I don't considera pocket knife to be a weapon. I was a boyscout and I've always used one as a tool. That being said, I have always thought that one of the only benefits of leaving the gun in the car is that I can respond whittily to someone about my pocket knife.
I have a kershaw blur, so it's kind of a combat style folder, I guess. I mean more so than a swiss army knife. At least to the sheep. So whenever I use my knife at work, I wonder if other people are seeing this as a dangerous weapon. If I were ever confronted about the knife, I would be able to argue that it is not a weapon, the 9mm in my car is a weapon. The knife is a cutting tool like scissors, and while either could be used as a weapon, I would say that the fact that I normally carry a pistol is proof enough that this is not it's purpose.
Off topic... I was watching "take home chef" with my fiancee, and the premise of the show is that professional chef goes home with some girl at the store and helps her to create a gormet meal for her husband as a surprise. Anyway, she's talking about how her husband is going to be so surprised, and he said something that really caught my attention: "He doesn't carry a knife, does he?" I was really upset by the comment. I don't think I need to go into why.

ICC at work, IWB or ankle and keep to myself about it. A couple months ago I walk up to the front of the office to get a package that just arrived, I bend over to open it and flip up my pocket knife.
A very concerned "Oh my, do you always carry that?!", came from the secretary.
Thinking oh shit, my gun became exposedwhenI bent over.I turn around and she's looking at my pocket knife. I look at her and then back at my knife with a very confused look on my face, ''ummm.. only when I need to open boxes...?".
"Oh, well it looks dangerous."
"Thats why I carry it." Smile and walk away, thinking to myself, I wonder how she'd feel about the loaded 9mm under my shirt.
