A Case Texas toothpick in my right pocket and chapstick in my left pocket.
I knew I was forgetting something! The keychain on the house keys (i.e. not the ring with the bullet) has a little leather pouch for my picks. I only carry my pocket watch anymore if I'm wearing a vest, but it has my great-grandfather's fob on it, which is a very large (nearly an inch across) Apache tear.oh....and various guitar picks just in case I run into an impromptu jam session.
I am female and always follow Gibb's Rule #9 - never go anywhere without a knife. I used to live near the late great Bill Moran - he'd sharpen my knife for me. If you don't know who Bill Moran was, google him and see some of his work. He had a few personality issues as far as I'm concerned, but he may have been the best knife maker the country has ever known.
I carry my keys, many keys, my college ring on a carabiner, a bottle opener, and a tiny dragon made of pewter - my hometown team's mascot. The bottle opener comes in handy at times. I also have a folded two dollar bill that my grandfather gave me years ago.Case - stockman in amber stone.Expired Image Removed

Wenger Giant Swiss Army Knife - 87 implements, 141 functions. My pocket is not big enough to hold it or the money necessary to buy it.

A few reviews from 26 pages of them at Amazon.
-This tool is great, we are an active family and are out and about somewhere every weekend. With this knife we never have to worry about not having the right tool at hand when need presents itself. I almost gave it 5 stars. However, we are a family of 5, and the knife has only 4 cup holders. The constant fighting over the cup holders is pretty unnerving. Hence only 4 stars.
-If you open up all the attachments in the right order and align them at the proper angles, you can actually hold it up to your eye and view the elusive Higgs Boson particle.
-Pros- I bought this knife for the awl. So far the awl has met - and indeed exceeded - my expectations. It has made proper holes in everything I have awled so far. I would buy it again.
Cons - No lanyard hole, and the included awl won't reach around to make one.
-I had it in my hip pocket, then I fell down. When I got up, I was dead. Other than that, it's ok
-I tried to file my nails, but in the process I accidentally fixed a small engine that was near by. Which was nice.
-The telescoping fishing rod was useful. I pulled it out and used it to catch a sailfish enroute to Grand Cayman
-This thing is really big. Dropped it on my foot the day it arrived. As it doesn't have a bone splint attachment, had to go and get more tequila for the pain. Wait a minute- that's why I dropped it on my foot in the first place- hmmmm....
-Can it core a apple?

Private Watkins: I thought I was the only one who did this!
I have for some years carried in my left pocket a good repro Federal Eagle Sack Coat Button. Not so much because it's "Federal" but Confederate Uniforms have been found with them sewn on also. It's a way to touch a reminder of the conflict. I have a great repro Georgia State Button I carry on occasion in place of the Eagle button.
I used to carry a repro Minnie ball, or a .66" cal Round Ball, but those items were heavy! The button(s) work fine!
