When wearing a suit..

What model is that?

That's the Benchmade 480-1 Shoki, the new version with carbon fiber handles and a M390 blade. It's an excellent little gent's knife, probably my third-favorite knife I own (behind my Para 2 and ZT 0551), but you do have to watch out for blade centering and/or blade play issues. Mine's ever so slightly off-center, but has no play, so I consider it a win.
 
I am actually looking for a nicer knife to wear to work. Right now a damascus mnandi with blackwood is winning but I might go for something custom. Currently I have a delicate clipped in to my waistband behind my right hip.
 
The only time I wear a suit is to a funeral, a wedding, or a job interview. Hopefully, the third one is forever taken care of. So, for funerals and weddings, I usually go with a nice slipjoint, or my small Sebenza. Right now, it's either a Case Bose Tribal Spear with ebony scales, or my small micarta Sebenza.
 
When carrying a folder, Lone Wolf Loveless City knife, with a fixed blade I have found only one way to go.....Bud Nealy Kinzhal with pocket attatchment mounted to sheath.
 
I prefer fixed blade knives and usually wear suspenders when I dress for work. So, any number of blades, up to 3", in a rear pocket sheath.

I only wear a suit once or twice a year, but when I do, I carry my SOG Blink, just like with anything else. It's small, thin, durable and fun.
