Everyday Carry, or EDC, generally refers to small items or gadgets worn, carried, or made available in pockets, holsters, or bags on a daily basis to manage common tasks or for use in unexpected situations or emergencies. In a broader sense, it is a lifestyle, discipline, or philosophy of preparedness.

MY EDC right to left…
- Springfield XD .45 (w/thumb safety)
- Uncle Mike’s Clip-in IWB holster (Surprisingly comfortable for a cheap holster)
- SOG Access Card 2.0 (Great Knife, Mediocre Clip)
- UltraFire C3 (Rides in holster, need to replace with something more reliable)
- iPhone 3GS in $5 Incipio Leather case (protects great in front pocket)
- Keys: Leatherman Micra (backup knife) Fenix E01 (Backup Light)
- Basic Wallet with minimum of CC’s and cash.
Editor’s Note: First of all, thanks for sharing what holster you use — a lot of my readers complain that other contributors tend to overlook that piece of gear. I like how you opt for a backup light and multitool on your keychain, that’s a great spot to put them, and you’ve picked very reliable items that serve that purpose. As for your primary light, I echo your sentiment that you could use a more reliable brand. Luckily, there are plenty of options out there. I like Fenix, EagleTac and 4sevens personally, as they put out some high quality, fairly affordable lights for EDC. Beautiful wear on that SOG, nice to see it getting use (I wouldn’t be surprised, I love the action on it and if I had one I’d use it plenty). Good job keeping the wallet slim and minimal too. Overall, you’ve got a strong carry. Thanks for sharing!

This is what I have in my pockets today:
*Samsung Galaxy GT-I9000
*Fossil tan bi-fold wallet
*Spyderco Dragonfly VG10
*Marcello C Nettuno 3 watch on a Shell Cordovan nr. 8 leather NATO strap
*Zippo lighterI recently repaired my Olympus DSLR and even though I have yet to learn how to use it properly, I hope this picture is a bit closer to the high standard of the great submissions on your blog.
Editor’s Note: Nice carry here — albeit even more minimal than most (no keyring?). The Dfly is a nice little EDC knife, I love the blade shape on it. I don’t see leather NATO straps very often, but the pairing of the cordovan and that dark green bezel is awesome! That finish on your Zippo looks great too. I’ll assume your smartphone has an LED flashlight in it, otherwise a light could help round out the rest of your carry. Thanks for sharing!

Hello Bernard!
I love your blog, and your personal efficient take on EDC. Over the past couple years I have spent hours perusing your archives, and have found out about a lot of great gadgets thanks to you.
I am a 24 year old blue collar kid from Colorado. I have been putting myself through school and am finally about to get my undergraduate in philosophy from the University of Colorado Boulder. I have been collecting knives, flashlights, and fun things since the ripe old age of 6, and have worked very hard for almost every piece in my collection.
Here are a few things that I carry on a regular basis, albeit not all at once :)
-Muyshondt Aeon from Enrique’s last neutral tint run
-McGizmo Sundrop 3S
-Mac’s Customs Copper Tri EDC in neutral.
-Mike Alsdorf custom slipjoint
-Chris English Z automatic
-Spyderco Caly 3
-Chris Reeve large regular Sebenza and sheath made by my uncle
-Handkerchief that I found in my grandma’s house when we moved her out.
-Makr Carry Goods wallet
-MiNI CR2 from the original warm run with a great super warm tint (~3000k) and an orange cadet attached to a split ring with McGizmo clips. I usually have a car key on here too.
-keys
-phone
-not pictured: notepad, pen, or chapstickThanks!

