The growing trend of small, pocket-friendly fixed blades is one I’m absolutely thrilled about, and the Kizer Muskrat is another standout addition to this category. As someone who appreciates the practicality of smaller blades for everyday tasks, I can confidently say the Muskrat hits that sweet spot between function and portability.
Knives have been an essential tool for humanity since the dawn of time, evolving from crude, utilitarian implements to objects of artistry and craftsmanship. They are not just tools—they are a reflection of us, infused with purpose and memory. From the rough-hewn tools of early man to intricate, embellished designs forged by skilled hands, knives represent both functionality and beauty. For me, this blend of utility and artistry is what fuels my passion for them.
When it comes to EDC fixed blades, my journey has been eye-opening. Having been a folder guy for decades, I’m now finding these small fixed blades to be versatile in ways I hadn’t fully appreciated. While I’ll likely remain a folder enthusiast, the Kizer Harpoon Mini is one of those knives that’s making me rethink my stance.
The Leatherman Garage Batch #3 "Parts" was a unique, limited-edition multitool that combined creativity with exclusivity. Using repurposed factory components, it introduced an interchangeable blade system in a minimalist design. But with less than a 1,000 units made, it quickly became unobtainable for most fans.
Kansept has been on fire this year, churning out hit after hit with no signs of slowing down. As 2024 wraps up and the holiday season kicks into high gear, there’s no shortage of incredible knives to add to your wish list. Enter the Kansept Thoth, a collaboration with Greg Schob of Sparrow Knife Co., whose passion for knife making shines in every detail. Named after the Egyptian deity of wisdom, the Thoth is a knife that demands attention with its unique design, premium materials, and exceptional functionality.
The Kansept Osprey is a fascinating blend of compact design and bold utility, crafted by 18-year-old Canadian knifemaker Jonathan Shaw. Despite its official designation as a Wharncliffe blade, its pronounced curve and aggressive profile align more closely with the utility and aesthetics of a hawkbill blade. This distinctive shape is what sets the Osprey apart in both form and function.
The TRM Bulldog isn’t just another knife—it’s that scrappy yet polished companion you didn’t know you needed. Compact, hardworking, and undeniably charming, it’s the EDC equivalent of a loyal pup: always ready, never in the way, and packing plenty of bite.
Pry bars are a hot topic in the EDC community. You’re either a believer in their utility or part of the crowd that sees them as a fleeting trend, arguing that a screwdriver or similar tool can handle the same tasks. The skepticism makes sense—we went decades without carrying pry bars and managed just fine. But times change, and so do needs. One of the main drivers behind their popularity is the tendency for people to misuse knives for tasks like prying, often snapping the blade. Enter the pry bar: a "blade saver" that’s become a staple, appreciated for its versatility. From opening boxes and cans of paint to popping out window screens, a simple flat piece of steel or alloy has transformed into an indispensable tool.
When it comes to knife maintenance and emergency repairs, my go-to has always been a trusty Kershaw driver. But the OKnife Otacle D1 Brass Driver has introduced a touch of elegance and functionality I didn’t know I needed.
The Victor is a fascinating blend of nostalgia and cutting-edge innovation. With its classic design and pioneering Friction Forged technology, it bridges the gap between the traditional and the modern, offering something unique in a sea of everyday carry options.
Roxon has always been a brand with an eye for innovation, and with the Flex series, they’ve accomplished something truly groundbreaking—the modular multitool. For decades, DIY enthusiasts and tool hobbyists have dreamt of a multitool that could be customized to fit their specific needs, rather than just accepting a fixed set of tools where some might be redundant or unnecessary. With the Flex, Roxon created an adaptable system that quickly won fans in the multitool community. Now, they’ve refined and reimagined that concept with the Flex Companion, a compact, customizable multitool designed for users who don’t need pliers every day but still want a reliable toolkit in their pocket.
When it comes to everyday carry (EDC), the goal is to carry gear that meets your daily needs. For some, this means a consistent setup; for others, EDC evolves daily, adapting to new tasks and challenges. This evolution has given rise to a world of gear tailored to countless scenarios. Some people embrace minimalism, while others believe in carrying everything—including the kitchen sink.
This shifting mindset has pushed manufacturers to develop tools for specific tasks or users, whether hikers, skateboarders, or generalists. Many companies follow the “more is better” philosophy, cramming multitools with features to suit as many people as possible. But what if your tools could adapt to your needs? Enter Windeler, a UK-based company reimagining how we interact with tools.

In field testing, the Mink XL's performance was not just noteworthy, but truly impressive under extreme conditions. As fate would have it, I found myself in the aftermath of a hurricane, facing weeks without power. The Mink XL quickly became my go-to blade, proving its versatility in ways I hadn't anticipated.
