I'll say the Boker Urban Trapper. Cocobolo scales over a titanium handle. VG-10 blade steel, a cut above 440c. It's just so slim and light it disappears in your pocket, and yet you still get a "full length" handle and blade.
Plus it doesn't look like some old fogey's Schrade, GEC, or Case pen knife. I confess I don't have any frontiersman fantasies.

Very nice. I find a lot of Boker designs I like. I have a Kwaiken titanium flipper and love it except it's a little heavy (though not terribly so) and the blade sits hardly covered by the handle so I tend to scratch/cut up the side of my hand reaching into the pocket to grab it because the tip hits the side of my palm.

I still have the original leatherman tool with leather casing.

I keep it in my bag, because wearing it openly at my belt is illegal.
Knives are forbidden to carry openly in most cities in the Netherlands because of local regulations. I just carry it in my locked up tech backpack when going and coming from work.

That's fuckin' awful. I was at the hospital Friday right from work, and they first made me put my two fixed blade knives in my bag, then later, a security chimp made me put my leatherman(same as yours) in my pocket. Security theatre is the best theatre :^S

It is for safety reasons. I do not mind.
It is not even allowed to carry tools that can used for stabbing in public places.
Knives are out of the questions in public places.
I was once picked out by a group of police officers while going home from work. Because i calmly explained the leatherman is work related, i did not get a fine.
Just good advice to keep it away in my closed bag.
