Unfortunately all the good brands are sourcing out their cheaper knives. Kershaw, Gerber, you name it. You have to spend more to get the made in USA models, but well worth it in most cases. Although to be fair, China has been getting better and producing decent knives when the parent company is strict enough on quality control.

One of the most important pieces of EDC, is some form of knife or multi-tool. Some carry them for work, but a lot of people now carry them for personal use and "just in case" scenarios. What type of tools are you carrying?

It will do so much for your image as a manager, Jad.
I'm pretty sure it will stop most of your problems there.

Good point. That is one important thing to consider if you decide upon a EDC lifestyle, especially EDG of a gun. First - it is a lifestyle. It is not just something you do once in a while, when you feel like it, it is a commitment. Secondly - especially with a gun, is it is most likely NOT going to be comfortable. That's right, it is probably going to be an inconvenience - to you, with your clothes, with your holsters, etc. EDC will always force you to decide what you're carrying and what clothes you will have to wear to help conceal it. In your case, it will also help you determine if you want to carry an EDC bag. Perhaps you will only want to carry your gun in your purse*, and the rest of your EDC in a dedicated EDC bag. Sure, an extra bag is a pain, but again, this is a choice you are making to be prepared.
Part of the fun then becomes picking out your EDC. If you're trying to keep it small, there are lots of options today for EDC. For example, you might consider products that Swiss+Tech Products - Multi-Purpose Key Ring Tools carry. They have all sizes of multi-tools from micro tools, to small multi-tools, to large multi-tools. Once you think about how you may use a certain tool, then you can go about looking for a small version of a tool that will get the job done.
Some of their various sizes of tools:
Microtools Swiss+Tech Products - Multi-Purpose Key Ring Tools
Small multi-tools Swiss+Tech Products - Multi-Purpose Key Ring Tools
Large Multi-tools Swiss+Tech Products - Multi-Purpose Key Ring Tools
And that is just part of their catalog.
* Carrying your weapon off-body has its own limitations and dangers. Be sure to fully research off-body carry.

Depending on what your goals are, one of the most important tools in your EDC arsenal is a good belt! EDC'ing is all about choices and sacrifices. If you choose to be prepared, are you willing to be inconvenienced, because you will be? It will affect your oomfort, your clothing selection - everything. At the core of EDC is the belt, which for most people will support their gun. It may also support their knife, flashlight, extra ammo, etc. Some will choose to not tuck in their shirt in order to cover their weapon - bye bye fashion statement! It all makes you think.
