As a tinkerer, I would like to see the customized and modified gear people carry. After all, EDC was just carrying what you found and modified to suite your needs prior to EDC being a marketable thing.
Thanks so much Glen @Glenl.edc for including our utility knife and Taylor for mentioning us! Really would love to send out a TiRant RAZOR V2 over to you (Taylor) to check out sometime! Our new version is going to feature a special Ti spacer with pry-bar and lanyard hole. It's also going to feature some really nice gold series caged ball bearings vs. the nylon in our previous version. We're also drilling ourt the internal structure to lighten the knife! Cool stuff coming. Thanks to everyone for the support of our small company, -Josh
I love the TiRant!! I can't imagine a V2 being much better? I have a TON of options and most are way more expensive! But I carry yours everyday. I have been edcing a utility knife since 2001.. but the options in the last 5 years of so have been ssooo good... I remember how happy I was when the folding huskys and then the Lenox with the locking blade .. I wouldd have never imagined what would come... What is the price point on the V2 and when will it be available?thanks for an awesome product!
A theme that might be interesting to try is dual EDC's. I myself have two EDC's. One while I am in uniform, and by extension work, and another for when I am in civies. Could be interesting to see things like the difference in carries, or how EDC's are carried, for people like blue-collar workers who have a need for more capability or heavier duty carry when they are on the job as opposed to not.
I love your videos, they’re informative and just fun to watch. Question-I’ve been looking for a slim and short fixed blade to go in the pocket to edc that can stand to actually be used? All suggestions welcome
manix 2 in S110v, becker necker in a custom kydex sheath with scout straps. boker rocket pen in brass, streamlight stylus pro (because it's hard to find a nice 2 AAA flashlight that i like better. not 511, the button wears out too fast, also its a wider beam). got the point and edge retention for when i need to cut something with the manix 2, and i love knowing i can basicaly beat anything up with the 1095 on the becker necker and sharpen it up again in 5 minutes or less. when i'm feeling like hard use in the kitchen i do love the cjrb crag i modded with a bigger finger choil and rounded the horn out. that thing is awesome to cut with.
I would love to see some sort of all star EDC from at least Taylor/ Peter /Jeremy of their favorite pieces of gear to complete a full carry I would love to see what they pick
I know most people probably wouldn't consider a mini griptilian A hard use knife but I have carried my yellow mini grip almost everyday for work as a journeyman electrician for 8 years. It's scales are a greyish mustard, I had to replace the Omega springs a couple years back, and the blade is bellied and a 1/4" shorter then it started. But it has cut drywall, reamed PVC and EMT, chiseled out studs, and stripped more wire then most people could ever dream of. I like my old 940 more but that mini grip doesn't owe me a dime and I would still grab it for anything nasty I need cut or scraped.
My biggest gripe with magnetic keychains is that every component of your keys needs to then be non-magnetic. and most actual key rings are not titanium for instance
@@xerostyle yeah can definitely be an issue when the magnets are separated, this is why I only have my car fob and key and some wiha bits in a leather sleeve on my keys
for smaller, retro and hard use; I absolutely love my Marathon GPM watch in stainless steel with a lether zulu strap from strapco. Tritium lum., auto., sapphire, 5atm.
Had to send my bugout and 940 in for repair multiple times. I even had to send my sebenza in. But the one knife I’ve had the longest and have used the hardest with no repairs...drum roll... para military 2 in s35vn. It never fails. I usually carry a northwoods Fremont or heritage Jack with it.
Not sure if this was share but the Benchmade Grip, and if you want a more budget friendly version of a knife and watch, Spyderco Tenacious, and a G-shock watch.
For hard use (every damn day at work) I use a rat II and an esee izula cuz they’re cheap workhorses that I don’t mind wrecking if the situation calls for it lol.
What’s your opinion about CRKT M16 series knives. I’ve been carrying a M16-13T for over 10 years. Sharpened it so much it doesn’t have any serrations anymore. Best damn tough knife out there IMO.
Given the trend of a lot of EDC guys ditching smart watches, I would really like to see you dive into the world of smart watches in terms of EDC capabilities/ruggedness. I, for one, run a smart watch daily but have been contemplating switching things up and would love to see/hear your input on what's out on the market currently vs. traditional watches.
