I keep a very small foldout knife on my keychain: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BAJK7DE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used to carry a larger flip out knife but... flipping something like that open out on the street can attract the wrong type of attention.

This is what I have. Kershaw Cinder knife. It's small, durable, and didn't break my bank. It seems very well built and comes from a reputable company. Kershaw 1025X Cinder Knife, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BAJK7DE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1CykzbBE808BT

Items for outside the classroom

Biggest thing to carry is a bottle opener

Cheap Keychain Bottle Opener

You don't want some expensive bottle opener because you'll be passing it around alot and you might forget to ask for it back

BIC Lighter

Kershaw Cinder

BUT preferably swiss army knife classic
SAK Classic

or the rally with a bottle opener
SAK Rally
you sacrifice scissors for bottle opener

wallet
dont get a bifold wallet those are out of style no (no offense to anyone who still carries them) but a simple slim card holder is alot better and sleek

Things you need in the classroom

Best Red Pens a must for note taking
I wouldn't get the blue one uniball because its a dark blue almost black

So get these instead
BIC blue pen

Most "EDC" notebooks are expensive and offer very little sheets of paper. You could use one as an assignment pad but something with acutal dates is better so once you get your syllabus you can right down all the assignments during the first week.

Note books I would just go to walmart. You can get five subject notebooks for $2 now during their back to school special. Where ever you buy notebooks take advantage and buy for the spring semester because prices are only this cheap in aug/september.

Not your usual edc recommendations but I wasn't rolling in dough early on in my college career and rather let people borrow a cheap pen and let them keep it then stress about getting my pen back when I let the next person borrow it to sign in.

your edc should be what you like to carry and use

It looks like the company copys designs. They've got a Folder that looks strikingly similar to the Kershaw Cinder.

What about a victorinox sak jetsetter? There’s technically no blade but it has scissors and a little tool. I don’t know what you’d use it for normally but you wouldn’t be breaking the rules. I know a lot of teachers who use them everyday and swear buy the scissors being enough for there edc use. Plus it’s cheap AF.

Or maybe a Kershaw cinder? Tiny little keychain knife. I use mine all the time. Still a knife but very small and cheap as hell.