Editor’s Note: Hi Ben, thanks for the kind words. Lovely collection you’ve got! I see you have discerning taste when it comes to flashlights — great variety of options, and it’s nice to see some love for warmer tints. For most EDCers, I would say color rendition isn’t critically important, but it sure does make real life usage more pleasing, in my opinion anyway. I also like the variety in your knives’ blade lengths, lock types, handle material, styling, and so on. You can’t really go wrong with those. The Mini CR2 x Alox Cadet pairing is great too. I personally find a highly efficient twisty light and a SAK make a great backup system, and you’ve got just that plus some cordage for retrieval and grip retention. Lastly, that wallet looks great — although if I had one, I’d probably experiment with using it as a small gear pouch. Thanks for sharing your collection of high quality, eclectic gear. From a recent graduate myself, congrats on finishing your undergrad! Work hard and save often.
Editor’s Note: Hi everyone, I’ll be going to the Philippines for a couple of weeks to address some family matters and I am not sure of the internet situation yet, so I apologize in advance if the posting frequency on the site becomes less consistent. To try to make it up to you, here’s a little shot of what I’ll likely be carrying overseas:
- Polarized sunglasses
- Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ w/ 32gb microSD
- Playing Cards
- Microfiber towel (for phone, gadgets, glasses and intense perspiration)
- Headporter Hip Pack
- 4sevens Quark 123 Ti
- iPhone 4S anti-theft device
- Pilot Birdy Mini SS and SS Sharpie
- My attempt at a paleo trail mix
- Victorinox Super Tinker with 550 lanyard (should cover all the tools I need)
- Seiko SNN215 on Grey NATO (Adjustable strap in case I swell up from the heat and/or consumption of rice)
- USB to mini USB, spare CR123a battery, SS peanut lighter
- Handkerchief (I’ve been told it’s hot in the Philippines)
- iPhone charger (I’ll pick up a universal adapter when I land)
- Shure SE530 custom remolds, vintage leather belt pouch
I’d likely be carrying this pack with my camera, or inside of my RUSH 24. My RUSH24 will keep a compact spare change of clothes, a compact umbrella, my laptop and charger, a book, and so on… I’d prefer to have a less “tactical” look and a more fobby asian look just to blend in better I guess! I don’t anticipate needing too much gear as I’ll be in the city, and as I’m not sure of the knife laws exactly, I’ll play it safe with a SAK.
Anyway, thanks for looking. If I see cool gear during my travels, it’ll likely end up on @carrygram!

First off, really like the site. Perhaps similar to others, I have a slight pre-occupation with little gadgets, and an awareness of the objects I carry with me on a daily basis. I found your site while looking to replace the LED Lenser K3 on my keys, and have since then lost a substantial amount of time trawling through previous submissions. Anyway, I finally decided to photograph my EDC, but have also included those objects I carry on my person on a daily basis while at work (UK Paramedic). Thanks for the site, and keep up the good work.
The lower row is my ‘true’ daily carry, from left to right:
- iPhone4 with slim black hi-gloss rubber case (micro-fibre cloth carried between case and back of phone).
- Freecom 16GB USB databar
- Papermate ComfortMate Ultra 1.0M black
- Moleskine diary
- Old Solo watch I found in an antiques market
- Keys, with 4sevens Quark MiniX 123, Gerber Shard, and Leatherman Style
- Leather Wallet, which I’d like to replace, but can’t find anything I truly like.
Upper Row is my additional carry when at work. Left to right:
- TuffCut Shears with lanyard on handle - to secure safely in pocket (looped over earpieces of stethoscope) as I’ve lost countless pairs.
- Casio F-91W. This replaces my wristwatch and sits on my belt (“naked” from elbow down policy at work). It’s bum-basic, easy to disinfect and cheap to replace.
- Peli VersaBrite 3. Clips onto loops on my shirt/fleece – really useful for leaving my hands free for completing paperwork/or not falling down steps at night with poor lighting and hands full.
- Leather belt radio clip.
- iPhone FM radio transmitter. Allows me to play my iPod via the ambulance radio.
- Pen torch (for pupillary responses)…as no one likes 100 lumens in the face.
- Fenix LD10 R5. Love it, although have contemplated replacing with a CR123 battery powered torch, but AA’s are supplied free at work.
- SAK Spartan, endlessly useful.
- Littmann Classic II SE stethoscope.
Editor’s Note: Hi Matt, thanks for the kind words, and for sharing a carry unique to you profession for us to enjoy. Your “true” EDC is set up just fine — Fairly minimal, good utility on your keychain and you managed to do it despite the more strict UK knife laws. Your work carry is especially interesting and refreshing to see! The retrieval cordage on your shears is very clever and looks like it would work great to quickly let you get to work, which is important in your profession as a paramedic. The LD10 should stay in your carry if you love it and batteries are free, in my opinion. Some CR123 lights are much brighter but these days you can even get away with something like the EagleTac D25A clicky, which is very compact and bright for a 1xAA light. Otherwise, everything looks great. The one thing that struck me was that you didn’t include a ‘rescue tool,’ with a glass breaker, seatbelt cutter and so on, but if those aren’t necessary in your line of work, forgive me. Thanks for sharing!

