While I don't go to an office(unless I'm in trouble and am there to see the Big Man :D ) I think a Kiwi is pretty much a perfect fit for that environment as it is small, light an totally unoffensive.
My CF SE harpy hasn't left the pockets of my office dress slacks since I got it two weeks ago. Classy looking and cuts like a demon. Surprisingly sheeple friendly too. People are just attracted to shiny CF I guess. :)
My most used office knife is SS Delica 4 SE. I use it to open boxes, letters, and packages, cut plastic bags, and help with lunch. My second knife is blue Delica4, used for precise cutting, like I had trim small q-tip to get inside 2mm plastic tube to check for contamination. Both of them do terrific job.

My R2 today! :p You gotta let the others know who the big dog is :D
I'm kidding of course. Koppa and the Cricket are what I usually carry. I do take the UKPK from time to time. The Dragonfly is another excelent option. I'd like to see a G10 D-fly with no linners (to keep it light).
I take my D4 whether it's office, traveling, hiking, or whatever. It even goes to choir and church and clips inside my shirt just below the top of my choir robe for easy access.
If anyone has a "question" about me pulling out the D4 for office use, I just pull out my 83mm Manix (which also goes everywhere with me in a belt pouch) and use that for a change. Granted, my office is in a warehouse, so people are used to seeing blades around for different uses. If I worked in a "white collar" setting in a different kind of office, I might get a lot more strange looks, although that has not happened the times that I have worked in those conditions and used a knife.

usually it my Cocobolo Kopa, but since i picked up a black-balded Delica 3, i've been carrying that.

I work in a very "PC", very liberal (in the worst sense of the word) government office. I try to avoid raising too many eyebrows, but have given up on trying not to offend anyone. My regular carries are a Kiwi (one of the over two dozen in my collection), and either a customized Stretch in tan canvas micarta, a customized Atlantic Salt in birdseye maple, or a customized Schempp Persian in desert ironwood. The Kiwi handles the small jobs, allowing me to only use the larger knife when necessary (ever try cutting up a tomato that weighs nearly 2 lbs. with a Kiwi).
But my best office knife, carried only on (thankfully) rare "suit and tie" occasions, is a C27 Jess Horn.
this week it's the Spin.....next will be the Cricket......the byrd SS Finches are very comparable to the SS Jester and I guess everyone thinks they are "cute"....Daywalker's Subcom "biscuit" is a great office carry too! :cool:
This week, I carried the Navigator (almite PL) with the FRN Jester in my pocket.
Not bad, nice feel with good heft and smooth action, sheeple friendly, capable.
Sometimes I want a black clip instead of a shiny one. I carry IWB. Then the old black Calypso JR. is hard to beat. I'd say that would be the best office Spydie, not the fanciest or the sturdiest or the smallest but the Caly jr tends to come out on top so often it's scary :eek: Great design does that, I guess.
Today was my adventura. But I rotate....that the ocelot, Tasman, kiwi,dodo and caly jr or any combo of these.
The people in my office are now used to me having a knife and I have become the go to guy when someone needs some cutting help :D
Waved endura. It didn't go over well. Some one asked for a box cutter so without thinking I pulled it out. He freaked out a bit and said he'd continue looking.
There ain't no rules around here. We're trying to accomplish something.
