Let Us Know What You Think!

We at Everyday Carry had a big year in 2019: we released two new collaborations with Orbitkey and Manhattan Portage, quietly turned ten years old, and rolled out a bunch of changes to the site on top of all our new content. With 2020 under way we could use your help as we work on new products, features, and improvements on and off the site.

We're inviting all our readers and community members to fill out a short survey and offer honest feedback. To thank you for your time and dedication to making Everyday Carry better for you and your fellow EDCers, we're giving away a $250 Amazon gift card and a Carbon Fiber RIDGE Wallet to carry it in to one lucky participant. That's a $365 value for a few minutes of your day! We'll close the survey a week from now and announce the prize winner on this post next Friday morning.

Thanks for all the support so far. If you'd like to help us even more, feel free to take the survey at the link below.

CRKT Piet

If there’s one knife designer you should have on your radar by now, it’s Jesper Voxnaes. He’s the mastermind behind smash hit EDC knives like the CRKT Amicus and CRKT Pilar (which now sits as the 5th most popular knife on our site). This time around with the new CRKT Piet, he brings urban inspiration to his utilitarian design language, resulting in a sleeker, lighter, and slimmer knife than his past offerings. If you’ve been meaning to get your hands on a Voxnaes design to EDC in the city, the Piet might be right up your alley.

Even in this lighter weight, city-slicking knife, you can see Voxnaes’s utility-driven design language throughout. It starts with the choice of a glass reinforced-fiber polyamide handle that helps the Piet weigh in at just 2.5oz, which rides more comfortably in the pocket compared to a heavier knife like the 4.2oz CRKT Pilar. An enlarged thumbhole makes for easy one-handed deployment of its 2.69" blade. A plain edge and drop point blade shape offer versatility for most everyday cutting tasks, while a full finger choil and liner lock ensure control and security during hard use. Last but not least, 8Cr13MoV steel on the blade is low maintenance and performs well for the price, making it ideal for an everyday carry.

Other hallmark Voxnaes design details round out the knife as a solid EDC. A contrasting blue back spacer also has moderate jimping for extra grip in your palm. The polyamide handle features a subtle yet tactile textured pattern throughout for improved grip while keeping a low profile. Finally, a reversible pocket clip allows for tip up, ambidextrous carry and a lanyard hole enables quick retrieval from your pocket. You can pick up this new Voxnaes design for your EDC at the link below.

Trending: Kaweco AL Sport Black Night Edition

Kaweco is known for their student pens and pocket pens, and their AL Sport is arguably their most popular model for everyday carry. While they periodically come out with special editions and colors, the limited Black Night Edition marks the first time they have gone with an all blacked-out aesthetic. The aluminum matte black body with unaccented markings, blacked out metal finial, and black steel nib lets it slip in perfectly into Stealthy Saturday. Compact and robust, this German-made palm-sized fountain pen is just 4.1 inches closed, and has a octagonal-shaped screw-on cap for security and to prevent the pen rolling off tables or other surfaces. Posting the cap extends the full length to 5.2 inches, turning this mini pen into a comfortable jotter and notetaker. The aluminum body gives it some good weight in the hand and helps it survive daily wear and tear, and you can grab the optional pocket clip for a more secure carry. It comes with an ink catridge but you can also get Kaweco’s Mini Fountain Pen Converter so you can refill it with your own preferred brand and type of fountain pen ink. If you’re looking to carry a smooth-writing fountain pen that fits your all-black or tactical-themed EDC, grab the limited Kaweco AL Sport Black Night Edition now, available through the link below.

Trending: Fidgetland Bernie

For today's Fun Friday, we're taking a look at the trending Fidgetland Bernie, a compact fidget toy that's easy to carry thanks to its portable ring-like design. If you're unfamiliar with fidget toys, their key purpose is to help you focus by keeping your hands busy with repetitive, mechanical actions. You may have seen those that spin, some are designed to click with buttons, and some, in the case of the Bernie, are designed to roll and turn. Thanks to a double-layer roller design, the Bernie glides smoothly up and down your palm or a surface or lets you fidget with the larger set of rollers as they glide over the layer underneath. And with a stainless steel construction in 4 sizes, the Bernie is a fun tool that fits all sizes and preferences. Get spinning by picking one up at the link below.

Trending: Laguiole en Aubrac

Featuring a long, slender blade, equally slender handles, and an iconic "Shepherd's Cross" pin detail on the handle material, the classic French pocketknife, the laguiole, is as traditional as it gets for today's Traditional Thursday. But in spite of its slim profile, there are many details that let the knife stand out in addition to its iconic design. The Laguiole en Aubrac shown here offers a 3.9" 12C27 stainless steel blade polished to a high gloss, deployed via nail nick from its handles. These handles come shaped from horn tip, and are detailed with 2 stainless steel bolsters in addition to the 7-pin Shepherd's Cross design. Another iconic laguiole feature is its highly-detailed and handcrafted single-piece spring, ending in the bee/fly design to where the handle meets the blade. Last but not least, all Laguiole en Aubrac knives are made by a single knifemaker, who etches his personal emblem onto the spine of the knife's blade, guaranteeing authenticity and unique craftsmanship for your knife. Add this iconic French pocketknife (as well as its wealth of history) to your EDC at the link below.
