I don't know how to post this without sounding like a psychotic, overweight mallninja basement goblin, but here it is, the thread for suchlike.
I have always carried a knife of some sort, it's a cub scout thing probably (no I didn't get diddled up the bumbum by Akala), but the "be prepared" moto has stuck with me and these days with relatively unlimited disposable cash and a keen eye for crap marketed directly at me, I've built a collection of swiss army knives and shit I could butcher a cow with on a full moon.
Also, living in America I can buy stuff I would have been nicked with by the dibble in blighty. Flick knives and the ilk. "Tacticool" trash. You know what I mean.
So what's in your pocket?

Why would you be at risk of getting diddled up the bum by author and activist Akala?

In my pockets, slim anti-RFID wallet, phone, dog biscuits, poop bags, headphones case. If it's winter and I'm wearing a coat I may also have various headgear, gloves.
Attached to my belt... keys (house, car) on a chain, Leatherman (can't really get away with much more of a knife here), sunglasses case, maglite.
Travel lite. 😁

After watching Se7en I wanted a properly weighted throwing knife to throw at a dartboard just like Morgan Freeman does. Even asked about it in a local army surplus and tacticool shop. Surprisingly the guy wasn't that keen on discussing acquisition of illegal weapons with a 15 year old.

Yeahhhh, feel similarly like a wannabe Ray Mears here but I’ve usually got an Opinel no7 or 8 in my pocket, and even regularly sharpen it on my grindstone. Reckon I could shave with it.

I always carry a Solothurn S18/1000 with me in my pocket.

I don't carry it in my pocket, but I usually keep a compact Gerber multitool in my backpack.
Also have a decent Leatherman, but that just sits on my desk due to the ridiculous locking blade law.

In one jacket I have a miniature clothes peg in one pocket and a very small rubber gasket thing in the other, they’ve been there for at least 6 years and I’ve no idea where either came from

I don’t even have a key ring on my keys. One house key and a car key joined together.
I have that, sometimes my wallet but usually not, and my phone.
If I need anything else I’ll just make it when I’m there with my bare hands.

How is not being able to find anything ‘tactical’?

It’s all a bit LET’S OFFROAD innit, yet anyone needs anything opening or tweaking or, in a pinch, shiving, suddenly I’m the man.
Dangerously close to impressing ladies with yo-yos I’ll admit.

I can count the number of times I’ve randomly needed a multi tool on no hands but then I’m not the kind of person who goes around expecting to fix people’s light switches or slowly saw my way through a very small tree branch

Wallet, keys, phone and mask are about it for me these days.
I've got a Swiss army knife somewhere. I used to have a small collection of swords, but now all I've got is an 18th century tanto (carved sheath with ebony) which is on display and a head hunters sword (pig skin sheath and monkey teeth "decoration") from when I lived in Brunei which is in the attic.

It can be pretty rough near me, so I've got my eye on one of these bad boys next:

Not that I'm a dab hand at DIY, virtually the opposite. Just whenever I do stuff, I collect bits along the way and can't be arsed to put them in the shed |

keys on a lanyard - Front door and deadlock key, key to my dad's house, bike lock key, work locker key. Also have two bottle opener that looks like a key and a couple of phone SIM eject pins - useful when I need to reset router.
Wallet - mostly just contains cards these days.
Phone
Facemask
Hence my mantra of "keys, phone, wallet, mask" whenever I leave the house. If pockets allow, each item is in a different pocket - wallet and mask in back pockets, keys and phone in front.
So yeah, nothing interesting at all.

I rarely take my wallet with me anywhere nowadays. Digital ID and Apple Pay get me through 99% of what I’d need it for. As soon as I bother to get the remote access app working for the cars I won’t need the keys either, which’ll be nice.

I’m quite fond of my peg and rubber gasket now, I’ve had them so long I’d be devestated if I lost them. I dropped the ring when I pulled my mask out of the pocket for the shops and had to chase it halfway down the street like Gollum or something  |
