What to carry to SFO?

It's a question I wrestle with every time I head down there. Being only 60 or so miles away, I know many of you wish you had my 1st world problem, but it's true.

Keeping in mind you could be having conversations with everyone from like-minded customers and the super nice and knowledgeable SFO staff to Sal, Gail, Eric, Kristi, or the rest of the great folks at Spyderco, what would you carry?

That's the best answer hands down. As far as a knife...given that I haven't ever been there (Yet), probably my oldest Spyderco...trusty FRN Native (The one that shrugged off a 275 foot fall onto gravel...I've told the story in a couple threads).

Probably something that I wanted to compare with another knife I hadn't seen yet.

I would carry a fixed blade...maybe the tanto. And then probably the Tuff or Southard then the techno in a back pocket.

I look forward to visiting SFO some day and trading many dollars for many pretty knives.
So many spydies, not enough pockets.

I'd also carry my my most used Spyderco. The folks at SFO have seen everything new. I'm sure they'd appreciate seeing their knives that have had loving wear. Your safe queen does not have any stories. Your user ______ does. (Fill in the blank with your most used and worn knife). Carry a user for sure.
