The World’s Smallest EDC Knife fits into a US Quarter Coin

Posted on by

Don’t accidentally spend this one…

Designed to be a covert little EDC you can literally slip into your wallet and have on your person at all times, the rather aptly named Quarter Cutter is a thumbnail-sized knife designed for emergencies and sudden conundrums. Crafted from Japanese steel, the circular blade fits squarely inside a quarter coin that’s sliced in half. A rubber o-ring sits around the rim and holds the two halves of the coin together, but pop it off and the two halves separate, revealing the tiny but handy blade underneath.

Designer: Uncrate Supply

The Quarter Cutter comes made from a standard US quarter coin, which definitely brings down the cost of materials, so to speak! Each coin is sliced in half before being outfitted with a sharp disc-shaped blade that’s perfect for opening boxes, cutting ropes, and even slicing open envelopes. One half of the coin serves as a small but easy-to-grip handle, while the other doubles as a sheath that fits the coin perfectly, being held together by that o-ring. Each Quarter Cutter is, rather fittingly, made in the USA… and contrary to its name, is priced at $39 USD. No, it isn’t TSA friendly, so remember to ditch it from your wallet if you’re planning on flying!

Titanium Meets Carbon Fiber: The Tactical EDC Knife You Won’t Want To Live Without

Posted on by

Call it an occupational hazard, but I’ve probably seen over a thousand EDC knives through my 8-year career as a design writer and I’ve probably forgotten a bunch of them. There are a few handful of designs, however, that stand out in my memory for having either a unique design, a clever detail, immense functionality, or using a particular set of materials. The Thunder utility knife ticks most of those boxes.

With a name like “The Thunder”, you’ve got to take this knife seriously, right? Designed to be compact, easy to deploy, and ridiculously effective, the Thunder knife finds its purpose in being a tactical-ready knife that’s just perfect for everything you’d need a knife for. Whether you’re cutting through zip-tie handcuffs, whittling wood for a fireplace, or even opening a box you received in the mail, the Thunder knife serves as an ideal companion. The knife relies on a sharp, replaceable CKB-2 utility blade, and comes with a Grade-5 Titanium handle with Carbon Fiber inlays and an incredibly enjoyable one-hand deployment mechanism. In short, the knife’s handle will last multiple lifetimes, and the replaceable blade lets you always have a dangerously sharp utility knife at all times without all the maintenance most knives require.

The Thunder is an extraordinary flipper for a whole variety of reasons. It’s robust, reliable, and has a ravishing personality. The handle, blade holder, and pocket clip all come machined from solid Grade-5 Titanium (the same kind used in the new iPhone 15 Pro phones), while carbon fiber inlays within the handle give the Thunder its dynamic, edgy appearance. There isn’t enough carbon fiber to materially reduce the weight of the Thunder or add to its ruggedness, but let’s not forget that Titanium is the strongest metal in the world, and it’s also significantly lighter than stainless steel, making the Thunder weigh a mere 3.17 ounces (90 grams) despite its full-size design.

The Thunder’s clever design allows for a number of different deployment styles – all of which are just as rapid and effective. A fin on the top of the knife (when closed) lets you trigger the blade open with your index finger, or alternatively, a thumb stud lets you use your thumb to flick the blade open. Both methods work equally well, allowing you to deploy your knife blade with a single hand, while a liner lock snaps the blade in place so it doesn’t accidentally shut while you’re cutting something. Disengaging the liner lock can be done with a single hand or both hands, and the blade can then be docked back within its handle for another day.

Rather than having its own blade, the Thunder relies on a standard CKB-2 utility blade that you can easily insert into the knife’s holder. Counter-sunk screws hold the knife’s various parts together, and the entire body can be disassembled every time you want to replace an old blade with a new one. If that sounds cumbersome, it’s guaranteed to be faster than sitting and sharpening your blade, and actually results in less waste since you just need to swap out the blade itself rather than throwing the entire knife away. The detachable blade design also makes the Thunder TSA-friendly, allowing you to simply ditch the blade (or pack it separately) and travel with just the handle in your carry-on luggage or on your person.

