Back when I started working over a decade ago, I carried a large S&W SWAT knife, but I quickly realized that pulling that out to open a box in an office environment may freak some people out, or lead to me getting fired and/or arrested. I went smaller, and one of the choices, the one I have with me today, is a S&W Pocket Protector. My biggest complaint about is that the thumb stud sticks out too much and pokes into my hand when I put my hands in my pockets. The funny thing is, the thumb stud is also unnecessary, as I just use the thumb hole to open it. I also got a small Gerber Ridge at the same time, and that one lies a lot flatter, and doesn't poke my hand. They're both pretty useful for normal tasks, and won't freak people out.