Usual workday carry.
- Moleskine
- Caran D’ache pen
- Keys w/ sak, atwood tool, and lumintop worm light
- Wallet
- Citizen watch
- iPhone4 in Saddleback case
- Emerson Mini A-100
Editor’s Note: Very nice, I especially like your keychain setup with the SAK, Atwood and Lumintop. That’s some great versatility and utility in a streamlined package. The little gate clip with your car keys lets you detach your main tools when in use and alleviates strain on your ignition. The Caran d’Ache pen is beautiful, and I like that you carry a notebook to use it with (I see a lot of ‘one or the other’ for some reason). Lastly, the Mini A-100 is one of those rare successful combinations of clean looks, rugged and tactical qualities, and a useful blade shape, making it a great EDC blade. Thanks for sharing!
REFRACTORY carbon fiber rings
A few years ago, when this blog barely had a registered domain name, I experimented with expanding the site’s content and changing its direction in an attempt to be more helpful to my readers, straying away from a sort of personal mood board of EDC items I liked by commenting on submitted EDCs. One of the first contributors I had to the site, Kent Willert, aka wiseform, helped me get started by submitting a few pocket dumps of his own for me to publish. Recently, Kent has been putting out some fantastic, hand-crafted carbon fiber rings from his Arizona-based company, refractory. He graciously sent me one of his products asking for an honest review, so I’ll run you guys through my thoughts on the ring in hopes to help Kent out like he helped me when I started.
The inspiration for the refractory carbon fiber rings came out of necessity — Kent, like many EDCers, works with his hands and often found that traditional rings and wedding bands couldn’t withstand the abuse. After months of research, development, testing and refinement, his efforts culminated in a durable, lightweight, and exotic alternative.
The rings come in different widths and finishes, offering a variety of options to get a ring that works for you and your style. I opted for the thinner 6mm band (I have small hands) in the “wood-like” grain, shown above. It’s a beautifully organic-looking intermediate between Kent’s other offerings, linear (similar to brushed metal) and damascus (sporting wispy, wavy patterns). The carbon fiber material gives an overall matte black appearance, with the slightest sheen in the right lighting. It’s reminiscent of PVD coating or black titanium, making the ring assimilate easily into carries opting for that subdued, understated, all-black-everything aesthetic.
The ring uses a “comfort fit” design, allowing the wearer to slide it on effortlessly and wear it hard with confidence that it’ll stay on. Despite weighing in at only 2.05g for my particular unit, it hasn’t come loose, nor has it become uncomfortable during everyday activity. While Kent stands by his carbon fiber rings to withstand abuse from impact, heat, and even chemical sources, he included with the ring some maintenance tips and Scotchbrite pads to clean up the ring (of course, though, he can repair or replace rings per “reasonable request”). I have been wearing the ring for a week and have no doubt that this ring is as tough as advertised.
Depending on the style you get and which finger you wear the ring on, it doesn’t seem to hinder my grip or use of any EDC gear. This can probably be attributed to a combination of comfort, light weight, a slim profile and simple design. I appreciate how I don’t have to baby the ring as much as I would say, my watch bracelet or something, to maintain a pristine finish.
To be honest, though, I was skeptical at first — I had never worn a ring before, and while I thought these rings looked pretty tight, I figured I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. After only a few days of wear, though, I feel a ring like this could be easily incorporated into my EDC for a long time. It feels as natural and effortless to wear as my watch, and I feel “naked” without it now.
I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by this ring, and I would recommend it to anyone from married EDCers looking for a more durable, lightweight and lower profile wedding band to the more sartorially inclined (I didn’t forget about you guys either) looking to add some sophisticated accessories to their carry (be sure to check out my buddy NiCo’s review for his thoughts). With pre-fabbed hand-crafted configurations starting at $165 to fully customized rings at $345, these rings are also a fairly affordable option compared to other precious metals. If that seems a bit steep, be sure to Like them on Facebook for additional savings, and remember that the quality is there and worth every penny.

