Nothing ever! I wear a fanny pack with a cell holder. Cannot imagine pockets full of crap. Plus, people always think Im must be packin cause I am wearing a fanny pack. Those evil eyes turn into smiles.

Yeah... if a guy takes a look at your man-sack and gives you a smile, I'm pretty sure he wants to be looking down an entirely different barrel

Nothing when I'm at home.

But when I'm at work:
Left:
Cell Phone
Keys

Right:
Front Pocket Wallet (Driver License, 1 credit card, 1 bank card, and about $5 in ones)
Work ID Badge
Pen

That's about it. On the weekend I'll typically carry a pocket knife if I'm wearing jeans. If I'm not, I don't since the knife usually weighs the pocket down.

Spyderco Salt has a plastic handle and light steel blade.

Interesting... I've been meaning to get a spyderco knife eventually.

But regardless, what I mean is that, generally if I'm not wearing jeans on the weekend, I'm wearing some of loose fitting shorts or pants where if there's any thing in there heavier than a phone, then it gets annoying.

I used to have a specific pocket knife for that purpose though, but I lost it... The Buck Bantam BBW, and from what I've seen it's comparable in size and weight to the syderco salt.

Edit:
Actually I misspoke... I had the Nano Bantam which is 0.6 oz as opposed to 2 oz. Yea, that thing was tiny, but a great knife in a pinch.
