Good drill, Marty.

In my right pocket is my trusty cut-down Fox 40, DR PICO Lite and DR Photon on the multi-gear ring and RSK Mk1 (orange handle) clipped to pocket. Left pocket is another PICO Lite on my car/home key ring. Leatherman Charge on belt (left side). Red Bandanna in right cargo pocket.

Just for the hell of it, sitting at my desk, on desktop I find 6 folding knives, 2 fixed blades, 8 flashlights (2 in pieces), 3 whistles. Desk drawers, about 30 knives and 18 multi-tools. Let's not even talk about what's within reach on my office shelves. I suppose it's this line of work. <g> I am one sick puppy...got to get a life... <~>

OK, back to work protecting our knives...

Tough to follow Doug, but,

In my right front pocket is my Mission Wallet with:
AAA LED Ultrafire flashlight
Kershaw Chive folder
Sliver Grippers
Zebra mini pen and pencil set
credit card
cash
credit card-sized fresnel lens
2 Bandaids
Pico mini notebook (sticky notes and mini ballpoint pen)

On the key chain on my desk:
Arc AAA light
spare AAA battery
Res-Q-Me
Swisstech screwdriver set
DR Fox-40 whistle
Pico Pen
peanut lighter (from CountyComm)
no name button cell LED light

Yes, I believe in redundancy. I sometimes carry a second small folder from AGRussell (their 2" Titanium lockback folder, a sweet knife)

And of course, in my workbags are full EDC kits with more of everything.

My keychain is ALWAYS attached to me, and has a peanut lighter, LED light, and about 5' of paracord. Left front pocket is my RSK Mk1. I also have my Leatherman Kick on my belt, and a bandana. Thats it! Oh, and an OLD p-38, thats more of a good luck charm than anything else, as it was a gift upon entering the Army from an uncle.

1. SAK Spartan in my right front pocket (tweezers, can opener, bottle opener, awl, corkscrew, flat head screwdriver, 2 knife blades)
2. Whistle in my right front pocket
3. Ferrocerrium rod and PJ cotton ball in right front pocket (1,2 and 3 all connected with cord)
4. Photon minilight on keychain in right front pocket
5. Cell phone in left front pocket
6. Blackberry on belt
7. Fanny pack 7 feet away in top drawer of filing cabinet
7a. Byrd Crow knife
7b. Dust mask
7c. Mini first aid kit
7d. Liter of water

I live in Los Angeles, CA and keep the whistle: (1) for rescue in case of earthquake (I want people to know where I am); (2) to attract attention in case of human predation.

I need to make a similar fanny pack for my DW who also works in a skyscraper. Given my location, the ferrocerrium rod and PJ cotton jelly are never needed. More a party trick than anything else.

Knife- nope. Company policy.
Whistle- er, nope.
Bandana- used hankerchief qualifies doesn't it?
Flashlight- photon microlite on my badge lanyard and a maglite in my backpack within reach.

2 of the allowable 3.

I'm not allowed to cut myself from the rubble. (or anything else for that matter)

The dogtag or housekey around my neck would have to suffice.

I should ask for a supply of kindergarten paste to eat while I wait for rescue.

Good drill. Flashlight and SAK in left pocket. Bandana in right rear pocket. Whistle . . . . . . . uh. Yeah.

After reading some of these posts I am going to have to reprioritise. Especially in light of the recent news reports of plots to blow stuff up in NYC.

Easy as Pi.

Pocket knife- right pocket.

SAK- w/ ferro rod and whistle attached, in the bin by my right knee, on the shelf under the desk. Same bin has a spare MiniMag and Gerber Inifinity. Right next to it is one of my Ka-bars.

Pocket knife, gentlemanly- reach forward, follow right edge of the computer monitor, and then find the surge supressor it sits on, sitting there along with my dice. smile

Bandana, slightly icky- hanging off the left side of the chair. It is my napkin. Also a towel on the back of the chair.

Bag of tricks with all of the above and a lot more- slide the chair back a foot to get clear of the computer. Turn left 90 degrees, extend left leg, continue leftward sweep.

unimog: I seem to recall some manufacturer that made a blade shaped exactly like a dogtag. Not sure if youre willing to violate the rules or not, but that may be an option. I may have seen it in an AAFES store in my travels, but searching the net may help you.
And, yes, a used handkerchief counts-mine is a used bandana, especially as I am recovering from a cold...

Knife - 0.000 s ... because I was just fiddling with it while reading ETS forum smile.

Flashlight and whistle were approx. 2 meters from me. I located them in several seconds.
I don´t have any bandana.

Interesting excercise by the way.