The CKB-2 blade is an absolute monster, working phenomenally well with its scalpel-style design and long edge to get you out of sticky situations. The tactical blade works well in emergency situations but serves remarkably in regular outdoor and indoor use too. Use it to cut wood, slice and dice food, open boxes, or even envelopes. Manufactured by Olfa, the blades come made from high-quality stainless steel, and are known for their edge retention, corrosion resistance, and versatility, making them a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and survivalists.

The Thunder measures 4.48 inches long when closed, opening to a 6.8-inch knife that’s easy to grip thanks to that full-size ergonomic ambidextrous handle. It even comes with an ambidextrous deep pocket clip that you can attach on either side, or remove entirely too. A lanyard hole on the extreme end lets you string a cord or pass a keyring/carabiner through the Thunder, making it easy to carry around. The knife also sports 4 tritium slots (two in the handle, two in the blade holder) that let you mount glowing tritium sticks into it so that it’s easier to spot in the dark.

The Thunder Utility Knife starts at a respectable $149 (that’s 25% off its 199 MSRP), which is a steal considering its GR5 Titanium + Carbon Fiber make. For an extra $15, however, you can either get a custom engraving on the knife’s body, or have it PVD-coated matte black to make it look even more stealthy and deadly. The Thunder comes with one CKB-2 blade included, and for $25 the makers will ship you two spare blades. Deliveries for the Thunder begin as early as November 2023, with free global shipping.

Feast Your Eyes on this Delightfully Minimal Pocket Knife from The James Brand

Posted on by

While most EDC knives try to cram every possible tool and feaure into their designs, The Wells from The James Brand is the absolute opposite. A masterclass in minimalism, The Wells is a pocket flipper that’s all about visual purity, opting for a sleek MagnaCut stainless steel blade encased within a clean, minimalist Aluminum 6061 handle. Barring the thin pocket clip on one end, a button lock, and The James Brand logo, nothing interferes with The Wells’ aesthetic. The result is something so pristine it looks precious, and like the kind of EDC you’d carry in the pocket of your expensive suit rather than with run-of-the-mill outdoor clothes.

Designer: The James Brand

Available in a silver or even a special all-black variant, The Wells embodies the clean elegance of a ‘gentleman’s EDC’. The American-made flipper features a slick handle that’s reliable to hold onto thanks to a bead-blasted texture, along with a sheepsfoot/wharncliffe blade that flips out effortlessly with the flick of your finger. Measuring 2.875″ / 7.3cm, the blade has a gently curved edge that’s great for cutting, slicing, shearing, whittling, and even gently rocking while you chop away. The point at the edge of the sheepsfoot blade gives you the ability to pierce through objects, packets, boxes, tapes, and plastic film easily, letting you then slice right through.

The knife comes with a sweet flipper action and a button lock that reliably keeps the blade open when in use. Deployable with a single stroke, the blade slides out ever so gracefully thanks to the stainless steel caged ball bearing mechanism, and can be made to retreat back into the handle by pressing the button. Counter-sunk screws hold The Wells’ two-part handle together, as well as a minimalist pocket clip that lets you easily slide the EDC into your pants or breast pocket for carrying around with you. There’s no carabiner hole on this because The Wells is a little too dignified for a carabiner. Moreover, carrying it with your keys or other tools would be kind of a sacrilege considering The Wells has rather solo-performer personality.

The Wells gets its name from the Wells projectile point found in Cherokee County, Texas. Named after one of the first American-made implements, The Wells is also James Brand’s first true flipper knife, paying tribute to its heritage. The knife starts at $425 for the silver variant, or you can splurge a little more to get the all-black model for $439.

