They make swiss army "knives" that don't have a blade. Some are even allowed on a plane.

I wonder where things like prybars fit into that. At work, knives are discouraged, so I carry a LNW prybar. If I'm being honest it's probably more functional than a knife for the things I do day to day like cutting tape to open a box, or popping tabs or as a flathead to open something. You know, things you really shouldn't be doing with a knife anyways.
I'm investigating a scraper replacement for my leather man for times where an edged blade is not possible.
I've seen replacement blade blanks that look like they would work well.
It's pricy, but have you considered a Big Idea Design Pocket Tool? There is a flat head screwdriver side that is not sharp at all, but can still work as a pry bar or a scraper in a pinch. If you are ok with it, it also comes with a dull insert that is good enough to open packages. The other side is kind of a camp fork that looks a lot less aggressive. Otherwise, just leave the insert at home. You'll still have a flat head screwdriver and a wrench at least. It's designed to take any old notched utility knife blade.
I started carrying mines regularly in places I can't carry around a pocket knife or a multitool with a blade.
