I didn't need much when I worked (retired about a year now): Keys, watch, wallet and a SAK. That's my Compact, carried that for years before the Pioneer X was introduced. Both served me well in the office.
Here's my core edc for week days. Vic Classic in the desk drawer, ready for discrete action, Vic Climber, and Olight i3 EOS aaa flashlight, both on a home made dangler, on person. This covers 99% of my needs at work. The Climber's main blade will work for cutting food. The black scales keep it from attracting attention. The dangler keeps the Climber and small light from printing on the bottom of my dress pant pockets. I do lack a defensive knife:(I bring my lunch in a basic backpack, but have some back up gear and water bottle in there. This bag will get me through a night away from home, andhandle basic first aid. I take the whole backpack during fire drills. There is a Leatherman Wave, Olight S3, tactical spork (don't laugh), reading glasses, pen, batteries, etc. In there. (Image removed from quote.)Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

I don't see the appeal; carbon steel interacts poorly with some foods, makes it taste funky. I am a huge fan of leaving a paring knife in my lunch bag, along with a spark and a cutting board. Using a folder for food doesn't make sense to me.
Currently I'm switching between the following options based on mood, weather and whatnot...1. Minichamp + Pioneer2. Minichamp + Case Mini Trapper (Thanks Jack)3. Minichamp + Cadet4. Yeomatt
