It's been a while, but I finally got around to snapping a pic of my new EDC. I was never a fan of the knife/multitool combination, but after carrying them, I don't think I can go back. The simple duo really does everything I need from breaking down boxes, instrument maintenance, and even cutting up my lunch. Working in a hospital, all time is documented in military time, and it's incredibly handy to have a watch with 24-hour markings. Also, I just think the Hamilton is a great looking timepiece. The leather pieces in my kit (watch strap and keychain) were handmade by myself, using scrap leather from the local leather shop. For about $2, I made a full-grain leather strap that is way more durable that the leather straps I was buying online. The flashlight is the super tiny CooYoo Quantum. Working inside, I don't need the sun in my pocket, just enough to look inside the instruments and under my desk. As a bonus, it's rechargeable via a built-in micro-USB port. The pen and wallet are slick aluminum pieces from Machine Era Co. Finally, the carbineer is admittedly a bit of pocket frosting, but I couldn't help myself, it looks too damn cool.

Really nice strap on that Hamilton! I've got the same but with a yellow dial. It's a fine and sturdy wristwatch!

No lie man i might have to do one similar to yours. How do you have them set up in your pockets?

Left pocket: flashlight and wallet
Right pocket: pen, phone, and knife (L to R)
Right back pocket: Cadet
The oddball for a while was my pen. I tried keeping it in the back pocket for a while, but as soon as it went horizontal, it got uncomfortable. Keeping it next to my phone keeps everything nice and vertical. Hope that helps!
