Top 5 EDC Knives that bring a tactical and essential edge to every guy’s outdoor toolkit

Posted on by

Thanks to being cooped up indoors for so long, camping has become a popular escape from the hustle and bustle of life, even if it actually means “glamping” in luxury. But even if you’re not the outdoorsy type, you will have undoubtedly come across some task or problem where scissors just won’t cut it, pun intended. Knives can do a lot more than you might think, but any old blade isn’t going to be enough, especially if you want to bring it anywhere you might need such a sharp tool. For this reason, tactical knives of all shapes, sizes, and mechanisms have become popular additions to some people’s everyday carries, but the wide variety available in the market can be daunting and confusing. To help make the choice a little easier, we gathered five of the best EDC knives from Tekto that will help you cut through any problem with power and finesse.

Titanium accents, custom pivots, and a machined clip give it a stylish appearance that will make it the pride of your EDC collection.

Lightweight – The F2 Bravo weighs only 2.4oz (68g) and comes in two different handle materials best known for their lightness and extreme durability, Forged Carbon and G10.

There will always come a time when you need to cut or pierce something, and you’re left scrambling for something sharp or pointed in your bag, usually a key. A folding knife might come to mind, but it might just not fit your style to have a rough-looking and unwieldy thing in your everyday carry. That’s probably just because you haven’t met the debonair knife that is the Tekto F2 Bravo.

Ceramic Ball Bearings – The state-of-the-art ceramic ball bearing mechanism allows the F2 Bravo to deploy the blade rapidly and smoothly with the utmost ease.

Just one look at this knife, and you immediately know that it isn’t your typical cutting tool. The minimalist handle, made which comes in Forged Carbon and G10 variants, is lightweight, durable, and wastes no space with unnecessary curves and protrusions that make holding the knife less comfortable. Titanium accents on the custom pivot, machined clip, and milled spacer add to the tool’s high-end appearance that perfectly complements the premium design of the knife.

Titanium Accents – With its custom pivot, machined clip, and milled spacer, the F2 Bravo exemplifies a premium, high-end feel that uniquely matches the look and feel of the knife.

The F2 Bravo isn’t just all looks, though. Its drop point blade is made of strong D2 steel, ready to cut through anything with precision. More importantly, this blade opens and closes quickly thanks to long-lasting ceramic ball bearings that ensure the knife keeps its smooth motion for a very long time. With its lightweight 68g body and ergonomic recessed liners, the F2 Bravo gives you the confidence to face the task at hand.

Tactical knives don’t need to look like frightening weapons that only a few can wield. A well-thought and timeless design can go a long way to turn even such a rugged tool into a premium product. With its modern and minimalist looks, its smooth-deploying blade, and its lightweight but durable body, the Tekto F2 Bravo is not only a knife that anyone can use but also a tool that everyone will want to add to their EDC kit.

The unique hinge mechanism on this EDC pocket knife makes it an absolute delight

Posted on by

Inspired by the hinge detail on their popular Provoke Karambit line, the Provoke EDC by Joe Caswell for CRKT brings the same opening mechanism to the traditional spear-point pocket knife. The knife features an aluminum handle with an anodized finish, a D2 steel blade, and CRKT’s signature Kinematic™ opening style that makes the Provoke such an object of beauty.

Designer: Joe Caswell for CRKT

The Provoke’s all-metal design instantly gives it a sense of rugged reliability. Hold it in your hand and play around with it for a bit and you soon realize it’s a highly-capable serious piece of EDC that’s designed to function really well under even demanding conditions. The Kinematic™ mechanism lets you deploy the knife with a single thumb, revealing the 2.5-inch satin-finish D2 blade that has remarkably high resistance to wear and tear, making it perfect for using as an EDC both indoors as well as outdoors (I wouldn’t limit the Provoke to just opening boxes – it’s capable of doing much more). The spear-point edge gives it a nice curved blade that’s great for slicing as well as cutting with a rocking motion, as you would with a good chef knife. The pointed tip makes it great for piercing bags, tearing through sealed boxes, or cutting into harder materials like wood.

“We think of designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist”, mentioned the folks at CRKT. “When we got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the original Provoke®, we knew he was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen.”

The Provoke EDC’s a compact little device, measuring just 4.6 inches when closed, and 7.2 inches when open. The EDC weighs a paltry 3.60 oz. (102.06 g) and comes with a finger-loop in the handle for doing knife-tricks, and a pocket clip built flush into the finger loop rim, so you can carry the Provoke with you wherever you go. The Provoke EDC starts at $175 and comes in a bright electric blue finish.
