TOUGHBUILT Folding Saw

Read More

I have no idea if this pull saw is worth a shit or not, but I really like the design work done here. It’s good enough that I kind of want to drive over to Lowes and pick one up just to study it…

The Palmer

I’m not a huge fan of James Brand, but… I have to admit their design work is fantastic. And now, they’ve gone and designed a variation of one of my favorite EDC tools – the pocketable utility knife. Their effort looks really compact, but seems to be missing a key ingredient – pocket clip.

Gerber Lockdown

When I first saw these, I got really excited as I thought they may host utility blades. They don’t… but they are still pretty cool. Two versions:

  1. The Lockdown Pry. Key feature here, obviously, is the tail mounted pry bar.
  2. The Lockdown Drive. Key feature obviously being the driver on the tail end.

Both are cheap too… Around $60.

Trio Of Knives

I don’t do much in the kitchen, but my wife recently got a “trio of knives” from Material and they damn good. In fact, you wouldn’t think $150 would yield such steel, fit, and finish. Highly recommended.

Batch #003

I love this idea. It’s basically just a simple folder with an interchangeable blade and a bit driver. If something like this ever hit critical mass and replacement blades were available everywhere, this would be the ultimate EDC.

Giaco is the guy behind the MakerKnife – a gorgeously designed, but inconsistently manufactured utility knife. And now, he’s come out with his own flashlight. Honestly, I don’t see a lot of ground being broken here.

Pioneer X WESN

Read More

I’m a huge fan of Pioneer. They use materials that others don’t dare to and they do it with a smart eye on design. And while I have yet to try their new pouch line, they look dope as hell. Recently, they launched a collaboration with WESN… Essentially, it’s a Pioneer Global pouch packaged with a titanium micro blade from WESN.

M-19 Multi-bit Screw Driver

Read More

A pretty clever design for something that I don’t think has been perfect just yet – an EDC multi-bit screwdriver. This attempt uses a skeletized frame with magnets… Pretty good.
