Ok T, then do the Opposite for a month. Carry a Victorinox Compact and do every cutting task with it. The question would be; Is there anything you can't do with a SAK?
@@JE_AB_CA yes, and just like carrying only a fixed blade for a month, it would be fun, and a challenge. What you have done is found the right tool for the job. When I had to cut nylon straps or bands all day from pallets of goods I used a box cutter. I changed blades as needed. We didn't use a knife for that. We also carried the Leatherman PST in those days and that was used as pliers to pull the staples, nails, etc.
@JE_AB_CA the same is true for pretty much every multitool. A proper screwdriver can't be beat by a multitool. A proper set of pliers can't be beat by a multitool. A proper knife can't be beat a multitool. They're good in a pinch if you can't do better, but if you can, you should.

Because he can. Seriously - as a normal person you can never max out a Golf GTI on a public road - and yet people are paying $X00,000 for sportscars that they will also never max out on a public road. Status, prestige but also an appreciation of premium products. My carry costs 1/4 of this carry and can do at least as much when I need it to.
Because it’s a status symbol in the edc community. Yeah sure it’s a flashlight too but mostly just a status symbol to make your poorer edc friends jealous. They are high quality but in my opinion that can’t justify the $400+ price tag. (Edit: he also gets them for free)
I used to carry different flashlights and knives around, and sometimes a firearm. I developed a collection. I am home more, so now I keep a flashlight, a knife, and a firearm in every room.

I got lucky, but i got 2 dlc mini click big idea pens for 50 a piece on Kickstart year's ago. My justification is that they are heirloom pens that I'll use and will have the rest of my life. Does someone need to spend 110 on a single pen, maybe maybe not, but does someone need to spend 100 200 300+ on a pair of sneakers? We all like what we like and chose to value all sort of material things differently. Just some of those things will last a lifetime being used daily. While some things can only be used for a short time and you'll have to buy that thing all over again.
My question on the pens, is how stock are the refills. Companies and brands go out of business all the time. I have a ton of "nice" pens that I can't find the correct refills for. Be careful on lifetime pen purchases.
Like the videos, but the price of the tool 😬. I feel comfortable with things that I can break, misplace like a bic pen. But his edc videos are my favorite to watch
Hey, I was just wondering which pocket do you carry your phone in which pocket do you carry keys and other stuff? What pocket do you carry your knife? In I always carry my phone in my right pocket and then I always carry my keys and wallet in my left pocket, but I’ve never carried a knife with me because it doesn’t fit in my right pocket when I’m carrying my phone and I’m about to buy a fix blade for my everyday carry knife, so I’m just wondering where I would put my knife what should I do different?
For me, it's phone in left or lower left it I have it. And knife clipped on right. Wallet and keys in the right pocket low enough that they don't fight with the knife. Or if I have a lower right on those pants they go in there. Like cargo pockets is what I'm talking about. My only problem is trying to get wallet or keys without scratching myself on the outside of some knives.
Have you had your hands on a montana knife co. blade yet? They're big on the hunting side of the industry but i'd love to see how it'd stack up against all of the blades you've had and see what you think.
I love that knife but unless youve moved and i missed it, isn't that manner of carrying that fixed blade illegal in NC? You arent allowed to concealed carry a fixed blade in NC
I didn't know you were in NC. I'm on a business trip there in a couple of weeks, RTP. I can't bring a knife and I'm planning to buy one there to commentate the trip.
@BestDamnEDC no thats fair. (To be clear i also live in NC and wish it was legal to CC fixed blades) i just would be worried personally that if i was to wear a jacket or unintentionally pull my shirt in such a way it ends up cover alot of the handle that would count as concealed
@@BestDamnEDC so much, so obvious. What everyday tasks involve cutting, besides opening boxes? I’m struggling to think why carrying a knife as EDC is worth it. I guess cutting cord/rope might be one of you doing have scissors but that’s not sub every day task for me.
love the look and design of 'big idea' stuff. But they over price their stuff way too much. 110 for a mini click pen? and I've seen some of their mini tools going for well beyond that.
TPT slide is the most garbage mini utility knife in existence. With 5 deployment slide back and forth it immediately dulls the blade and renders the the cutting edge useless. Exceed designs has a much better option.
I know youre not callin a $195 on a fixed blade crazy when you spent $110 on a pen and got two of em, 180 bucks on a pair of pants and 900 on a watch....
