Brian:

I delt with this issue in a bit of utter and sheer brilliance you can find here . To this day, I sit in meetings with stuffy banker types, my EDC in full view (including now a Leatheman Wave), and no one bats an eye. I am nothing, if not modest.

Note: Pacify your EDC before entering a Federal building or getting on a plane. Some folks, folks who have arrest powers, just do not understand the notion of preparedness.

Hope this helps,
