How many of you martial artist have an EDC(everyday carry) self defense weapon? And what are they?

Question

Curious as to what people carry and what options I might missed.

Personally I carry a knife and a pepper spray. Pepper spray for creating an advantage(easier to fight 5 semi blind attackers) rather than to end fights, though if it does end fights without anyone getting hurt that would be nice.

I have carried flashlight(kubotan purpose) and the like, but I found that it's not that much more advantageous compared to what I can do with my empty hand training. So I stopped carrying that kind of small blunt damage tools.

So wondering what other people carry as their go to, and what they stopped carrying because it doesn't work effectively enough to justify the carry.

I carry a sharpie marker, which works nicely as a kubotan. And it is less suspicious then an actually weapon, it can be taken anywhere I go, even on planes (which I travel quite a bit on). 
And has the added bounces of letting me sign my work. lol

You don't fight 5 attackers semi-blind or otherwise. Pepper spray, mace, and such are for self-defense in that you get a chance to RUN. Good luck explaining to a cop or judge that you blinded them and stuck around to fight them and how that is suppose to be self-defense because you were in fear of your life.
