In case you haven’t bought it yet.
I used to carry a multi-tool in school and used it quite regularly. I pulled splinters, scraped dried glue and gum from desks, tightened eyeglass screws, pried open battery compartments, fixed wobbly tables, opened cartons of paper that were wrapped with heavy plastic strapping...
I use my Leatherman just about every day, and I go through a utility blade on my Gerber EAB every other week.
I don't think it's reasonable to prohibit students from carrying a tool with a nail file, tweezers, multiple screwdrivers, scissors, pliers, wire cutters, can opener or a saw, simply because that tool also has a piece of metal honed to a fine edge.
For anyone over the age of 8, knife bans are utterly ridiculous.
Gerber EAB Lite
Neat, thanks for the link. Out of curiosity, why something like that instead of, say, a Gerber EAB Lite?
Also, while I'm here, a tool that seems close to OP's that I recently came across is Ron's Utility Knife from Screwpop. Thinking of picking one of those up.
I see this one recommended a lot.
Your second question is really impossible to answer without more details. This is like asking "my car is broken, how do I fix it?"

Your gonna have to learn to use a knife eventually in life. It's not more dangerous then a steak knife. a small cheap one will work fine

If you were to pick up all the pencils in my work area it would most likely be about 60.
I have 15 tape measures spanning from 6 feet to 36 feet.
The only thing I keep on me is this box cutter for marking. I have 3 of them but sometimes I have 7 since I loose and find them so often.
Almost forgot I have a couple dozen rulers
best bang for the buck. seriously
Pretty sure this is not a pocket knife, but a utility knife. The kind that you can replace the blade on. Locking mechanism is likely on the other side. Link of example below

its actually this one i used to carry it and they are awesome.

Here ya go. Opens one handed and locks. Has a clip and can be used as a money clip if you don't want to clip it on your pocket. The blade is replaceable and technically is just a box cutter, so it shouldn't cause too much of a fuss if it's seen. Also, you never have to sharpen it, just pop out the blade and replace! I have one and carry it frequently.
Thank you. Nothing fancy, just a utility knife. I just used the tiles to trace the pattern that I needed and to make sure everything fit. Cuts were made in 2 to 3 passes, the first just barely breaking through the surface to make sure the shape was right.
You might be interested in something like the Gerber EAB or Gerber EAB Lite for that utility blade. Both are pretty nice. Ironically, the EAB is lighter than the EAB Lite.
I tried this one, and had to ditch it after a few days. I kept it clipped in my front pocket, and any time I would bend at the hip, or squat, the tip on the but end would poke right into me. Had to take it out of my pocket when I drove. Albeit, I'm real skinny. I loved the action, but I can't carry it. I keep it in my toolbag now.
I've since replaced it with this Gerber. It doesn't hold any blades, and I had to loosen the pivot to be able to flip it open one handed, but the size is awesome. You can use a coin to loosen the blade when you do need to replace it.
This is a selection of what I keep in my tech go-bag. You'll build your kit as you learn and build experience, or realize you could have helped a customer out of a jam quicker if you had that tool with you.
Various extra parts I've accumulated over the years like screws, ATX Molex Power to SATA Power Adapters, ATX Molex Y splitters, SATA cables etc..
Good luck and some tools overlap like multi tools and pliers so if budget is low, go with the tool that covers the most jobs.
Edit: I noticed your bag is kind of expensive compared to something like a Dewalt tool bag. I use a plain Dewalt bag which is not as cool as the one in the link, but it's just as tough. This might be a good and less expensive consideration for you if you don't require the look of a briefcase for your tool bag.
Edit 2: You may want to mark your tools with a wrap of some crazy bright color electrical tape to be able to recognize them when they walk away.
It's not quite the same but I have something like the Gerber EAB for a small carry and love it. Uses a utility knife blade tho. https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Lite-Pocket-Knife-31-000345/dp/B002RILCLY/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=gerber+folding+knife&qid=1571754968&sr=8-4
I've had this box cutter/ knife for a few years and it has held up very well. Gerber has a lifetime warranty that I will probably never have to use. I've owned many pocket knives but this one is hard to beat for quality. Best part about it is that it's under $8 on Amazon with Free Prime shipping.

