whats your office edc?

I think something with wooden handles is less intimidating than black G10, typically.

I work in an office on computers. I don't have to worry too much about showing a pocket clip, and I don't have a knife-use every day. My edc is one of the following: Caly3 Damascus, Caly3 ZDP-189, Cold Steel Medium Voyager Clip-point, or Boker Trance (today). Here is a picture of one...

I work in a business casual environment, got my AFCK on me today. Tried carrying my para2 a couple times, but snagged the slacks and the width bugs me a bit more.
 
I carry a vic Bantam, Cadet, or a Case Swayback Jack to use in front of the sheeple. Sometimes I add a BM 707, a Bradley Alias II, or a Spyderco Delica or Rescue in the bottom of my pocket. A Falkniven F1 stays in my backpack beside my desk. Just in case :rolleyes:

I say carry whatever you like that is in accordance with your school/office policy (not worth losing your job over a pocket knife) but have some regard for your fellow students/workers who may not share your enthusiasm for knives. Personally, I think that there's some comfort in familiarity; traditional slip-joints and SAKs are widely recognised as tools and have a lower probability of eliciting a negative reaction... :)
 
I've had no issues carrying my small Sebenza in the office. I think the plain Ti handles and minimalist design keeps the intimidation factor pretty low for the uninitiated.
 
My office is somewhat casual and truthfully I work mostly on my own. That said, I generally carry my sebenza (large) but others that make it into the rotation include the zt 0550 & 0560, spyderco endura 4 ffg and Sog mini aegis. I tend to like my edc blade to be around 3.5 inches so the Sog mini doesn't see a lot of pocket time but it's a good choice of I'm going to be working with a mixed group since its so small.
 
I do not work in a office but I do enjoy a small light knife sometimes. Check ot the AG Russell 3" lockback and the Spyderco UKPK

i think it is important too carry too keep our rights so this post is important. schools are physco, how many plastic butter knife honor students have suspended? push it too the limit or loose it.


interesting observation from an outside i been here for 24 hours, and see a lot of the same knives. They are nice.

But there seems too be a preference for expensive knives vs low cost throw aways. It is interesting subject.

Lately I really only carry my Southard, unless it will be illegal or I think it will make waves in the office environment I'm visiting (I get around). My Southard is slimmed down, lightened and prettied up, though:

In locales where there is a 3" limit I've been carrying the Sage 2 lately, and the Kopa where the limit is the even stricter 2.5" or I think the environment is likely to be particularly knife sensitive:

I carried a Benchmade 707 for years in mixed office environments though, and would have to give it my generic recommendation. That knife is so small it's easy to forget it's in your pocket, and nobody ever looked twice at it.
 
I posted this in the other EDC thread as well, but it has pushed the Gayle Bradley Air out of my pocket for now. It's the Benchmade Shoki, M390 steel in a light weight package. Unfortunately it has been discontinued.




I also carry my one of my SAK Alox Cadet's at the office quite a bit.

 
My office is a 12-acre farm, and I actually get by really well with a Vic Bantam. No joke, today alone it cut trellis material, carved notches in wood posts for peas, pried open the metal tabs on tomato stakes (using the multi-tool), opened numerous soil bags, and...seriously...I used the tweezers to remove a stuck ear plug from a colleagues ear canal (plugs are common to dull tractor noise). Quoting one of the farm's volunteers whom I lent the Bantam to for some cutting chores, "This knife should be standard issue for everyone on the farm at the beginning of every season. It's awesome." Here's to the minimalists.
 
My office is in a school bus. I like to carry my Benchmade 530 clipped to my pants and ZT 560 in my jacket pocket.
