My evolving EDC

Here's the latest.
This leather pouch/slip case fits neatly in to my front pocket.
The case hold a Kaweco Lilliput fountain pen (engraved for sentimental reasons). The Technician's Pocket Screw Driver clips onto the case (yep, I got one in black now) into the groove between the LM Squirt and Ti3. The mini pry bar is a Kershaw PT-2, with the nylon grips removed, and given a once over with a black Sharpie (but I'm looking at a way to get one of the PT-2s in proper black, but they only seem available in USA, as a package with an assisted opening knife.)
The long flat black leather strap has a pair of Uncle Bill's tweezers in black clipped inside (can you see a pattern emerging...) The strap also has a 6inch / 15cm ruler imprinted onto it.
The LM Squirt had the file removed and eyeglass driver and awl added. There's a Thrunite Ti3, and the paper clip slips into the weave on the lanyard/fob. This lanyard/fob has a contactless payment card/chip inside the 2m of paracord weave. The card carries just enough small change for a coffee or snack, or my bus fare home, if I lose my wallet.

Small, cool and useful.
Hooked, like everyone else.
All hail the hook!

This is a really great set up. The sheath is really well done and I totally understand the Squirt and Ti3 combo, such a powerful little set.

I didn't make the sheath. I found a someone on internet who did leather work, and sent him some measurements. After a bit of discussion this was the result. It's taking the form of the inside items nicely and developed a curve so it sits nicley against my leg.
The original idea was for the Ti3, Squirt (or Juice S2), and Lilliput pen. But the pen slot could probably take a Fisher bullet space pen, and the S2 blade looks (to others) too large for office EDC.
With the Squirt instead of the Juice there was room for a small pry bar, so I had some fun over the last few weeks having auditions (

)
The Technician's Pocket Screw Driver was a lucky fit.

nice combo, almost entirely missed spotting the tweezers

Here's the latest incarnation.
But first, my thanks to
tattoosteve99
for the PT-2 in true black (not Sharpie black I was using earlier),
Syph007
for the Spyderco Roadie, and
hiraethus
for the PS4 (which I modded). And to numerous others here who gave advice about all sorts of gear.
Fits front pocket so nicely sometimes I wonder if it is there. Been carrying everyday now.
I may get another pouch with a 4th slot, so I can put the Thrunite Ti3 in there. The Technician's Pocket Screw Driver is maybe too much, as the Squirt has drivers too. So the Technician's may be relegated to a bag.
Advantage of this combination is that if I need to go knifeless I can
, just by leaving the Roadie behind
