The firearm is set up for legal self-defense. Weapons are always the last resort as my beliefs hold all life as sacred. I would rather walk away than fight, but as the old saying goes, "Si vis Pacem Para Bellum" (seek peace, prepare for war). It carries nicely and...

Vintage and Titanium Everyday Carry
Hey Taylor. I was lucky to get some new EDC toys this Christmas. I tend to view a lot of articles and video on my phone, always at max brightness. The ZeroLemon battery case and Heloideo battery bank help keep me powered throughout the day. I also like the Heloideo's...
Design Engineer’s Everyday Carry
I'm a design engineer in the aircraft field and while I spend most of my day working on CAD, I do frequently need to get my hands dirty in the shop. I use my Leatherman along with a Bit Kit when I need to maintain our 3D printers and assemble some of our projects. I...
Vintage and Handmade Leather Everyday Carry
Hi, I have made myself many items over the years and settled on a small wallet that holds a number of cards and has a space for notes in the middle. The small key ring knife is from India and is battered and beaten. Less is more. 👍 Self-made Leather Snap Wallet...
Leather and Brass Everyday Carry
I was first introduced to the concept of everyday carry through the leatherwork community. So much of what I carry with me on a day to day basis reflects that first love/obsession. I love the workmanship and artistry that went into the leather goods I carry—from the...

A Tiny Everyday Carry with a Secret
This EDC is completely designed to fit on my person. Everything you see here fits in my pockets comfortably. I don’t like a lot of bulk in my pockets and this layout is geared for that. My Olight works well for me because it’s a AAA light with decent power that has a...
Comprehensive and Sentimental Everyday Carry
Aside from the "big 3" (wallet, keys, and phone), my most used tools would have to be my notepad, pen, marker, the Guardian 3, and the Gerber Dime. I got used to carrying this much gear when I was working as a professional mechanic and now I feel naked without all of...
Draftsman’s Titanium Everyday Carry
Being a draftsman for a glazing contractor, the pen and field notes are good for taking notes, jotting down things to do, or anything else you may need a pen a paper for. The knife is used for opening samples from vendors, those pesky clamshell packages from stores,...
Red and Brown Leather Student Everyday Carry
For the most part, this is my daily EDC. First things first, red is the best color out there. And who doesn't like some nice leather? I am a student so things come and go from my rotation depending on what the day is like. I don’t smoke but I carry a small BIC...
A Very Compact Everyday Carry
This is the everyday carry gear that I use the most. The most valuable item for me is the Tag Heuer watch that was given to me by my father 20 years ago. CRKT Pilar Tag Heuer Aquaracer 2000 Olight i3T EOS Copper Victorinox Classic Alox Fisher Space Pen Bullet BIC...
Gray and Black Engineer Everyday Carry
I'm an engineer and tools get me through my day-to-day at work. Living in the UK with a lot of knife laws we have to resort to slip joints, but the Benchmade Proper is the best solution to that as a gentleman's knife. Hex Keyring Dual Carabiner Clip RovyVon Aurora A3...
Student and Uber Driver Everyday Carry
I am a part-time student and part-time Uber driver. I just got married this spring. Living in NYC, I can't legally carry any pocket knife I want, so I’m using the Victorinox Cadet which was a gift from my wife. The pen is a Parker Jotter. I don’t really carry cash...
Green and Copper Everyday Carry
I love myself a cigar, so I keep a punch and Zippo with me often. The Nite Ize has been part of my EDC because I love that it's small and useful. The Kershaw has quickly become one of my favorite EDC knives. The Retro 51 is my favorite pen. Recently, I got the Gerber...

Filipino Filmmaker Everyday Carry
Hi Taylor, I've been a long time fan of yours on the old channel and I've always been shy about submitting my EDC photos but decided to give it a go this time. My name is Carlo, I'm a filmmaker from the Philippines, and this is my EDC. First is my trusty Leatherman...
Truck Driver’s Everyday Carry
I have many watches but this Bulova is one of my favorites. I’m an over the road truck driver and time is very important to me. The Zero Tolerance 0301 does it all -- from cutting boxes, straps, and tape to the occasional mud flap. And when I’ve called it a day, if...
Blackout Everyday Carry
I tend to use my Gerber Dime a lot more vs my Leatherman Skeletool, which says a lot about the tool. I still have a Samsung S7 Edge (not shown in the photo) which I still use for taking photos. I tend to use my iPhone more as an iPod for music and casual mobile...
Australian Photographer Everyday Carry
I use the space pen and pocket knife more than anything at work for taking notes and opening boxes and mail, etc. The rest of the stuff gets used as needed throughout the day. The only thing that's really special is the sunglasses case I made with the elastic wrap...
Dapper Saturday Night Carry
Simple and clean carry on this one. The zippo was a gift many years ago and I always use it when smoking cigars with my buddies. I love the cigar puncher much more than straight cut. Zippo Schrade SCHF57 Fixed Blade Warby Parker Glasses Nite Ize DoohicKey Jack...
