Have your wife take the larger items that you feel you really must have in her purse, and perhaps make yourself a small PSK that would fit into a surplus compass pouch - I can fit an altoids (wrapped in 550, orange contractors flagging and a couple gerber bags) and a medium sized SAK in one. If you wear a sport coat, or a vest that overhangs your belt, I doubt if anyone would be the wiser.