- Citizen “Ecozilla”
- Spyderco Paramilitary 2 my best Spyderco
- Saddleback Wallet like a Tank
- iphone 4
- Keys with 4sevens 123mini, Atwood Prybaby G5 and a P7 Clip
As simple as possible. Sometimes I add an Embassy Pen. Thanks and keep up the good work on your awesome blog.
Editor’s Note: Hi there, thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I appreciate the “minimal ruggedness” of your carry. Simple, tanky designs seem to be the theme here, as evidenced by the Para 2 and its solid compression lock, a simple leather bifold, a one piece multitool, a single cell twisty light, and so on. It’s hard to see in your photo but good choice with the P7 suspension clip to pocket tuck your keys since you didn’t opt to go the carabiner/gate clip route. I would just suggest to change the split ring on the Mini123, they’re very weak in my experience (lost a light because of it). Good stuff there, thanks for sharing!

My Titan EDC
- Strider SnG DGG-T
- Mcgizmo Haiku
- Render K Pen
- USN Challenge Coin
- Anso Titanium Carabiner
- Voc Money/CC Holder
Editor’s Note: Not much to say about this carry other than that it’s safe to say you’ve made a lot of other readers pretty jealous. For many, the Strider and McGizmo are familiar items… but to less initiated, I should mention these tools are top notch quality and sought after by many. I haven’t seen many pics of the Render K kickstarter pen, my first impression is that the shape looks a little strange but at least it’s not overly tactical. And the Anso carabiner is awesome (if not overkill) with that rugged design, nice size, and sturdy materials to ensure your keys are secure. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy reading your blog and getting to see how diverse everyones load out is. So here is currently what I usually have on me. -Dan
- 32oz Nalgene bottle(I drink at least one every day)
- Keys w/gerber shard(would love an atwood and toying with the idea of a second light on the keys)
- Citizen BM6400 on NATO strap (cheap durable and easy to read)
- Slimmy Wallet
- iPhone 4
- Spyderco Sage 2 Titanium
- 4sevens Preon 2
- Shure e2c IEMs (I intend to replace these with custom molded IEMs soon)
Editor’s Note: Hey Dan, I appreciate your support. Let’s take a look at your EDC… It’s good to see that you keep a bottle, hydration is really important for daily health, and having water could save your life one day, actually. I just wonder how you carry something like that. As for your keychain, some Atwoods would definitely add different functionalities but also keep an eye out on Leatherman, word on the street is that they acquired PocketToolX and should have some more affordable keychain one piece multitool offerings to consider. A second light is not a bad idea either, considering your main light is a little long — a small twisty light should complement it well (if you like 4sevens, maybe a Mini CR2 if you can manage the bulk). But in its current configuration, your keychain seems lightweight enough to handle everything on that non-locking carabiner, assuming you pocket tuck it. Good choice of watch, you bring up a good point about it being easy to read. Arabic numerals would help out with that considering the small case diameter. Your knife is a great EDC, not too large with a nice blade shape, excellent materials and lock. And yes, e2cs are a little dated but I see you’re in the market to upgrade. Nice carry over all and thanks for sharing.

