What do you carry and how do you carry it?

These go in my pants:

iPhone 6 Plus with Apple Leather Case
Cartier wallet that is too thick, looking for something thinner.
And
Keys.

Sometimes a Square contactless and chip card reader to use with my business if I have clients that day.
 
Shoot, I'll play.

iPhone 5S
iPod Touch 6th Gen... that actually bent in my pocket. Still works perfect, but yeah.
Wallet
Knife
House keys, P.O Box key, and keys to my truck and car.

If I'm going somewhere and I know I'm going to need to do either some work, or playing LoL with some friends, then my 2010 MacBook goes with.

@saberahul why do you carry a knife? I've never thought of carrying one excuse my ignorance

Cutting packages, somewhat using it as a prybar for opening things, opening food items, occasionally using it for cooking purposes, the list goes on. For me the main focus is around cooking with my folder. As for my multitool (which also has a knife, but mostly useless), it's main use comes in when I have to open a beer bottle, screw some things, light a fire (good for winter time), or strip wires (been a while since I did this, but I did a lot of robotics and electrical engineering in the past).

There are probably at least 20 completely unique reasons to carry a pocket folder. Do a youtube search, I'm sure you'll come up with a list of 100's of use cases.
 
Nice EDC.

I was looking at the Maxpedition Sabercat but you have a nice set up.

Not much has changed since I took this a couple years ago, except I have a new wallet, new iPhone 6s and a lot more keys thanks to work. Oh, and I occasionally carry a G42 rather than the 26.
 
Wallet and keys in one pocket, iPhone 5 in the other.

Into an old but awesome Dell leather briefcase goes my 12" PowerBook, papers to be graded, my rosters and seating charts, my 6G iPod nano and some headphones, and usually a snack or two with a bottle of water. All together it gets me through each and every school day :)
 
Timbuk2 Commuter. It can carry multiple combinations of 15" rMBP and iPad Air 2 plus a pair of full size headphones and a Canon 5D3 with one lens mounted and another lens in a pouch.

Then I have the bellroy carry out inside with the carry out part in my pocket with my phone.

I carry my briefcase everyday (not the duffel).

Always has my:
Work laptop and charger
Wallet
Phone
Lunch
Notepad
Numeric keypad
Can't think of anything else
 


Pocketable, but I carry the Fix It Sticks in a pouch with 1/4" bits, and the pouch goes in my laptop bag. Or I can just carry the Fix It Sticks in my pocket with the four bits I think are the most applicable.
 


The back one is my go to work the front is at home that's with my wallet and keys

because I cut off the end of my dominant hands thumb so all I own is autos. I've had Sabenza's, Umnumzaan, and I do still have an Inkosi that my wife glomed onto then gave to my FIL
 
I don't get all the people who carry knives around. There are other things much more useful: good gaffer tape and WD40 come to mind. There are even much more useful things than a plain knife: a Leatherman Micra or a Gerber Dime, for instance, are much smaller and have pliers. How often do you need a 3"+ non serrated blade?

I carry gaffer tape, CLP, a Leatherman , and flashlight in my bag...

if we were to exlplode my bag you'd see those things as well as a MBP my Latitude, power cords for both. MDP to DVI, VGA, and HDMI. Express card to serial and parallel and two USB to SATA adaptors.

I no kidding use my knife 20 times a day whether it's taking plastic off foam core or pulling targets in the shoot house my knife is more useful than any other thing I own save for my computer.

When I worked in retail we would get 10-20 boxes in a day. I always had a knife with me at work. I didn't need a multi tool.