The stylish and capable CIVIVI Mini Praxis folding knife is perfect for pockets and small EDCs

Posted on by

We try to be prepared for anything that life throws at us, but we can only cram so many things into our pockets or even our bags. You can make tools smaller, of course, but you also run the risk of reducing their functionality if you cut away too much. It takes diligent and creative design to strike a balance between size and performance, but it is not impossible. Take for example the CIVIVI folding pocket knife that can really clip inside your tight jeans’ pocket, combining function and style in a package that isn’t only easy to handle but also easy to buy.

There always comes a time when we need to cut through something and scissors just won’t cut it, pun totally intended. Knives are the better solution for cutting ropes, wood, and other materials, but the more powerful a knife is, the larger it usually is as well. That’s not even considering how some of these knives won’t pass certain security checks, making it a hassle to take them everywhere. Typical mini pocket knives do have the right size for portability but sacrifice not only performance but also comfort. That’s what makes the CIVIVI Mini Praxis a wonder to hold and behold, combining the best of both worlds without compromises.

At the heart of that feat is a 2.98-inch hard-use blade, ranging from 58 to 61 HRC on the hardness scale, which is not only in the perfect shape for cutting and slicking but also in the perfect size to meet most legal requirements. With a ceramic ball bearing, the blade unfolds and folds smoothly, making each flip feel satisfying each and every time. A liner lock also makes sure that the blade stays in place, keeping your hand and other EDC items out of harm’s way.

The CIVIVI Mini Praxis, however, isn’t just a sharp folding knife, it’s also an ergonomic one. A contoured G10 handle that scales over a stainless steel inner frame delivers an excellent grip, with recesses designed especially for your fingers. Jimping on the top of the blade also provides a place to rest your thumb to further enhance your hold for especially stubborn ropes or wood. And when the job is done, the built-in deep-carry pocket clip makes it super easy to slip the folded knife into your pocket and get going.

With choices of a satin-finished blade, a stonewashed blade, or a Damascus steel blade, and G10 or wooden handles, the CIVIVI Mini Praxis also exudes style in such a small package. Whether you’re out camping, trying to hook some fish, or just preparing for any eventuality, the sleek and handy CIVIVI Mini Praxis folding knife can easily fit in pockets and bags to deliver the sharpness and confidence you need to cut through any task, anytime, anywhere.

Looking for an Ultra-Compact Outdoor Knife? The tiny $11 SlideWinder is a wonderful pick

Posted on by

Measuring a mere 3.5 inches in length, the SlideWinder is the kind of outdoor EDC that you won’t even realize you’re carrying with you until you need it. The ultra-compact handheld tool sports a spring-deployable razor blade that’s great for cutting open boxes, piercing packets, and scoring wood, along with a built-in flathead screwdriver, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and a bottle opener. The entire contraption weighs a paltry 1.5 ounces (42.5 grams) and comes with a keyring hole, making it an ideal blend between versatile and compact for someone looking to carry EDC without sacrificing pocket space.

Designer: Outdoor Edge

Click Here to Buy Now

The SlideWinder sports a spring-loaded blade deployment mechanism that ejects a standard, replaceable razor-style blade that’s perfect for cutting, slicing, and piercing. The standard utility razor blade is sharp, lightweight, and doesn’t need maintenance. If the edge ever dulls or breaks, you can simply replace it for another one and your SlideWinder is as good as new. A slider on the side of the grip lets you deploy the blade with your thumb, and a nifty mechanism locks the blade in place while you’re cutting. When you’re done using the blade, an orange button on the slider lets you disengage the lock, while the spring inside the grip immediately retracts the blade inwards, ‘closing’ your knife.

The blade is also accompanied by a bottle opener designed into the front of the grip, along with a flat-head screwdriver on top (which is also great for prying and scraping), and a Phillips head driver on the back.

Depending on whether you prioritize weight or durability, the SlideWinder comes with either a glass-infused nylon polymer grip or a stainless steel grip. For people wanting lighter EDC, the glass/nylon SlideWinder has 3 color variants to choose from, with the flathead and Phillips head screwdriver units screwed into the plastic grip. The stainless steel version, on the other hand, has a more integrated design with the screwdrivers built right into the steel handle. Finally, both variants have a pocket clip attached onto the reverse side, allowing you to carry your SlideWinder in your pocket’s lining. Or better still, tag it onto a keychain with your keys and other tools and clip it to your belt loop or backpack!

