No pocket knives allowed at work

[RACER X]

Started a new job, and even pocket knives are not allowed in the workplace.

What are some alternatives.

Tactical keychains ................................... yes, they are real!

This is only one of many when I googled it: http://www.defensedevices.com/black-cat.html

They had a guy lined up before me, and he had a dirty pee test.

MAN, he blew a big one, and he was a current employees son, so dad was shamed a well

Nobody, not even the TSA at airports, has ever batted an eye at a walking cane:

I'm in same boat at work. I carry a tactical titanium pen and a flashlight with strike bezel. Wish I had a pic of all my pens. Pen pictured is the least deadly of the ones I carry.

It's not a knife. It's a suicide prevention tool. Clip it to your waist band. Behind a belt. Appendix position.


That's how I carried a small one as a CO and Jailer.

Leatherman, SOG, Gerber... any number of multi-tools out there.

agree with the self-defense pen. I carry one everyday. TSA doesn't even bat an eye at it.

Wow Chitcago Bridge & Iron, iron worker buddy of mine worked for them for years! I have a Microtech credit card that's pretty nice. The bifold wallet didn't last on it.

Lots of companies are making and selling tactical pens. Check out Monkey Edge, Knife Art, GP knives and places like that have sections dedicated to tactical pens. My personal favorite is the Brian Felhoelter Ti-bolt pen. It's definitely pricey and a little hefty, but it's perfect shape, size, and amount of lethality. It also has a really cool bolt action opening system that makes playing with the pen very fun. I like Rick Hinderer pens, but the investigator is too small for my hands.

ETA- I fly with my pens and flashlights all the time and no one bats an eye.
