Right Pocket:

Fairphone 4 5G
FiiO BTR5 Bluetooth and USB DAC
KZ ZSN Pro X (sometimes FiiO FH3) IEMs
Black Connex Pocket Knife

Left Pocket:

Pularys Wallet
Victorinox Pocket Knife
Keychain
- FIDO 2 Key with USB-A, USB-C and NFC
- House Key
- USB Flash Drive
- Magnetic USB-A to USB-C Cable
Earplugs

My keychain is attached to a lanyard that I got with my Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2. The keychain can quickly attach and detach from the lanyard.

On my left wrist I have a Withings Steel HR hybrid smart watch and on my right wrist I have a Peak Design Cuff wrist strap which I can quickly attach to my cameras.

I carry this with me all day every day.

I'm a knife guy myself but I have questions. Why two? And why is one in the same pocket as your phone?!

Pill shaped Victorinox SAK blades don't have a lock.

Exactly this. And the Victorinox blade is a lot smaller and sometimes a bigger blade is helpful.

As for the same pocket as my phone thing: It has a clip so I clip it to the side of my pocket and my phone isn't close to it, my pockets are big. The knife winds up on the right side and the phone on the left. There's a good 5cm of space between them

Looks like the Hobby or Funky wallet? How do you like it? I do you have issues with cards sliding out the top even when you aren't using the lever to eject them?

[–] clemens06@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I think it's the Funky and I love it. The lever is buttery smooth and works consistently well. Cards never slide out on accident. Even if I actively try to get them out without the lever by intensely shaking the wallet, it takes a while for one to come out

This would be illegal in Australia of course. You can't carry a knife without reason eg a Chef has a reason.

Just keep it on the down low (knife not visible) if you, like I, do carry one.

In sweden its also illegal to carry without reason but as long as you dont go into public spaces like libraries or someones private property without them giving you permission you can just say you were going camping or something. Idk how it works in australia. The nice part about it in sweden is if you're above 21 you can carry any blade including OTFs and switchblades.

Good thing I'm not from Australia then but good to know. I always carry them hidden anyway because I don't want any attention drawn to them

Same in the UK.
