Originally this one. https://www.amazon.com/Higo-Kami-Pocket-Seisakusho-Parkerized/dp/B00EU8ML46/

I’ve bought 8 of them from this seller and have always been satisfied.
Sorry for the shitty link, I’m on mobile

From your posting history I saw you like Japanese stuff, so a Higonokami would be a good choice for you (and it would be legal in most places it is legal to carry a pocket knife).

I'm sure most people know most of these knives but I figured I'd list them anyways.

Ok, you're welcome, well I don't know how flexible you are on the outside appearance of the knife, but you can still get a great folder.

For a super useful performance knife, I really like the Spyderco Pingo

For a cheap knock about knife that is also very useful but you won't be too worried if you break it, lose it, or get it taken by police...I like the Opinel #7

For overall utility, I like a classic Swiss Army Knife.

Then you have a bunch of varied designs that might work for you. The Higo No Kami, the Kabar Dozier, the Spy-DK, the American Classic Case Sodbuster (I recommend the Jr. size).

And you can easily add a clip to any of these.

I carry one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EU8ML46/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That little flipper thing is the thing I use my knife for the most. My office is in an eight-story building, but our floor is like 40% my company, and the rest is other smaller offices/startups. Everyone is connected by the same hallway, shaped like the number 8 (but squared, not round). Anyways.

There are four mens rooms on the floor, each consisting of two sinks, two urinals and two stalls. Personally, I don't like to poop when there's someone in the stall right next to me. On a road trip at a rest stop? Fine, whatever. Not at work. I want to be able to take my time, look at my phone, etc. I don't want to hear the gentle sounds of someone grunting out a loaf next to me during my poop time.

The doors to the stalls lock from the inside, but they have a flush flathead-type thing on the outside of the door, I assume to open the door up if someone ODs or something in there.

I discovered that if I locked the inner stall door from the outside (with the flipper of the knife), then went into the other stall and pooped, people would walk in, assume both stalls were in use (since they could see my feet in the outer stall, and the door to the inner stall was shut/locked), and leave.

I now poop alone, and it's glorious.

I can't find one with that blade pattern, but I was instantly reminded of this. If you like that sort of rat-tang friction folder, there's also something like this.

So you can get the knife off of Amazon is it the same quality?

To get it grey you have to mod it yourself with vinegar but it is very easy.

Just just got mine off Amazon. I have since found a eBay page that seems to sell legit ones and you can select the steel you want and the handle. I plan to buy another off that with blue steel because I'm fairly certain that the ones on Amazon are just sk steel but I cant be sure

Some of these you can get on Amazon for nearly the same price: https://www.amazon.com/Higo-no-Kami/b/ref=w_bl_hsx_s_hi_web_7830667011?ie=UTF8&node=7830667011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Higo+no+Kami

I can't read kanji but it looks to be the same. Steel type isn't listed on Amazon but according to the comments this one is SK and this one is Blue Steel (probably#2).

Mine was fairly cheap, something like this. Though there are a couple people who make much nicer ones.