I'll have to go with Gerber folding utility knife, this small as possible kind:

The one I have is slightly different with G10 handle, but they don't make it anymore... but I don't think it matters. Couple nice things about this: It is just so small/light and the clip works very well. I can kinda put it near the top of my pocket and I never know its there. And more importantly it takes normal razor blades, so I can buy a 50 pack and every other week or so put in a new blade. This is a huge both because I always have a super sharp blade that makes cutting thing so enjoyable, and because unlike having a fancy knife, I don't worry about treating the blade like crap. I don't care if it dulls. I've got some nice knives and used to carry one all the time but I was so careful with them.

This looks over-budget, but I bought most of the above on sale. Great thread, I added a few things to my wishlist, that's why I'm posting, to keep this going!
I find making the cables to be the nicest looking.
I find the tool kit, cable cutter, knife and combs to be necessary. However you could use scissors instead of the knife and cutter, go without the combs, and use paper clips and small screwdrivers instead of the tool kit.
The paracord has a million options and is very cheap. Buy too much.
If you're really careful, you don't need heatshrink. However if you need it, it's really cheap.
The EAB Lite might be what you're looking for, it's very reasonably priced and allows you to use common utility razor blades that can be easily switched.
I have the Compact Milwaukee and am not a fan; the blade comes loose all the time, especially when doing things like cutting drywall or removing wire insulation. I have used the Fastback Milwaukee though with good results, it’s just a lot bigger and doesn’t feel as good in the hands. I’ve owned 1 of the Compact, 0 of the Fastback.
The Klein pocket knife looking one is garbage for doing actual work with. I’ve owned 1 of these.
I have a SOG Flash 2 w/ serrations that I love but it’s my EDC and doesn’t live in my tool bag. Super sharp and the serrations slice though sheathing like hot butter. I’ve owned 4 of these.
I have a smaller one, a skelotonized Gerber w/ Lenox blades that I love as well. That one does live in my tool bag and is used all the time. The Lenox gold blades are amazing. I’ve owned 1 of these.

Gerber EAB Lite
I love using my utility knife to sharpen my pencils. Inexpensive, easy to carry and you can buy a pack of 50 for 10 bucks.I just got this bad boy and it's working out pretty great.
If you just want the cutting advantages of a ceramic blade, why not get something like the Gerber EAB Lite and put ceramic utility blades in there?
I usually have my multitool with me, but I always have my knife with me. Cheap little handle that fits a utility knife blade in it, best pocket knife I ever had and super cheap if you lose it. Usually grab a pack of 50 blades every 6mo at a hardware store and swap them out every few days. (the clip is worthless, I just snap it off... but the actual knife is great)
I carry a Gerber EAB everywhere with me. If I forget I have it and I'm about to get on a plane, I just unscrew the blade and throw it away!

I have always has a knife but I found I was reluctant to use it sometimes as it would really dull the edge to open boxes. The cheap and easily replaceable blade frees me to use it whenever I like without worry.

I just got one of these and love it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RILCLY/ref=sr_ph_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466747281&sr=sr-1&keywords=knife
To date its my most used knife ever and ive had it all of a week. When the blade is replaceable, theres really no fucks to give about using it whenever a knife could be useful.
hope it helps, fellow "better not use my nice knife to open that x" brother.
https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Lite-Pocket-Knife-31-000345/dp/B002RILCLY. They sell these at Lowes for 8 bucks and they're still kinda cool. I'd say carry BOTH and use that for throats and ne'er-do-wells and a box cutter for boxes.

It's small, light, always sharp, and you can easily remove the clip.
