leatherman Sidekick and a Benchmade Bugout. In the woods it is more machetes, large fixed blades and Spyderco Salts although the two Cold Steel Recon 1’s I just bought will get a lot of use.

Keep an eye on that aluminum 18", in my experience it'll be more likely to walk off than that Benchmade... ;)

My "work props" picture would be nearly identical. My work knives vary, but in the last year have included a couple of Bark Rivers (Gunny for most of the state, Essential EDC if I'm working in Chicago), a Buck 112 (my dad's knife), and for the last 6 months or so, an Ultratech.

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)

Buck Bantam masonry contractor.
 
Industrial Maintenance, Electrician/Mechanic, which is part sitting around and part telling people to operate the machinery properly. I'd say my Top 3 carried work knives are my ZT 0562OR, ZT0909 and Spydie Shaman. Cardboard, rubber pneumatic tubing, plastic baggies, food and plastic straps (the kind you use to tie down boxes to pallets), occasionally small zip ties (I use snips for the big ones) are the most commonly cut things for me.
My overall EDC consists of a set of allen keys, big and small flat head, small waterpump pliers and way too many keys. Everything else stays in the toolbox cause you know, I don't wanna cart it everywhere when I don't have to.:D
 
I'm a millwright, specialized in hydroelectric power plants, and my most carried knife is a Ka-Bar Dozier; I have a multitude of them in fact. Love the design, the quality you get for the price, the weight and they're easy to keep razor sharp.
