how do you carry that?

Slips under my belt (in my pants) very comfortable, in front or in the back. I could clip it to a pant belt loop for added security, but I don't think I need that.

I live in Spain. Unless for a hiking trip in the mountains, carrying this on my belt anywhere in public will most likely have me end up at the local police station.
Even in the outdoors, I would not advertise it openly, and unless I am using it, it will ride in a side pocket of my pack.

nice to see someone EDC-ing a fixed blade. but I know your pain, I think all of Europe is that way

funny enough, one hand opening, locking knives are forbidden here, but you may carry a fixed blade up to 12 cm blade length in public.

Who makes those laws?

That probably happened to all of us. One of my colleague's office chair lost a screw and got all wonky, so I help him out and screw it back in with the can opener driver of my Pioneer. Says the woman next to his his desk: WOT! Is that a weapon?

Ignorance is bliss.
I have been working on fixing this behavior at the office. Over 5 guys got a SAK or a Multi for their birthday, with everyone clapping their hands, and these useful tools are now spreading.

You can say what you want about Alox, but you cannot deny the logo is a plus.

The MTO challenge Chip

Living room tools bowl. I enjoy picking out stuff and just fiddle with it while I am sitting in sofa. For small around the house fixes, I first check the bowl to see if there is anything useful before I open any other drawers, or, worst case scenario, have to go to the basement for a real tool box.

If this one ever dies ( It's the Light Black version from 2007, the bezel was changed at one point, and I went trough a couple bracelets to), I get the brushed steel one.
