For over 50 years my mantra has been; 'never go anywhere without a knife and flashlight'. I carry a Victorinox Classic and a Olight 1R EOS light. Used almost daily, I might add.

That mantra was a recommendation by a SAS friend of my fathers.

ps: and for those who get upset "Oh my, why do you carry a knife?" The answer is: "Because you don't".

The best EDC pocket knife when wearing any sort of tailored clothing is the Swiss Army Classic. It's very small and light, and won't "print" outside a suit pocket. The scissors are pretty useful for snipping loose threads, and I actually use the toothpick. It's hardly a weapon and shouldn't terrify reasonable liberals.

From top to bottom. Drop point Crusher, Blue Ridge Hunter, Huntsman. Is the coating on huntsman actually darker, or is that just the light?

I think that you'll find plenty of liberals here, myself included, who love pocket knives. In pocket today, I have a custom Wilkins Leafstorm with bronzed titanium scales, and a Microtech MSI with contoured black 10 scales.

Most of the compassionate people I know are liberals.

I have a little 58 mm one from Good Art Hlywd: https://www.selfedge.com/good-art?product_id=2529
And love it, but find the tools too small for most uses. I carry a titanium Daily Customs SAK tinker, and use the three screwdriver heads (2 flathead and one Phillips) very regularly.

I think you can go a little bigger than a classic, especially if you carry in a jacket pocket and not a trouser pocket.

I’d consider having a tailor add an inside “knife pocket” to a pair of trousers, similar to the pockets some pants have (had?) for smaller cell phones.

I often wear dress slacks without a jacket in the summer. I actually am considering having small knife pockets sewn in to all my dress pants keep it vertical. I used to carry a Swiss Army “Waiter” model which is smaller than their full sized ones, but I find the scissors and nail file fairly useful for urban/office EDC, especially for cutting small moleskin patches should swollen feet start giving me hot spots in my dress shoes (not uncommon in summer).

I also carry a small Gerber multitool in my briefcase in case I need a more substantial blade or pliers. That will
probably be upgraded to a Leatherman Squirt.

An easy fix that you can have a seamstress do is to sew a line into your pocket bags, maybe 2” long, and just 1.5” from the side seam, just enough to hold a knife without a clip vertical. Adjust for knife size, of course.

I consider a Swiss Army knife my multitool, and nearly always carry a separate knife that is easy to operate with one hand - I find this safest when doing a task that requires both hands, since you can easily close the knife without sheathing or needing your second hand, or simply having to put down an open blade, but everyone has different use cases.

That's a good idea, hell I could maybe even do that myself.

My main pocket knife is a Spyderco Tenacious (the S35VN steel version), which I got because it's 100% one-handed open and close. But it has a more aggressive "tactical" look to it, as it's large (3.25 inch blade) and I flick it open from the thumb hole, which mimics a switchblade. I never need a blade like that for the office, I only carry it when hiking/camping or doing physical labor of some sort. It would tear up a worsted wool trouser pocket.

There are tiny knives that are super useful and while you thumb flick them naturally, you can also slow roll them like my wife likes to do. I recommend this QSP mini penguin to everyone. The sheepsfoot style blade shape and tiny size makes it innocuous to nearly everyone: https://www.traditionalpocketknives...n-mini-knife-qs130s-gray-jigged-titanium-m390
It is also compliant with all laws in North America (IANAL)

I Love Ansos” work but I’m struggling to think of the use case for this. Is this meant to be used as a neck knife? Sure but why does anyone need one of those?

It would be an excellent art knife for cuts, making fine utility cuts. That pommel would be confortable in the palm, the hole allows you to pinch with the thumb and third finger, and the index finger would be on the top of the knife.

Well designed, but also for extremely specialized use. Anything you would pinch grip, this would be used for. He says that it would be good for outdoor use. That I don't really see, but for sculpting, whittling, and utlity draw cuts, yes, absolutely.

I'm guessing that the sales are not going to be super high.
