I usually carry a small Opinel. I don’t know how popular they are outside of Europe but they are cheap and reliable.
I only don't carry where it is not legally allowed/posted and have since ~age 7. It's a tool.
Lately it has been a Justin Case Janey J.

So, why did we go with D2 steel? D2 steel is an air hardening, high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. It has high wear and abrasion resistant properties. It is heat treatable and will offer a hardness in the range 55-62 HRC, and is machinable in the annealed condition. The Justin Case Tactical...

I've recently decided to retire my little Swiss Army keychain knife that I've carried for over 20 years. With increasing security checkpoints I have to go through its often creating problems for me. At concerts, at my kids school, etc. I have to attend court for work often and guards at checkpoints nit pick about a tiny little keychain that has about an inch long blade on it. It has some sentimental value so I'd rather not come in to a situation where I lose it so decided to take it off my keychain.
Yes, this tiny little thing makes some people uncomfortable.

I got tired of big old folders that wore holes in my pockets. Never seemed to need the weight or blade length for Every Day tasks.
So I carry a CRKT Delilah's P.E.C.K, with a 1.75" blade that weighs a bit under an ounce.

I might get fired if spotted at work not carrying a basic cutting tool.
Just the basics mind you.

I vastly prefer Bencmade and have too many to recall exact numbers. But they do get damaged or more often lost at work, so I carry cheaper stuff, like under $100 instead of over $150.Too lazy to take an actual picture of my EDC, so I used Benchmades.
Now and then I have given them up to Police as well, a couple of times in NYC when attacked or threatened.
So I keep up on local laws and some in this thread I cannot carry.
