What do you really NEED EDC for?

What do YOU really need EDC for? Well, you saw the title. Its a simple, but annoying question - taking time to take a hard look at your kit and see if you really need said item.  As fun as it is to have a massive array of the latest gadgets, weight and space constraints soon will rear themselves in objection, and sooner or later you may find yourself leaving pieces of kit behind.  For example, as much as I enjoyed the Mora Eldris, I found that the shear bulk of the small fixed blade was uncomfortable to carry daily, and I loathed taking it around daily in a jean pocket carry.   The Mercator K55K solved literally of my problems with the Mora. I could have avoided this entire situation all together if I had examined my needs before hand. I have boiled this down to some simple, but helpful qualifiers for a new EDC item: 1.) Quality - Will this item stand the test of time, and can I abuse it for years and still have it function properly?  2.) Ahead of t...

The Best Swiss Army Knife: Broken down

 The Victorinox Swiss Army Knife is a staple for EDC. With a single Swiss knife, you get incredible functionality in a small package. Screwdrivers, bottle openers, scissors, an awl...and the list goes on! I have full reviews on the way of some of the more popular models - but this post is a great starting point for adding a Swiss Knife to your EDC. These tools are very well built, have a great warranty, and use a very high quality, soft stainless steel that can take an edge that is literally razor sharp, easily too! An added bonus, a Swiss knife is almost universally seen as non- threatening. Even non- knife people know that a swiss knife is a tool to be used responsibly. This is a wonderful thing, especially when you have to loan your knife to someone else to use. I typically have a swiss knife riding shotgun with a locking folder of some sort, because then you get the best of both worlds!

Mercator K55K: Is this still the best EDC knife of 2022?

At a glance: Steel: C75 Carbon or Stainless Scales: To old for scales. More steel please! Clip: No clip. Seriously old school bail loop Blade length: 3.5" Blade shape: Spear point Locking: Uses unique back lock Overall The Mercator K55K is a fantastic knife. When you get a good one, that is. This is very old, and very unique design from 1867.  Because this knife pattern is 155 years old, it works a little different. Not in a bad way, but in a 'I don't have modern conveniences' kind of way.  As for all EDC products that full reviews are done for on this blog, this knife has been carried for well over 30+ days (probably closer to 6 months on this one, its a personal favorite) to write this review, This longer time span is done to ensure that the product reviews done here are thorough, and well made junk doesn't slide through.  I am an Amazon affiliate, and I may earn a commission through links on this site Now for the review! Blade: The Blade on the K55K is C75 Carbo...
