on me at all times:

Leatherman Micra  
Hybrid liner lock w/pocket clip aluminum body, 440 stainless tanto-point half serrated half-straight blade.

Field situations:

The above, plus the Leatherman Wave and a Walther Allied Forces folder, again with liner lock and gravity switch.

-Messy- field situations: all of the above plus my issue K-Bar.

I keep [one of these](http://www.groomsmensgifts.com/blackzytel1.html) in my pocket. It’s very flat and very sharp. Mine has the DIA logo on it. Dad got it when he was on the engineering team for building the airport.

I mean, this sucker is FLAT! And about thumb length.

I don’t believe in having bigger, multi use things bulging my pockets or hanging on a belt pouch, but that’s just me. To each his own. I also can’t stand key chain knives.
