Find Your Next EDC with Monthly Knife Club

So you want a new everyday carry knife, but you don’t know where to start. The good news is that there’s tons of options out there, and there’s plenty of ways to find one that’s right for you. The bad news it that the sheer number of options can be just plain daunting. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds, spending more time researching your next purchase rather than just getting down to it. That’s where Monthly Knife Club comes in, bringing you a subscription box service geared specifically for people looking for their next EDC knife. And whether you’re a newcomer to the scene or a seasoned veteran looking for a nice surprise to round out your collection, the Monthly Knife Club has a lot to offer.

For a low monthly price starting at 25 dollars, Monthly Knife Club will send you a quality everyday carry knife in the mail, letting you skip the research part and get right to using your new EDC. And the gear you get every month won’t disappoint, as Monthly Knife Club’s offerings feature the same trusted production EDC knifemakers you know and trust. You can even take a look at what they’ve sent out in the past to help gauge your own interest. There are also different subscription box tiers, as well as a category for users who prefer to EDC a fixed blade knife. If you up the commitment a bit, you gain access to high-end designs, with some great tactical gear thrown in as well.

PRIM Modular Urban Bags

Adapting to what you need at any particular moment is a quality of any solid EDC, and it’s why multi-tools are so popular. But EDC isn't just about what you carry, it's about how you do it too—and finding a similar level of adaptability in a single bag that's still suitable for daily carry is a tall order. That's why the team at Creatio Design went with a divide and conquer approach when building out their PRIM bag system. Rather than having a single, bulky bag that forces you to carry your gear in one particular way, they've developed a modular system constructed from tactical performance materials with a “less is more” philosophy to let you carry only what you need, when you need it. The collection of three swappable bags can mix-and-match to hit the sweetspot of capacity and portability your carry needs, while their robust internal organization consolidates everything in a streamlined way.

If you find yourself constantly emptying and repacking your bag every time you leave the house, then the PRIM line of bags might be for you. The low-key, all-black design is perfect for the urban commuter, and the tough build should hold up to your morning commute with no problem. Forgetting your umbrella in a rainstorm isn't the end of your gadgets either thanks to the water resistant Cordura 500D exterior and watertight YKK zippers that keep the contents of your bag dry. Plus, the ergonomic backload system curves to the shape of your back and has a few nifty features of its own. Take the breathable padding which helps you avoid a sweaty back during long days, or the hidden RFID pocket which provides added security in unfamiliar places. Then there's how many different ways you can carry your gear. Whether you want to carry a traditional backpack, something smaller with a chest rig, or something more ergonomic with their sling configuration, these bags can handle it all.

The versatility doesn’t end with how you carry either. All the bags take inspiration from military-style modularity while remaining true to the company’s less is more beliefs. You won’t have any issues with internal organization thanks to mesh pockets and plenty of compartments, and the outside is MOLLE compatible for even more customization. The entire line consists of five different bags that you can mix and match depending on your needs. The base models are the Y13 or Y15 bags, and they vary only in size depending on whether your laptop is 13” or 15”. The next size down is the X11 and XS11 pouches which are handy on their own, but become something special when you consider how they can be quickly mounted to the base pack. One pouch that holds your tablet and a few charging cables throughout the week can be easily swapped after work for another that holds some toiletries and travel essentials for a quick weekend away. The last is the belt/leg pack, which is perfect for when pockets aren’t enough and you just need to hold a few extra items without carrying an entire bag all day. It can also be worn as a mini sling bag as a convenient, minimalist option for when you're traveling light.

If you’re tired of lugging around large bags for just a few extra items, the PRIM collection might be for you. It helps streamline your gear into your most-used kits for a more grab-and-go approach to EDC. For a closer look at the campaign make sure to click the link below.

Fenix E30R

With a long history of making solid and popular flashlights for EDC, Fenix know a thing or two about making a reliable light. And when given the platform for an 18650 battery—one of the most versatile cells for flashlights—the light they make is distilled down to a simple and efficient machine. Fenix’s E30R is every bit the modern flashlight, with the power and features you’ve come to expect with a few unique features that remove any doubt as to its place in your pocket.

The first thing to notice about the E30R is its size. At under only 3.9“ long it’s barely larger than the 2.5” 18650 that powers it, making it easy to carry in both hand and pocket. But don’t be fooled by its size—thanks to its Luminus SST40 LED it’s able to push out up to 1600 lumens on Turbo along with 5 other modes including Strobe and a 30-lumen Eco mode with a 70-hour runtime. A single side switch handles operation, while doubling as a battery indicator.

Speaking of battery, the E30R’s other key feature is its magnetic charging. Rather than adding additional length by placing the charging mechanism in the tailcap, it’s instead integrated on the opposite side of the side switch. An included magnetic charging cable terminates in USB, making it convenient to top up the light using the rest of your existing tech, taking about 3 hours to charge the included 3500mAh battery up to full.

Daily carry shouldn’t be a problem for the light thanks to its IP68-rated anodized aluminum housing, with an included bezel-up clip for ease of attachment to a pocket or bag webbing. The clip even acts as a kind of “hardware lock” by simply twisting it so it sits over the side switch to prevent any accidental activation. No matter how you carry, its 1.8 oz weight without the battery is light enough in the pocket for an easy EDC.

If you’ve been on the fence about adding an 18650 light to your EDC, there’s little excuse to pick the Fenix E30R as your next one. Check it out at the Amazon link below.

BOLDR Supply Co. Venture Field Watch

If you check what's on an EDCer's wrist, there's a good chance it'll be a field watch. This style is especially popular among the everyday carry crowd, and for good reason: field watches are simple, durable, reliable, and just plain work. BOLDR Supply Co. put their own unique spin on the classic field watch with their new “Venture” model. Designed to be a near-unbreakable watch, the Venture outfits a tried-and-true military design with a light and rugged titanium case. The rest of its specs are set to impress too, especially for a watch that'll run you less than $150. To sweeten the deal, Everyday Carry readers can save an additional 15% with an exclusive promo code.

Typically, you don’t get as much utility out of a budget watch in terms of both features and materials. That isn't the case with the Venture as it forgoes the cheaper, commonly used brass or steel cases for a solid, aerospace-grade titanium build. The result is a lightweight and durable watch that can take a beating. A modern (and more interesting) case design really makes the watch stand out from other field watches. For example, the lugs sport some interesting angularity that brings a rugged, industrial look to the otherwise softened edges of the round case. The well-balanced proportions tie everything together visually, with the watch measuring in at a versatile 38mm case diameter, 45mm lug-to-lug width, and a low profile 11mm height.

Inside the watch, there’s a reliable Swiss-made ETA Quartz movement with up to three years of battery life. The Venture continues to punch above its price range with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating for optimal legibility. Its uncluttered dial is easy to read in low-light conditions as well, thanks to a generous application of luminous paint to the hands and hour markers. Throughout your adventures, you’ll appreciate the ample 100m of water resistance, and durable nylon strap, complete with matching titanium hardware.

The Venture is available in two attractive finishes. You can snag the watch in a brushed matte titanium or a Jet Black version with DLC coating. If you want to add one to your collection, there’s no better time than now. You can save 15% off your order by entering the code “BOLDRXEDC” at checkout at the link below.