Ever since a buddy of mine came home from Gunsite with a Spyderco and a Surefire - sometime around ‘92 - I’ve been EDC’ing. And finally I have a selection that
actually worksI can manage to carry around each and every day. So:
- iPhone… Good for everything except calling people
- Keys, various. The ragged Ladybug now sports a chisel point. She’ll be replaced eventually.
- Wallet - as I’m in the #1 cashless country, I seldom - if ever - carry cash. For good or bad. Hence the credit-cards-only kind of thing.
- Zebralight H51. He. Hehehe… This thing is simply silly. 200 lumen from a AA battery. Nuff said
- HAK - the cheapest (440 steel) available, but with some ninja sharpening, it gets to hairpopping sharp.
- Snus! FTW! As long as the Brussels-tribe will let us have it…
And there you have it - nothing fancy and no SAK. I’ve messed around with all kinds of multitools in the past and it turns out (empirically/statistically) that, for me, it’s not worth the effort.
Editor’s Note: Pretty interesting carry here… I wouldn’t expect a hideaway knife to be paired with something less tactical like a Zebralight, to be honest. However, it still totally works, and I’m glad you’ve found a configuration that you like. It’s all fairly minimal, right down to the wallet. You could probably go even slimmer with those cards if you used a clip, but at the cost of easy organization. The choice of knives in your EDC — a more tactical, self-defense type fixed blade and a relatively innocuous looking keychain folder complement each other well and serve different purposes, so I like that setup. The Zebralight is a less common option for many EDCers but in my opinion, without good reason. The specs on those lights especially for their size made them very impressive when they first came out. They still stand out as some of the best headlamps around, and are just overall a nice alternative to look for in a light if you’re not looking for something very “conventional” in a light. Nice setup. Thanks for sharing!

• Rolex 5513 Gilt Explorer dial. My all time favorite timepiece. Typically on my TAD khaki NATO strap.
• Vintage brass money clip. This clip has an unusually nice shape with a very long backside. It was originally pulled from a leather wallet/clip combo. I lost this once on the train and it was impossible to find a perfect replacement. So lucky I got it back.
• JH Audio JH16 Pro. The nicest sounding ear monitors I’ve ever tried. Case is a black snap case originally sold with Jabra JX-10 bluetooth headsets. I fell so head-over-heels for this case that I’ll often buy an old NIB headset on eBay just for the case and throw/give away the headset. It’s double layerd, rough texture on the outside that keeps it from moving around in your pocket and nylon on the inside which keeps it water resistant. I’ve used this one for a few years and it wears in beautifully over time. Snaps open and shut by squeezing the edges.
• Hinderer XM-18 3” Generation II w/ Brown Micarta scale.
• LiteFlux LF2XT modified by Steve Ku with Berillium Copper replacement body, Moddoo clip, neutral XP-G & yellow trit. LiteFlux stopped making lights awhile back and I can’t figure out why. The LF2XT is the nicest EDC light I’ve ever come across. The UI is great, first press turns on moonlight mode with momentary high available by holding the switch down. AAA cells are also plentiful and easy to find.
• iPhone 4S w/ Titanium Raw Armor replacement back from Más Elements & leather slip case from Makr Carry Goods. The leather case protects the phone well against other pocket items and the titanium back is great for just throwing it down anywhere while using it and not worrying about cracking the back.
Now shown: Keys & wedding ring.
Editor’s Note: Really awesome carry there, but obviously all of that comes with a price… It’s hard to make a recommendation here as it’s clear you know your gear, so instead I’d rather highlight parts of your carry. I like how you’re able to blend vintage and tech gear but keep it minimal and functionally cohesive. There’s very little overlap, and each piece does its job very well (if not the best in its class) and takes up little pocket space. The JH16 Pros are probably the best portable hi-fi IEM solution, the modded LF2XT offers a fantastic UI as you already mentioned in an elegant, sleek package, Hinderer knives can take tons of abuse, the Rolex is classic, and even your phone is well protected with high quality materials. I also like that IEM case.. it seems like a convenient way to carry, protect and access something that doesn’t generally carry well in a pocket. Overall, a carry like this isn’t necessarily what people should strive for (more expensive doesn’t always mean better, depending on your situation and all), but it’s a good example of how you can invest in your EDC to achieve performance and durability in a completely useable system. I would be very satisfied to carry this exact setup. Thanks for sharing.

