I really can’t tell you how often I’ve needed a knife and didn’t have one and how often I used a knife when I finally did. If you’ve been waiting for just the right everyday carry (EDC) knife, I can’t recommend Kershaw knives enough. In design, function, and weight they’re an absolute favorite. And their…

File this one under “why didn’t I think of that?” Created by ‘Eric and Angela,’ a husband and wife team with a love for all things outdoors and product design, Firefly is a brilliant replacement for the near-useless ‘toothpick’ accessory that comes standard with the Swiss Army Knife. Using the same form factor as the…

Ever since man first learned to slice something with a blade, there have been countless designs and re-designs of the  traditional every day carry (EDC) knife. There are knives which can be customized to fit your design needs, knives that stick to the fridge, those the size of a man’s arm (and cut one off, at…

Don’t you just hate it when your keys jangle in your pocket? Jingle-jangle-jingle, here comes Bob. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to let complete strangers know I have more keys than a night-shift janitor. Jingle… jangle. Who knew that after years of restless jangling, the simple solution is a spring to…

For the hardcore pen fanatics out there, the ability to accommodate a particular type of ink refill can make or break the purchase of an otherwise perfect pen. Further, few people enjoy being locked into a propitiatory refill—forced to buy only one particular kind of ink. Enter the Ti Pocket Pro—a titanium pen that adjusts…

Admittedly, I am a multi-tool user as probably most engineers are no matter what field they are in and I can say with certainty that not all multi-tools are the same. I’ve owned a Leatherman Sidekick, a Gerber Multi-Plier 600 (needlnose) and a SOG S66N and while they all are great in their own…

I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten your hand on a CRKT folding knife, but they are by far one of the highest quality knives on the market. The CRKT Ken Onion knife I have is my favorite, but the CRKT Argus by award winning knife designer, Matthew Lerch, looks tough. Especially with the black…

While it’s easy to overlook, having a favorite pen in your pocket to take to meetings or just around the office can be just one more of life’s small pleasures. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find a pen to stick with for the long haul that both fits your budget and feels right when…

Whether we’re at work or just going out on the town, we all carry some items with us–a wallet, a smartphone or even a pocketknife. If you’re like me, that knife goes everywhere with you, but I must admit, my Benchmade Adamas is a little too big to be classified as EDC (Everyday Carry). For…
