Every Day Carry
Do you carry the same EDC setup every day or do you vary it from time to time? Depending on what one’s day looks like, it’s not uncommon to swap out or add a couple of items on occasion. It could be due to the demands of a particular job, while other times it might be because of the weather. There are plenty of reasons why an EDC setup can change from day to day.

Malone
Knives Wingman
MSRP: $139
maloneknives.com
Our 2¢: The small but mighty Wingman from Malone knives is an excellent option for those who like to carry a small fixed blade. It’s made from 1095 high-carbon steel and has a 2.5-inch cutting edge and overall length of 5 inches. What sets it apart from other small fixed blades is the finger hole that extends your grip, giving you superior control over the blade. It makes an excellent neck knife as well as a low-profile belt knife. Handmade in Texas and offered in a variety of custom handle scales.
Fellman Watch Co. Olympic V2
MSRP: $125
fellmanwatchco.com
Our 2¢: Named after the Olympic Peninsula mountain range, the Olympic V2 from Fellman Watch Co. is designed to be an all-purpose watch that looks just as good in the office as it does in the backcountry. It features a 316 stainless steel case with a PVD ceramic coat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, two-piece luminous paint, and Swiss Quartz movement. The V2 is hand-assembled in the USA and comes with a 5-year warranty.
All Access Pass V1.5
MSRP: $88
lynchnw.com
Our 2¢: Machined out of solid titanium, the All Access Pass V1.5 pocket tool is both incredibly lightweight and strong. It functions as a prybar, nail puller, bottle opener, and flathead screwdriver. The All Access Pass measures 4 inches long and features a sand-washed finish. The tool comes with a deep-carry titanium pocket clip and carry lanyard. Made in the USA.
Craft & Lore Wallet
MSRP: $65
craftandlore.com
Our 2¢: This slim, low-profile wallet from Craft & Lore is handmade out of U.S. native steer hide.

The wallet is cut and saddle-stitched by hand in Idaho with a lifetime guarantee on the stitching. Various quality leather options and colors are available.
