what Knife do you carry on duty?

Have two in my car console. Never know when you will have to do an emergency crime, or eat refritos

BTW, an earlier post said the Calif "EMS Agency" (sic) requires caregivers to carry a folding knife. News to me, and CALEMSA is and "Authority", not "Agency".

Cylinder wrench:

$3 plus s/h, 1/2 the thickness of a pocket knife. You could shorten the length if needed.

I carry one of those along with a mini sharpie and our road safety key logger thing on the retractable badge clip where my ID is. I can honestly say I use all three of them constantly, never had a need for a knife though. But a lot of the guys I work with all carry big folding knives, guess it just depends on where you work.
 
Spends a lot of time sharpening

Epic photo FTW
 
Also a great grindhouse flick, machete ftw! *coughs* plus I know some guys at work who would do that if they could >.>
 
I have a cheap chinese Leatherman (poor) imitation, some issued trauma shears, and some sterile scissors. None of it gets much use, but when you need them, you really need them.
 
Re. knife above: read ALL the Amazon comments.

Here's the "Ultimate Swiss Army Knife"...

Oh, "snap".

Here's my original with genuine mammoth tusk handle:

I even named it.
"619".
After my first partner. The one the mammoth got.

What is the name of this tool that way I can order one? I actually think it can be useful. It has the belt/clothes cutter, bottle opener, and an oxygen tank wrench. I have an oxygen tank wrench tool on a knife I bought. But, after I really started to think about it. I don't like the knife portion on it.
 
About $6 at your local feed store and 1/2 inch thick:

Have to get your own sheath. I use a baggie, it's in my trauma kit.This one only has one blade, see if you can get one with two. I've haven't used mine in seven years, 7.25 inch serrated shears ($4, Ace Hardware) work faster and safer and do so much more.

 
Got a nice, simple, stable folder at the moment, but I'm gonna switch to the Fox MPSK Survival Rescue. Among other things, I like it's hooked seatbelt / clothes cutter.

I'm also considering the Victorinox Swiss Army Rescue Tool, I was really surprised to see what they do with it in the presentation video. Problem is, I really hate the color...

I carry a CRKT M16-04 as my "utility" knife, then for work purposes I have the Victorinox rescue tool and a Leatherman is never far off.
 
I carry a "I can not believe its not butter" knife.
 
I promise to strop zooming this thread.

Pun unintended, thank MAC OS 10!
 
I carry a gerber paraframe folder, and a CRKT N.E.C.K. as a boot knife

Just picked up a Paraframe II, it's a great inexpensive folder. I don't really plan on using it on the job though, I have a leatherman in my backpack.
