This is what I actually carried today and its pretty representative of my usual workday gear.
2 Paracord bracelets (honestly, not for shtf but because i think they look cool).
Pack of blue Gauloises blondes.
White Bic maxi lighter without safety (white because you can see how much gas is left).
Cowon iaudio 10 with cheapo Denon earbuds.
Tissues (not part of my usual EDC, but I have a cold).
Some loose change.
Kershaw OD-2.
Fisher bullet space pen.
Keys.
Leatherman squirt PS4.
Mini crowbar.
Wallet (who doesn't like Pulp fiction?).
Used to carry a Foursevens preon P2. But I never actually need a flashlight. So i decided to leave it home instead.
Also used to carry a Spyderco delica to work. But since, like most people, I only use my knife for opening packages and stuff, a small knife is adequate. People aren't as intimidated by it either. Depending on my mood, I now just carry this Kershaw or a Victorinox pioneer.
When I'm not working I usually carry a bigger knife. But I never go really large (I dont believe in the whole self defense crap). I usually opt for Spyderco delica, Benchmade mini griptilian or Esee izula.
