Work-from-home carry sounds like a joke until you look at what people actually post. The r/EDC thread with that title is a compact illustration of a genuine shift: when the commute disappears, so does most of the reason to carry a full complement of gear.
The classic office carry is built around transition. You leave a house, you arrive somewhere, you may need a light for a stairwell, a knife for a parcel, a pen for something that has to be signed. Strip out the commute and the transitions, and the carry collapses to a knife on a desk and a light within reach. That is what most of these posts show, and it is why they tend to look sparse next to a work carry.
What does not change is the reason people keep a knife nearby at home. Deliveries still arrive, packaging still needs opening, and a desk drawer knife gets used more often than a pocket knife ever did at an office. The genre has quietly become the most honest version of everyday carry: no audience, no dress code, just the tools that got picked up during the day.
There is a buying lesson in it too. The knives that survive a work-from-home rotation are usually the ones with good ergonomics and easy maintenance, because they get used for small tasks constantly rather than carried for occasional ones. A knife that is annoying to open stops being used when there is no ritual around carrying it.
The genre also exposes how much of a normal carry is social. A pocket clip exists partly so other people can see what you are carrying, and a watch or a pen at a desk serves a similar function in an office. Remove the audience and the objects that remain are the ones with a job.
Verdict: if your carry has shrunk since you started working from home, that is not a sign you lost interest. It is a sign the tools are doing their actual job.
