Deal Alert: 20% Off Hammerstone Goods Lip Balm

If you're not EDCing a tube of lip balm, you should—but we don't blame you. Most lip balms aren't as considered as the rest of your kit and aren't designed with EDC in mind. Hammerstone Goods, on the other hand, are different. They're natural lip balms designed for adventurous EDCers inside and out, from the ingredients list to the pocket-friendly packaging. If you've been on the hunt for another way to step up your daily routine, they have just what you need to get started, and as a special weekend deal, you can get 20% off their lip balms on Amazon.

While most people EDC lip balm for its intended purpose to prevent chapped lips, you can actually use it in a pinch during your outdoor adventures. In that same spirit of the outdoors, Hammerstone lip balms keep it natural. Their lip balms (available in Key Lime + Mint and Blood Orange + Mint flavors) use organic ingredients like vitamin E, sunflower oil, and hempseed oil for nourishing, natural protection.

And because these lip balms were made for EDCers, their pocket friendliness, ease of operation, and ergonomics were just as important. They come in an oval tube that keeps a lower profile in your pocket, is comfortable to hold and apply to your lips, and doesn't roll away when you set it down (just like you'd expect from your EDC pen or flashlight). Last but not least, the tube and label keep a blacked-out, minimalist aesthetic to fit right in with any EDC or dopp kit. Check out this special deal and add a set to your own self-care kit at the link below.

WESN Henry Titanium Slipjoint

In many ways, the traditional slipjoint knife reflects the times it was born in. Sometimes called “your grandfather’s knife,” slipjoints take it slower than modern EDC knives. They open more deliberately, with purpose, and with a clean, refined design that is as much a delight to use as it is easy to carry. But that doesn’t mean these traditional gent’s knives have to be stuck in the past. Knives like the WESN Henry Titanium Slipjoint show that traditions can be passed down and improved, and demonstrate that something classic, durable, and useful never goes out of style.

Taking a cue from the traditional slipjoints that originate as far back as the late 1800s in Northern Sweden, WESN uses a renowned blade steel from the same country, Sandvik 14C28N. This a high hardness, corrosion-resistant steel that withstands chipping and folding of the knife edge, making it a great choice for a blade meant not only to be carried everyday, but to be an heirloom as well.

The Swedish steel is shaped and milled into a 2.35” blade both utilitarian and elegant, combining the traditional sheepsfoot and drop point silhouettes into a profile that’s useful for everyday slicing tasks. The non-locking blade tucks into a 3” long lightweight titanium handle that keeps the entire knife palm-sized and weighing only 1.6 ounces. The handle comes with a hole for attaching a lanyard of your own,to help with grip, deployment, and adding a bit of your personal style.

If it’s time to add a compact, lightweight, and capable knife that crosses generations into your EDC, then the WESN Henry Titanium Slipjoint is worth a look. You can get your own in your choice of full titanium scales or one with dark Cherrywood inlays, including a leather sheath and lanyard bead from WESN’s fully funded Kickstarter campaign at the link below.

Trending: Buckshot Knives Cleaver

Taking utility cues from the ever-useful kitchen chopper, EDC cleavers take utility cues from the ever-useful kitchen chopper, and offer a unique, visually striking, and highly useful option when it comes to an everyday knife. And that's certainly the case with today's Saturday Slicer, the Buckshot Knives Cleaver. On top of being a sizable 3.5" 3CR13 steel, razor-style blade that can hold its own for chopping duty while also being easy enough to maintain, the blade itself comes with a prominent curve on its belly, allowing you to perform long, sweeping slices that add to its versatility. Dual thumbstuds offer ambidextrous deployment, while a liner lock in the stainless steel handles accented by wood inlays take care of lockup during use. Finally, an included clip lets you clip the Cleaver as needed. And the best part, if you've always wanted to try adding a cleaver to your carry, the Buckshot Knives Cleaver can be yours for a minimal investment. Check it out in 4 styles at the link below.

D01 Dapper Leather Pen Wallets

Organizing pen and paper in your EDC can often be a challenge: small items tend to get lost or damaged in the shuffle, especially when carried loose in your pockets. Plus, with limited space in your pockets anyways, consolidation is always a good thing. For instance, you already carry a wallet, but what if it could also hold a custom notebook and pen as well? That’s where something like the Dango D01 Dapper Leather Pen Wallet comes in handy. And with the new releases in fine whiskey brown, jet black and rawhide leathers, the D01 Dapper Leather Pen Wallet has never been easier to carry--and protect--these everyday essentials.

The D01 Dapper Leather Pen Wallet is a compact bifold front pocket that's been engineered for efficiency. For its compact size, there’s plenty of space, as each of the four pockets in the wallet accommodate up to four payment and identification cards (16 cards total). A grippy silicone band also offers a way to stow folded cash. While we've featured the wallet before in water-resistant DTEX material, there's something about classic leather that never goes out of style. From its unique handfeel to a patina personalized to its owner that develops over time, a leather wallet offers a timeless quality and durability. That durability extends to the CNC'd and anodized 6061 aerospace grade aluminum chassis of the wallet itself, setting it apart from the standard bifold and giving the D01 structure. And against digital threats, built-in RFID protection also helps keep your card information safe from fraudsters skimming for data in public spaces. Last but not least, you can pick up Dango’s separate MT02 multi-tool to further expand this wallet’s capabilities.

The other half of the bifold is dedicated to organizing your stationery. And while it’s compatible with many popular EDC pens and compact notebooks, Dango goes the extra mile by providing a custom pen and notebook with every purchase. The machined aluminum pen accommodates the ever-popular Fisher Space Pen refill as well as Schmidt 4889M ink refills, and slots perfectly into the spine of D01 to both reduce bulk and allow you to retrieve the pen without having to open up the wallet. And in case you’re the kind of person who constantly loses their pen, an integrated lanyard hole helps with retention for both the pen and the wallet itself. The included notebook is no slouch either, with 48 dot-grid pages bound together with red stitching by hand and placed within a thick quality cover, itself protected by the rest of the leather and aluminum.

If jotting down notes and ideas is an essential part of your day, the D01 Dapper Leather Pen Wallet is a complete starter kit that lets easily consolidate and carry. And even if you already have a notebook and pen as a part of your EDC, the smart design of this package lets you consolidate them into an all-in-one solution that saves space in your pockets while being immensely useful and functional at the same time.

Trending: Olight Perun

For this week’s Flashlight Friday, we take a look at Olight’s latest iteration of the right angle multi-pupose light, the Perun. Designed to be mounted on the included band as a headlamp, the light features a clear TIR optic that provides a soft flood of light for great visibility at short distances. Its Proximity Protection Function features a built-in infrared distance sensor that automatically lowers the output level when it detects an obstruction nearby (or when you don’t want to blind yourself by putting a hand in front of your face). While these features make it a useful headlamp, the Olight Perun is also designed to be a competent light for everyday use. At 4.41” long and 1.02” thick, IPX-8 water resistant aluminum body is very EDC-friendly. The stainless steel pocket clip and a magnetic base combined with the right angle head, provide you lots of ways to carry, attach, and use this light. The Perun is powered by Olight’s own 3500mAh 18650 battery that allows the Cree XHP50.2 cool white LED a maximum output of 2,000 lumens. No need to remove the battery for charging, as the brand’s new and more efficient MCC3 magnetic charging cable is included in the kit as well. Check out this highly functional, multi-purpose EDC light at the link below.
