Yeah, that's why I started carrying a SAK Spartan for my EDC. I can always add a Benchmade folder, but unless I'm going somewhere that a more substantial cutting tool could be required, the less offensive knife should be of much less concern to the lady behind me in the check-out line. If there's no good reason to unnecessarily upset people, I try to accommodate.
Other potential EDC knives are Benchmade 940, 710 and Ritter RSK Mk1 -- depending.
