I had posted on a FFF (Front Flipper Friday) that one of my go-to office carry knives was the CJRB Malieah. A great 5th pocket carry that is not worrisome to non-knife people and fits within the 2.5" blade length limit of the city where the company office resides.
I think the CJRB has been replace by the Civivi Baby Banter. At least, it seems to have been for the past 6 ot 7 visits.
The Baby Banter is even less worrisome to non-knife folks (some have said it is “cute” which I’m sure it bristles at).
The knife is my go-to for food slicing at work and (once cleaned) boxes, tape, or as in today: velcro cable straps so I could jerry-rigg a second wireless lavaliere mic receiver to a small video camera.
It’s small and unassuming but has performed really well. If you’re looking for a knife with those properties on the budget side, I highly recommend it.

So about that.
I briefly worked at an auto parts store years and years ago, and one of those inevitable things happened where my boss asked me to borrow my knife. Not thinking, I handed him my Junkyard Dog. This motherfucker proceeded to use it to saw the end off of a cardboard tube of cupronickel brake line. And in the process, sliced off about a 1/8" of the end of a brake line. With my knife.
To its credit, the Junkyard Dog barely flinched and you had to look with magnification to see what he did to the edge. I fixed it easily enough. But I also didn’t lend him any of my nice knives again, either.
