My work circumstances are changing again, and, like all changes, there are plusses and minuses (is that a word?) in this one, and they bear on what will work for me, for EDC.

There are several points on the “plus” side. I will no longer be commuting for 1.5 hours each way, partly by car, partly by subway, partly by walking. I will no longer be passing through a city where the maximum legal blade length for a pocket knife is a ridiculous 3 inches. I will no longer be 30+ miles, a river and some major potential terrorist targets away from my car during a typical day. I will, instead, be staying entirely within a state where the actual knife laws are typically confusing, but where the current DA's policy is not to prosecute anyone for merely carrying ANY folding knife- though of course it could always be added to other charges, if other charges there be.

On the minus side, I will still be working in an office environment where, though it's pretty casual, nothing even remotely resembling a weapon will be considered acceptable in the least, and displaying such an item, even once, even by accident, could easily cost me not just embarrassment, but a great deal of income. Uniform for the gig is khakis or similar, loafers or boat shoes, and polo shirts in the summer… not exactly a lot of concealment options. Simply hanging a pouch on my belt or clipping a folder to my pocket or wasteband will NOT work- I have to be more discrete than that. Neck knives tend to be too visible as bulges in the fabric of polo shirts unless very small.

Anyone have any novel suggestions? Obviously, I've considered (and may still consider) a Sebenza (or more likely a Mission MPF-1 ( http://www.missionknives.com/Indexframes.html ) , since I do sail from time to time, and it would be nice not to have to change), but the clip-carry on either really won't work for concealment.

I expect this would be a piece that would be carried a lot, and used... well, with any luck, never. I've carried folding knives for decades, one way or another, and never revealed them (except to those who showed me theirs first), but it's getting harder as dress is getting more casual in the workplace.

I'll carry something tiny (Leatherman Micra or Victorinoc Executive, or similar) for everyday tasks, partly so I won't ever have to reveal the larger knife, and if I ever do reveal it, it will be under extreme circumstances.

The problem is really one of carry more than the knife itself. I have lots of folders currently, so something I already have may work if I can find a good carry… or I could possibly be persuaded to part with up to $500 or so for a great solution.

What I'd really like, of course, is something that's a lot like a Leatherman Micra when folded, and like a Lone Wolf Harsey ( http://www.lonewolfknives.com/store/pages/products-harsey-lc12600.shtml ) when open. :-)
