As a confirmed gear head I always have at least one folder on me unless strictly forbidden. Usually it's a smallish locking folder on the right pocket, and a larger folder in a slipcase in the left pocket (my "burrito knife"). Then I may have a fine work knife in my tool pouch in my bag (I cycle/transit, so I always have a bag). Finally, I may (usually?) have a larger camp/SHTF knife in the bag as well (I work/live in Metro L.A.¹). Also: I'm a lifelong nail-biter and I'm basically screwed for lots of little tasks if I don't have some kind of blade on me. (The struggle is real <wink>). ¹— a new habit is keeping a pair of work/utility gloves in my bag at all times. I have enough pairs so I don't have to shuffle them around. When SHTF/The Big One/WOROL happens, being able to protect your hands will be a huge differentiator.