I’ve just picked up edc and i’m a big fan of the edc utility knifes, could you review the exceed designs utility knives i’ve seen them but none are in your vids!
I’d like you to do videos where you go through carries with a price range of each item. Like first you do carries with flashies ranging from $10-$25 then 25-75. Then you do one for knives, then wallets and so forth. That way we can see if most people usually have one really expensive item in their carry or if most people who have one have a bunch! I think it would be an interesting topic!
Can you give your opinion on gshock watches or even do a show on them maybe best of different price ranges I would love to hear your opinion on design and functionality of the brand
My Mora eldris is my toughest and most important edc gear for my job as an Shellfisher ✌🏽 Not mind blowing but impossible to break and perfekt for wet hands and saltwater
as far as knives go, i always seem to reach for the para3 when i have a tough job. i trust my maxpedition keyper belt holster more than any of my other gear (keys are important). i owned my first one for 7yrs before the Velcro wore out. and even then, i could have just replaced the one side of Velcro and it would have been fine. but i wanted to support such a quality company again.
Maybe if Taylor wants to look at 400 PM2s and 3s. I can't say I've ever seen a carry with a Spyderco other than those. Even I myself carry a PM2 more than any of the other half dozen Spyderco knives I have, combined.
Love SMWS have been a member for a while, love the work you and your stepfather Jeremy Siers are doing you both are rock stars, keep up the great work. (:
Everyone sleeps on the Casio Oceanus S100 watch. Solar-powered, titanium case & band, perpetual calendar, strong lume that lasts all night, syncs with atomic clock, Tough Movement inside, sapphire crystal, and 100m w/r - it's a beast that doesn't look like one. Set it and forget it. And one can easily jump it between time zones in seconds without losing accuracy. Of course it's JDM-only and has to be ordered from Japan, but it's worth it.
*check out (or at least seriously ponder) the oceanus brass kraken knife a recent kickstarter campaign...very unique design that uses standard replaceable utility blades...solid brass...very tough...'nuff said*
Though it's not carry I would be interested in what people work is. There's a number of posts about the Orbitkey Nest (I got mine over a year ago through Kickstarter). Maybe themed around say office workers and more physical jobs. I live in the UK so as much as I would love some of the gear shown here, especially knives, they aren't legal which makes me sad. Anyhow always love your shows.
I’d like to see what people carry to work. I’ve got a copper carry, blackout carry extra. My work carry has bits a pieces of both for various reasons plus orange mini bugout and gripelion. It doesn’t match at all with my copper Tactil Turn pen and black leather Klein tool holster and black leather holster for my Free P4 and Olight warrior(black). It clashes but it works. Black leather cleans up neater then brown after a hard day and the pry handles on my knives have saved me from loss in them twice. The copper pen is anti microbial which I care about on a construction sight. Just wonder what other people’s carries at work look like. The guys at work think I’m insane.
laugh as much as You want, but : victorinox huntsman, ontario rat 1, knipex cobra 12,5cm (exchengable with lm rebar), olight i5t, and (seriously) casio duro knockoff i bought as a joke and it's absolutely indestructible (no idea how it's possible but you can literally drive nails with it). I use 3 pens according to mood, it's (duh!) parker jotter, boker plus ttp, and custom brass bolt action mini from local maker (fucking love it). Not to forget dedicated car trunk multifunction knoife Ruike LD42-b.
Well , when I need to use a knife and I want to go full resistant, I pick my victorinox. And I wanted to see an EDC weekly Europe edition. I'm sure that it will be interesting.
A tip for scotch drinking. Adding a splash of water will bring the alcohol content under 80% and it wont numb your tongue. You will also be able to taste more of the scotch since unsurprisingly a numb mouth is bad at nuance.
wow holster for your airpods. My wife has nothing to complain about when I should her my extras that she claims is not needed. I will just show here this video. lol:-)
Would love for you to do like a bargain store carry... Like a dollar store. See what you can get. How good it is. Or a WISH/AliExpress haul review. Something for the broke folks :P
None of the items in the pictures seems to be used 😄 No heavy use there. And for good reason. I wouldn’t use knives for several hundreds of heavy use either. My whole work EDC is cheaper that one of these knives but I use it.