The James Brand’s latest pocket knife has a gorgeous Acetate handle inspired by haute eyewear

Posted on by

Although an unusual material choice for EDC, Acetate (colloquially also referred to as ‘shell’) is one of the most used materials in eyewear, lending an undeniably retro-inspired fashion taste to the category. In The James Brand’s latest Elko pocket knife, the Acetate handle does something similar – it elevates the EDC to new heights, turning it from an essential tool into an accessory you’ll want to flaunt.

The James Brand’s knives have always been a class apart, prioritizing their signature minimalist aesthetic over trying to look rugged or dangerous (no wonder it ranks in the top 5 EDC brands). In a world where EDC knives try to look military-inspired or tactical, The James Brand’s knives have aspired to be objets d’art. The Elko knife is no different.

Designer: The James Brand

With its small size and demure appearance, the Elko is the kind of knife you really tend to underestimate and then be surprised by – sort of like watching a 5-foot lady in a floral dress punch the lights out of a 6’6″ burly mugger. The James Brand’s smallest knife, it measures a measly 2.6 inches when closed, opening to 4.33 inches when you flip the Sandvik 12C27 steel drop-point blade out. Despite its tiny footprint, the Elko is a powerful tool to have with you and fits right around your keychain.

On the reverse side of the blade is the Elko’s steel pry-bar/scraper-tool which also has a hollow cutout to let you attach the knife onto a lanyard or around your keychain. Between them is the Elko’s petite handle, which comes in either aluminum or this gorgeous acetate finish.

Acetate is also a material your skin is naturally comfortable with. If you wear ‘shell’ frames, they sit on your face for the majority of your day, without really affecting you or even succumbing to the oils that your skin produces. Sure, its smooth finish would feel counterintuitive on a handle (which could end up being a little slippery), and that’s perhaps the only fault I’d have with the Elko. Maybe a microtexture or just a few lines would do wonders toward making this visually beautiful knife just the right amount of enjoyably tactile too!

The “Swiss Army Knife of Stationery” Lets You Sketch, Ideate, Plan, and Measure Anywhere

Posted on by

Last year we raved about the Horizon Helvetica®, an artist-oriented piece of EDC designed to pretty much replace conventional stationery kits. This time, the Horizon Helvetica® returns with its little sibling, the Horizon Key®, a keychain-friendly multitool that looks and functions as a scale but also moonlights as a hex wrench, bottle opener, basic protractor, flat-head screwdriver, mini-saw, and wire ripper. Designed to be more compact than the card-shaped Horizon Helvetica®, the Key® fits right in your keychain while the Horizon Helvetica® sits in your wallet. Together, both of Horizon’s tools cover every creative tinkerer’s need, from sketching and planning, to repairing and modifying.

Designer: Ufuk Koc of Horizon Design Solutions

A perfect set of tools for artists, designers, engineers, architects, and anyone with a dominant right brain, the Horizon Helvetica® and Key® combine to give creatives every conceivable instrument they need, while still being hyper-portable.

Horizon Helvetica®

Draw perfect circles.

Special section for Pixel and Pica measurements. Easily convert your sketches into digital area.

Unleash your creativity with isometric grid and cube sections.

Eliminate old tools from your life.

Perfect straight lines anytime.

The Horizon Helvetica® from last year still holds its position as one of the most creative-oriented EDC multitools on the market. Its name comes from the iconic sans-serif font, known for its supremacy and versatility. With a credit-card-shaped form factor, it allows you to sketch and doodle, measure distances and angles, create grids and circles for planned drawings, and even has a dedicated measuring scale for pixels and picas, making itself incredibly useful to graphic and interface designers who can use the Horizon Helvetica® to create UI sketch prototypes on paper before taking their concepts into Figma, Sketch, Illustrator, or any other design software.

