One thing I didn't think of is jobs like bankers, programmers, etc. that are office related or non blue collar where doing any kind of a repair or assembly that is not in your classification may have a more stringent policy on knives. In my line of work where using my tools is my living, usually HR has policies on knives but it usually is for blades over 5 inches, and until recently, we use to could take them with us all over the flight line at airports, but now we have to get a waver to keep them in our tool boxes and they stay there and you are not allowed to go to and from work with them. But you still have access to them at work and you would have to leave another one in the car. I have left that field of work after over 25 years due to an car related injury from a man who was not medically suppose to be driving and decided one day to take his car out for a spin at a high rate of speed. My new job has been good to me and has a relaxed policy on knives so I've been very fortunate.
