It occurred to me today that people say "that which", as in "That which I am taking to work today" or some such. I've heard it before and I caught myself typing it and thought "waiiiit...you know that really just doesn't sound right."
Am I right in thinking that use of that phrase is grammatically incorrect?

It's correct, but not by itself. The "which" introduces a subordinate clause relative to the "that."