Horizon Key®

The Horizon Key®, on the other hand, is a more hands-on tool designed for industrial designers, engineers, and overall tinkerers. Made for technical and physical applications, the Horizon Key® is a linear instrument with as many as 12 tools hidden inside its form factor. Its linear design makes it a perfect miniature ruler, which can be used for drawing lines as well as measuring objects in imperial as well as metric units. An inner cutout in the Key® also works as a multi-size hex wrench for opening and tightening bolts, while a smaller cutout on the outside serves as a spoke key for working on bicycle wheels. The Key® also has a mini-saw, a bottle opener, a wire-stripper, a flat-head screwdriver, and a protractor (angle indicator) built into it. Measuring under 3 inches in length and just 0.04 inches (1.2mm) thick, the Key® strings right into your keychain, letting you carry it wherever you go.

Both the Horizon Helvetica® and Key® come laser-cut from 304 Stainless Steel, and are available in a number of anodized color options with two more colors (Irish Green and Classic Blue) being added this year. Portability being their paramount feature, the Helvetica® and Key® are designed with a pocket-friendly format, and are even rated TSA-friendly for travel. You can grab both tools at £31 ($39 USD), with the option to only buy one of the tools (if you bought the Helvetica last year), or grab add-ons like the Horizon Memo Book, or a genuine Italian leather card-holder for your Helvetica®. Both the Horizon Helvetica® and Key® are perfect for anyone with a creatively-aligned mind, and start shipping in November 2023.

Tiny 14-in-1 Titanium Key Multitool Is More Versatile Than A Swiss Army Knife

Posted on by

Most keys open locks… The KeyMaster opens endless possibilities.

Named after its key-shaped design, this hyper-versatile multitool sits on your keychain and can do everything from open a bottle to fix a bicycle. Made from titanium, the KeyMaster is a durable little monster-multitool that fits every conceivable tool into its unique design. It comes machined from Grade 5 Titanium, weighs a paltry 29 grams (1 ounce), and is durable enough to last multiple lifetimes.

Designer: EDC Monster

Portable multitools are a dime a dozen, but none quite as well-designed as the KeyMaster. Its literal key-shaped design comes with a world of potential, and strings around your keychain or even around your neck like an ornament with a dog-tag-like appeal. A testament to how much usability you can actually cram into the shape and size of a key, the KeyMaster comes with 14 different types of tools that get you out of all kinds of fixes, whether it’s in the outdoors, at home, or in your garage.

The KeyMaster is a hyper-versatile, durable, compact, and lightweight multitool that easily replaces any other EDC you have.

Its two-part design, locked together by a hollow swiveling joint, touts as many as 14 different types of tools

Any multitool worth its salt needs to have a few standard tools, and the KeyMaster comfortably ticks those boxes. The titanium multitool comes with a nifty scalpel-holder built into its design that lets you mount any standard scalpel blade to it for effective cutting, piercing, whittling, slicing, and scraping. The scalpel blade folds into the KeyMaster’s design when not in use and folds out when you need a small yet effective knife. Moreover, the readily-available scalpel blade can easily be switched out for a new one after it gets dull, extending the KeyMaster’s overall longevity without worrying about sharpening blades. Want to cut through something a little more tough? The KeyMaster also packs a serrated edge for objects that require a little more elbow grease, allowing you to finely saw away at twigs and branches. The serrated edge also works remarkably well for scraping flint to start fires outdoors.

Multitools are also somewhat incomplete without bottle-openers and pry-bars, which is why it comes as no surprise that the KeyMaster has them too. The bottle opener brings a more everyday convenience to the KeyMaster, and the prybar also doubles as a box opener and a flat-head screwdriver. For smaller screws, the KeyMaster packs two more smaller flathead screwdrivers into its sizes, along with two small Philips-head drivers for good measure.

The KeyMaster’s swiveling design is the ‘key’ to its versatility. The two-part form factor allows it to integrate more tools and functionality into it, borrowing a page from the Swiss Army Knife. Quite like its inspiration, the KeyMaster also comes with a miniature scale of its own, with both metric as well as imperial measurements. Right below the imperial ruler is also another serrated surface that does the job of a file, helping you sand or file away at rough surfaces or remove unwanted burrs/irregularities.