My modest carry -
iPhone in a Power Support case
Makr slim flap wallet
Kaweco fountain pen
The Hill-Side floral discharge handkerchief
Kershaw Japanese-made VG10 on a custom leather/brass retrieval I made
Hamilton King Scuba - automatic and swiss made on a maratac strap.Everything (besides the iPhone) is made in Japan, the USA, Germany or Switzerland. I’m a fan of quality goods. I also have a Japanese kaijin hook for my keys. Keep up the great blog.
Editor’s Note: Here’s a very handsome carry that doesn’t seem like much out of the ordinary, but actually features some high quality gear. I like the retrieval lanyard for your otherwise clipless Kershaw — both for its functionality and the nice choice of leather and brass that lends well to the rest of your carry’s “aesthetic,” so good job with that. I like your auto for EDC, it makes sense to go with an auto if you’ll keep it on your wrist every day. While I like the Kaweco fountain pen line and have a few myself, I personally don’t think they’re ideal for heavier duty EDC. It sort of sits in your pocket without a pocket clip for easy retrieval, it’s a little slower to start writing with considering you need to unscrew the cap and put the loose cap away, the plastic body might crack, ink might leak, etc. But in the context of this carry, I can see it working just fine. Maybe a small notebook would synergize with your pen (Field Notes, Moleskine etc) and round out this carry. Thanks for sharing — I’m sure EDCers looking to put together a “gentleman’s carry” could draw some cues from this.

I really enjoy reading your blog for a while. It is time for my first contribution. Today i would like to send you my “non-Business” EDC (when I don’t meet clients or on weekends). There is some knife rotation of course. For this picture I have chosen to include a “heavy duty user”.
- Zero Tolerance ZT300
- Surefire E1B Backup (110 Lumen Version)
- iPhone 3GS
- TAD Gear Folding Titanium Spork 2.0
- Luminox 3051 Blackout Watch
- Moleskine Notebook with DIY Pen Loop & MUJI Pencil
- TUMI Wallet
- CRKT TAO Pen
- Countycomm Micro Widgy Prybar
Editor’s Note: Hi Peter, I’m glad you enjoy the site. I like that your carry includes some high quality gear that might be less familiar to some. The ZT, SureFire, Luminox and TAD are all rugged pieces of gear and are very coherent together in this carry. I’m actually kind of jealous of your Ti folding spork (and I’m not sure why!). You did a good job with that DIY pen loop too. It looks simple enough, something like duct tape right? That could also serve as a way to carry some extra duct tape if you’re in a pinch, I would imagine. Lastly, I’ve always wondered how well a micro prybar would work, given its size… but I suppose in your carry it also works as a way to carry some cordage or perhaps as a high-visibility keychain option as well. Thanks for sharing!

Great site, always finding new things I want. This is my current Everyday Carry, sometimes I switch out the watch. I work as a Display Artist and carry a Scout Book sometimes (not pictured), I’ve been looking for a nice, simple, metal pen to accompany the notebook. Any suggestions?
- Chester Mox Wallet- Keys w/ Carabiner- Braun BN-32- Motorola Droid Razr- Vintage Handkerchief- Kershaw Leek- Jack Black Lip Balm
Editor’s Note: Hi Alex, I would say some safe choices for a metal pen to carry would be a Zebra F-701, which is a sturdy, full-sized pen of metal construction with a pocket clip and rugged body. For a notebook of that size, you might find the Pilot Birdy Mini Stainless Steel Pen [reviewed here] to be a good companion. To comment a bit on the rest of your carry, I like how much of it is very slim and streamlined. I actually prefer the Jack Black lip balm myself — tube balms tend to not unscrew/lose caps/mush up in your pocket as much as traditional sticks. The Leek is a solid everyday user knife without taking up too much pocket space. Vintage handkerchief and Braun watch look cool. As for your wallet, I am partial to its design myself (I have a similar one by Corter Leather) as it’s fairly minimal, but word on the street is that Chester Mox copied some MAKR Carry Goods designs… Lastly, of course it couldn’t hurt to add a small flashlight to your keychain, so long as you keep it lightweight that carabiner should retain everything just fine.
