Apologies - offence unintended
I have two knives and they're both a lot smaller than most of yours!
No bother - no offence taken. Most people are very unfamiliar with pagan customs and tools, so I can see where the confusion over athame use would come from. It's not a problem

I wonder if Religious Purposes counts as 'good reason' for folks like us to carry a pointed bladed object...... It works for Sikhs (although theirs is a token weapon and an Athame is not).
Mind you, I'll admit I'm not Wiccan (I'm a different sort of Pagan)

If you want to be picky about it, I'm not wiccan either - strictly speaking, I'm an ecclectic solitary/hedege/edge!
And I don't see why it shouldn't apply to us, given the rules about an athame being used to draw blood.
As I said, mine is right at the very bottom of my backpack, so it's not what you'd call easy to get to. My leatherman, in a side pocket, is much easier!
OFF TOPIC but we've already gone down this path so:
Druid, Merlin Michael Williams was arrested for going shopping with a sword strapped to his back, he later got the sword back and permission to carry it.
There are many old customs regards to weapons and a couple of sections in the Havamal if memory serves me correct.
If at first you don't succeed, excessive force is usually the answer.

Damit I wrote Pagan on mine, yet Jedi is the closest to religion I'll ever get, only without much of the TK
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
I've opted for leatherman charge. On my belt pretty much every day.
I carry a jack pyke skinning knife in my car bag.
It's small enough and fit for purpose.
If you can't live by yourself - don't hold me back.