Things get interesting with the KeyMaster’s built-in hex and spoke wrenches. Going above and beyond what your standard multitool gives you, the KeyMaster’s integrated wrench profiles help you assemble, disassemble, and repair objects around you. The hex wrenches come in 5 different sizes, and even let you mount S2 hex bits, working as a screwdriver. The spoke wrenches, on the other hand, are exceedingly useful for people with bicycles or motorcycles, allowing them to quickly tinker with and repair their vehicles in a moment of crisis. The hollow part of the KeyMaster’s swivel hinge also doubles as a wire bender, giving you a high-torque tool that lets you easily bend wires and narrow pipes.

Despite all its capabilities, the KeyMaster weighs just an ounce, thanks to some great design and engineering. Its compact form factor definitely wins my heart, coupled with a titanium build that’s not just extremely durable, but also waterproof, scratchproof, and corrosion-resistant. Measuring just 112mm long (4.4 inches) and 35mm across (1.3 inches), the KeyMaster ranks as one of the smaller multitools we’ve seen and can be carried in a multitude of ways. Moreover, ditch the scalpel blade and the thing is TSA-friendly too, meaning you can even carry it on flights. The KeyMaster comes with a sandblasted titanium finish, and starts at an extremely affordable $59, with free global shipping.

Incredibly Handy 6-in-1 Multitool Has A Built-In Adjustable Wrench And Fits In Your Pocket

Posted on by

A purpose-built multitool that’s perfect to stash in your backpack, your car, bicycle kit, workshed, or even your pocket, the OUTU 6-in-1 multitool gives you all the tinkering tools you need to open, assemble, or repair anything around you. The handy multitool occupies about the same space as a large USB stick when closed (measuring just 4.5 inches long), but open it out and you’ve got yourself an adjustable wrench, prybar, bottle opener, knife, Philips-head screwdriver, and a sleeve for attaching S2 hex bits to your multitool to work with a wide range of screws.

Covering practically every day-to-day scenario where you’d need a multitool, the OUTU 6-in-1 Multitool EDC is compact enough to be hyper-portable, useful enough to get the job done, and then even lets you crack open a bottle of brewski after a hard day of work!

Click Here to Buy Now

The multitool comes in different accented color options, giving you the ability to choose between vibrant orange, red, blue, or a classic black. The EDC sports a foldable design reminiscent of the pocket knives we’ve been seeing for over a century, however, it also fashions itself with a select set of tools that are much more necessary in the modern age. A blade gets you through rough situations where you need to slice ropes, whittle wood, or cut open boxes, while the adjustable wrench lets you tinker and toy around with everything from furniture to bicycles to potentially even your car. The prybar doubles as a flathead screwdriver, and there’s a dedicated Philips-head screwdriver too, but combined, they let you dock a mounting sleeve to install S2 hex bits. This, in my opinion, is uniquely game-changing.

The adjustable wrench (or pliers if you tend to use that terminology) helps easily tighten or loosen bolts. The wrench jaws open to an impressive 24mm and are built at an angle, providing up to 65 kilograms of torque to let you twist open or twist to tighten even the toughest bolts or nuts.

The OUTU 6-in-1 Multitool also comes with its own set of hex-bits, and a mounting sleeve that lets you attach them to the multitool. The bit sleeve (shown in the image above) mounts on the flathead and Philips head screwdrivers when opened. Both of them open to form a square-shaped profile that fits the sleeve perfectly, while its other end lets you magnetically mount any of the 9 hex bits that come with the OUTU.

Whether you’re looking for a handy multitool to fix stuff around the house, or an EDC to carry around while bicycling (just in case your ride needs fixing), or even if you want to add a nice tool to your workshop arsenal, the OUTU 6-in-1 Multitool makes for a rather compelling (and affordable) purchase!
