Gearhunter — Handmade Hanks with Heart Featured

Written by

When you spend enough time in the EDC world, you start to realize that some of the best gear doesn’t come from big companies or fancy marketing — it comes from people who live this stuff. People who understand why we care about the little things we carry every day. Gearhunter is one of those brands.

This isn’t a mass-production operation. Gearhunter was built from the ground up by someone who didn’t just stumble into the EDC community — she grew into it. What started as a job answering customer emails quickly turned into real conversations with real people. Those conversations turned into connections. And before long, she found herself fully immersed in this world of pocket dumps, knife mods, sharpening tricks, and all the little rituals that make this hobby feel like home.

That sense of discovery and personal connection is baked right into the brand itself. The Gearhunter logo? It’s a little nod to Ready Player One — shaped like an egg, with the letters G and H hidden inside — a quiet reminder that gear (and life) is full of hidden gems waiting to be uncovered.

But Gearhunter isn’t just about clever branding or a catchy name. It’s about craft. Real, hands-on work rooted in tradition. Growing up, she watched her mom sew and create — repairing clothes, adding patches, making things with care and patience. That love for handmade work carried over into her own projects, eventually leading her to make hanks for the EDC community — not as an afterthought, but as functional little canvases for creativity.

These hanks aren’t just cut squares of fabric with a logo slapped on. They’re thoughtful, well-made, and designed with both form and function in mind. And honestly — that shows.


The Gearhunter Lineup

Gearhunter’s hanks all follow the same core idea — practical, pocket-friendly designs elevated by quality materials and handmade craftsmanship. But each one brings its own personality to the table.

Classic

The Classic is what you reach for when you want something rugged, timeless, and ready for whatever’s in your pocket. It uses plaid wool on the front — tough enough to hold up, but with that cozy outdoorsy vibe that just feels right. Backed with microfiber for cleaning knives, screens, and lenses — it’s as practical as it is good-looking.

Hills

The Hills is lightweight and simple — made from 100% cotton with a black-and-white mountain-inspired design. It’s easy to carry, easy to use, and has that subtle aesthetic that works in just about any loadout.

Iceberg

The Iceberg brings a splash of fun — using traditional tie-dye techniques, every hank is completely unique. No two patterns are the same, which makes it feel a little more personal. Built with a three-layer construction, it’s a little thicker than the others, but still pocket-friendly and practical.

Mossward

The Mossward is probably the most refined option in the lineup — using herringbone wool for a dressier, more classic look. It wouldn’t look out of place next to a watch roll or in a work carry. Still practical, still handmade — but with a little extra style.

Night Owl

And then there’s the Night Owl — the most playful of the bunch. This one uses glow-in-the-dark yarn woven into the cotton front. It’s subtle during the day, but hit it with a little light and it gives off a soft glow in the dark. Is it necessary? Nope. Is it cool? Absolutely.


Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, Gearhunter isn’t trying to flood the market or reinvent the wheel. What makes this brand stand out is the heart behind it. These hanks are made by someone who’s part of the community — who understands the value of small details, meaningful design, and gear that tells a story.

It’s gear made for people like us — with care, creativity, and the kind of craftsmanship that reminds you why handmade is still special.
