Right now I work in a typical small IS office for a small OEM. Tools are certainly not discouraged but as you state open display brings a lot of akward comments though it would not get me fired or anything like that. I wear jeans or cargos most days and Kakis on the other days. Some office parties meetings etc require more formal dress. Right now my Wave (new style) is living in my front right pocket or my back right pocket (back pocket is painful) and fighting for space with my large RSK which at the moment has lost and is actually sitting on my desk! I really think that with the 3" blades on the Wave that carrying the RSK is redundant. The only reason I still debate between the two is because given how infrequently I use a tool on the Wave other than a blade, the fact that the RSK is hald the weight of the Wave scored it some points. Anyway, that's where I'm at. I think I will end up shelving the RSK for a while and carrying the Wave exclusively once the pocket clip arrives. I will have to just see how it goes. The irony here is that there is a real good chance that starting this fall I will be working in a new location (a public school) with extremly tight security and knife/tool restrictions so I will be faced with a whole new set of "challenges"... but I'll save that for another thread if/when it happens. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
