RULES Please use the 'Report' feature for any post/comment you feel is in violation of the below rules.

1.) Post a list of your items

When posting pictures of your EDC, please provide a list of items in the comments within one hour of posting; otherwise, your post will be removed.

2.) No Spam

We consider spam to be posts/comments that try to take advantage of the subreddit, automated or otherwise.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Advertising your own products/company/social media

  • Shilling for a third party/Thinly veiled advertising such as "Hope I can get this into other people's hands" or " Items I produce"

  • Affiliate/referral links

You can include items that you make/sell in EDC posts, so long as it includes other items.

The one and only exception to this rule is special deals offered to the members of this sub. Before posting such deals please message the Mod team.

3.) No Incivility

Comments/posts that include name calling, insults, mocking, condescension, gatekeeping, or any other form of incivility towards users or items will be removed. Criticism of an item itself is allowed, but keep it civil.

4.) No Politics

Discussion regarding any political party/ideology/group, even those you agree with, will not be tolerated. Do not debate the politics of a country/state/city, user or of an item they choose to EDC. Posts are allowed to contain political imagery (stickers, flags, patches, etc.) so long as they aren’t the primary focus of the post, and don’t violate Reddit TOS.

5.) No Inappropriate Content

Inappropriate content is content that doesn’t fit the theme of the subreddit. This includes, but is not limited to: content unrelated to EDC, news articles, nudity, and injuries/gore.

6.) No Videos

Video posts are not allowed. They are difficult/time consuming to moderate and often contain advertising.

7.) No Memes

No memes, petitions, screenshots, or clickbait. Satirical EDCs are allowed, so long as it follows the traditional EDC post format.

8.) Meet Minimum Posting Requirements

In order to post or comment, an account must be at least 48 hours old and have a minimum of 50 Karma. This is to prevent spam. Please do not message the mods asking for your post to be approved. Be patient and repost/comment once your account has met these requirements.

9.) Do not ask why someone carries a knife or a gun

Please read the FAQ before asking why someone carries a knife or a gun. These questions are often asked dishonestly, and this rule exists to discourage political debate stemming from loaded questions.

10) Do not give unasked for advice regarding firearms or knives, or ask why they aren't carried.

Do not give unasked for advice regarding purchasing or carrying firearms or knives.

Do not ask users why they don't carry.

Both of these actions are the flip side of not asking why they are carried. Doing so serves no good purpose and pushes users who choose not to carry such items into justifying their choice, or explaining the fact that laws are not the same everywhere.

Can we do better?

So my dad sent me this product as something he would like for Christmas. I'm wondering if we can do better on a larger budget and am looking for some recommendations. What could we do with a budget closer to $100 -$150 range? Knife and Flashlight would be the main focus but ideally I would like to get a 1:1 for some of the more useful stuff. And before anyone mentions it, he absolutely would not mind the substitution gift, he's not really picky like that.

Need help decideing on pocket organzer doubling as a wallet vs having a separate one?

I've been thinking about getting a pocket organizer as i keep fumbling getting stuff out between wallet, keys, pen, knife and sometimes earbuds out of my right pocket.

An organizer that can also hold cards and cash is very appealing, but im not sure i want to pull out the whole assemblage when i just need to pay for some mcnuggets.

Anyone have any pros, cons and advice that could help me decide?

Is there such a thing as to many blades??

So I know this probably won't be taken seriously but it's a serious question. So my new travax wallet doesn't have a spot for cash and i do have cash on me allot due to my work i have to pay entrance into ports and they only accept cash. We'll my grandpa when he passed left me a Victorinox money clip which is basically just a 1 layer 71mm sak with a blade, scissors, and file that on the back side of the scale has a moneyclip. I sent it off to the same guy who made my custom cybertool. The plans are to upgrade the scales to titanium put a spyderco blade on it and make the whole sak look identical to my cybertool i shared the other day. I also carry a Esse Izula which is my main blade. My 2 Saks are just secondary blades because I use the tools more often then the blade and I carry a pair of 4 inch Cobra pliers in a alpaka pocket organizer with the 2 saks. My dad told me that I have to many blades on me and that it could get me in trouble and that i should just carry a leatherman and give him either my cybertool or the moneyclip along with the cobra pliers. I mean that would still be the same amount of blades so idk how that'd solve my issues. So is there such a thing as to many blades??

EDC talk

Starting my edc gear. I don’t have much use for a pen or a flashlight so I was thinking about combing the both and getting a fenix t6. Or should I just get them separate.

My EDC (UK)

I'm looking for a pouch rather than just launching it all into a small bag, most of the time my phone, SAK, wallet, watch are all on me . Looking for a pouch to fit the camera and other small bits ? As you can see the camera is really compact.

Maxpedition mini advice needed!

I normally wear a Vertx fanny pack that holds my edc (sig p365, knife, keys, wallet, chapstick, multitool, zip ties, spare cash) but came across the maxpedition mini on sale for black friday & figured it be a nice way to keep things “together” in one place. For those that carry a pouch like this; how you carry it & what all goes inside vs what stays on body?

All you need?

As much as I love all my high end, fancy, expensive knives and EDC stuff, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit this covers about 80-90% of real life daily situations.