Taylor back at it again picking everything with a wood background
As a tinkerer, I would like to see the customized and modified gear people carry. After all, EDC was just carrying what you found and modified to suite your needs prior to EDC being a marketable thing.
I'd love to see some well worn EDCs, vintage stuff, or maybe some things peoples' parents/grandparents carry
Same here, these things are nice but ya know….I can’t afford any of that stuff. More like my 7 yr old gshock, beat up izula2 and manix lw.
Also down for this🤙🏽🤙🏽
Case pocket knife, pack of matches, money clip and hard candies (peppermint)
Or just some regular EDC. Black minimalist wallet, Swiss army knife, Blistex, keys on a Key Smart holder, Benchmade mini Adamas.
I modify my gear as needed. I would lover to see custom and modified carries.

In the spirit of "Hot Girl Summer" I wanna see what people be carrying for a night out
I carry a 2ft dagger in my boot and a night stick
A phone , wallet and nothing else because bouncers take everything off you
My yojumbo pocket knife a spair pistol clip and my cuffs and badge
@@timc5301 similar to yours, but I also carry a grenade belt

doesn’t necessarily need to be in an edc weekly video but i would like to get some recommendations on quick release keychains
Urban carvers make awesome magnetic QR's and prometheus brand makes some Kapa quick releases that use a spring for retention
Don't forget keybar has the hexnut or whatever they call it I have a ti urban carvers and live it
My biggest gripe with magnetic keychains is that every component of your keys needs to then be non-magnetic. and most actual key rings are not titanium for instance
@@xerostyle Also the magnets can screw with things. I just got some and they're messing with my cars anti-theft system

Strongly recommend a nice hybrid smartwatch. You get looks and functionality
I’ve just picked up edc and i’m a big fan of the edc utility knifes, could you review the exceed designs utility knives i’ve seen them but none are in your vids!
Hi, Taylor, possible to get the shirt u wearing? How much & where?
How is Garmin Fenix 6? I looking for a watch like that I have a old school iwatch and it dies quick lol.
I would love to see an episode dedicated to modded carries. I think it would be great inspiration for those of us into modding items.
I've been using the discontinued kershaw tremor 1950 for the past 5 years. By far the best heavy use folder I have had. It takes a beating!
I’d like you to do videos where you go through carries with a price range of each item. Like first you do carries with flashies ranging from $10-$25 then 25-75.

My CRK Large Sebenza 21 or Medford Marauder, Machine Era brass pen and the Medford Knuckin Futz find their way to my pocket frequently.
Taylor have you looked at the toler union multi tool, would love to hear your thoughts on it
Man ! You are the best !! You motivated me to EDC carries !!
Do they make a strap like that for the Garmin instinct?
My Mora eldris is my toughest and most important edc gear for my job as an Shellfisher ✌🏽

What was Glenl's frame lock utility knife? Sounded like "seed designs" but it's not in the description and Google is failing me right now.
Exceed designs. They commented below
My Mini Adamas is one of my hard use knives I love to carry...actually tend to carry it almost daily regardless of what I am getting in to.

Glen should also check out the Redeemed Creations Co front-pocket bi-fold in blue leather.
I'm from South Africa and Umnumzane is Zulu, meaning Sir/Gentleman. Even the word Sebenza which means work. Wow this is amazing.
Finally got a tactile turn pen, that bolt action is very nice 👌
What about summer carry? I know a lot of people that scale back in the runner due to wearing shorts and not being able to conceal as much.
Haven’t been watching all your videos recently and didn’t recognize you when I put this one on! You’ve lost quite a bit of weight man, good for you!

If I'm looking to carry a tough knife I grab my cold steel ad-10 or ad-15. Booths are beasts and I have deep carry clips from pops clips on both.
No better way to spend a Sunday. Thank you TH-cam algorithm.
Citizen makes very tough both field and divers for less than seiko. Fx the NY0040 and the BN0118
What were the watch brands you named again in the 200-600 dollar range?
Taylor do you know anyone who EDC a Hazard 4 Heavywater diver?
Where can I get one of those topo pocket clips
Thanks Taylor - it can officially be Friday now! Have a nice weekend dude!

The DC0 is a 250$ flashlight that only outputs 350 lumens. Absolutely not. That's a no go.

Jack Wolf Knives for a secondary knife. Every time. All the time
Came to see a nice foto and I will stay for a long time, sub and thumb up
When I drink scotch I don't do words good either ... LOL
I clicked on the video thinking it was EDC‘s that are difficult to carry for some reason or another which may be an interesting video
