- Small knives are convenient to carry and conceal.

- A knife or knife-like object/improvised tool is possibly the most common tool found in our everyday environments at work and at home.
- Local laws do not require a permit to own and carry a small knife

My favorite EDC knives are
The super value Kershaw Volt
The simple and elegant Kershaw Leek
And the ultra light CRKT Minimalist Bowie.
I always keep em concealed as I live in northern NJ and am often in NYC
