Rockin and Rollin....
We went to tour Hoover Dam, and right there big as can be, said no weapons/knives/guns/whatever..
You had to go through a metal detector... before I got to it, I pulled mine out, and asked them if they could keep it there and I would pick it up on the way out. (We were on a tour, and the hummer left until we were done)
The park ranger took it, looked it a second, looked at me, handed it back and said just don't let anyone see it..
mmmmmm... theatre at it's finest...

Usually have three or four in my pockets and satchel. Puma, Gerber (real), Victorinox, Schrade, Craftsman, Boker, Browning, etc.
Pix here somewhere.
Once did a gallery installation where I stuck every blade I owned into the wall (from pocket knives to steak knives to Xacto knives to filet knives). Seems there were about 146 of the suckers quivering under the gallery lights.

I've used the metal saw on my Victorinox Old Timer to cut the hasp on two locks... but not quickly.

I carry a Boker AK74 http://www.bladehq.com/item--Boker-Kalashnikov--105 at work or a Spyderco Endura which I've had since the 1990's. Outside of work I usually carry a Bob Lum Encounter Fixed blade concealed http://japansteel.ru/index.php?productID=717
These get rotated, among others.
Ah, the elusive Tekna Xtra Edge. I've got one of those.

I am never without my pocket knife. Well, except at airports but I always carry one otherwise.

Currently carrying a Benchmade Nagara. Real stunner in blue titanium and polished stainless. And it's from their Chinese line, so I don't feel too bad carrying it, even though it still wasn't cheap.

For a looong time(2000-2010), I carried a Kershaw Wild Wild Turkey. Another good looking, titanium-handled folder. I eventually picked up the G10 version and one of the recent re-releases of that one as well.
The blade of the Wild Wild Turkey's been sharpened so much, it's significantly smaller than it was. I emailed Kershaw to see if a replace blade could be bought. Their reply was they were long out of stock, but if I sent in the knife, they'd replace it with anything in their current catalog, up to the original value of my knife, no charge. Their customer service is second to none.

I have the "Worlds Most Expensive" Victorinox Climber..... Only cost $35.00 new but after mailing it to myself at five separate airports because I had forgotten it was in my pocket, the price just soared!

My last flight, as I waited in the screening line, I realized I had one of my favorite Pumas in my pocket. I saw a place that might go un-noticed in the buffer zone between security zones, and I put it in the "out of the way" location just before the I got to the x-ray machines. I was able to retrieve it the next day.
