My Everyday Carry

submitted by Jim R

Nice site! Here is the low-down on my EDC:

• Prescription glasses with a titanium frame.
• Droid X. It is amazing what all a smart phone can do.
• Casio G-Shock watch.
• Wallet with Faraday cage built in. I have a credit card with a RFID chip.
• Hinderer titanium Investigator pen.
• Hinderer XM-18 3.5”, partially serrated blade, black DLC coated.
• Sunwayman V10R titanium flashlight, variable brightness LED.
• Keychain with paracord lanyard, Gerber Shard, LED light, SAK Classic, Swiss Tools key shaped multitool, keys.

Editor’s Note: Wow, awesome Hinderers and light. Nice rugged watch too. My only suggestion would be to maybe clean up the keychain a little bit — it looks like you could benefit from a larger main split ring and maybe more clips (like McGizmo) especially for your car key, and remove some of those extraneous split rings between items. I also don’t really see the need for the Utilikey if you have a SAK classic, I think the SAK outperforms the utilikey in every way.* I think some small changes to that would help clean up your keychain and make it carry better in your pocket. Thanks for sharing!

*Correction: It was brought to my attention that the Classic lacks many of the drivers and the bottle opener that the Utilikey has, but more feature-filled 58mm SAKs like the Manager or Minichamp cover those bases, as does Jim’s Gerber Shard.
