Every day, readers like you proudly share photos of their everyday carry on the site.

Not only is looking through their pockets this way super interesting, but it's also a great way to find really cool gear you never even knew existed (yet somehow, suddenly need…).

When you hover over an item you like and click on it in these photos, you're also letting other EDCers know you find that gear interesting. Each click gets recorded to create a data-driven ranking of the most popular gear, which you can find in our Gear section of the site found in the top menu bar.

Gear with the most views and clicks climbs its way to the top of this feed and lets the EDC community know what's trending right this second.

This past June you were digging a one-of-a-kind copper coin, a unique compact multi-tool, and an iconic dive watch. Let's take a look at all the gear you were most interested in…

The Hunstman is one of Victorinox’s most popular Swiss Army Knives and for a good reason: a rich feature makes it practical for both outdoor adventures and for EDC. You have access to a 3.6" long Sandvik stainless steel knife, perfect for everyday cutting tasks. It also comes with a wood saw, which allows you to cut through branches, ropes, and small pieces of wood when you go hiking or camping. The addition of a pair of scissors allows you to do more delicate and precise cuts if needed. But the practicality doesn’t stop there—you get 12 other functions to help you out. It features two different screwdrivers, a can opener, a bottle opener, a smaller blade, Victorinox’s signature toothpick and tweezers and even a corkscrew to open up a nice bottle of wine during a picnic, just to name a few.

The Copper Moon Coin from Shire Post Mint is a one-of-a-kind item, made out of 14 grams of solid copper, stamped with both faces of the moon. And since its solid copper, with time, it’ll develop a beautiful patina to further enhance its look. Each coin from Shire Post Mint is struck one at a time using antique techniques, so each coin is literally unique even though they might have the same design. This moon design was made by combining laser-engraving using NASA’s files of the moon’s surface and good old hand-engraving, to bring out its most iconic details.

Seiko is known for their quality automatic movement watches which, in addition to looking and performing well, remain at an affordable price. The Seiko SNE331 is no exception, a bold timepiece with large, legible numbers and a solar powered movement designed for the long haul. It starts off with a 43mm stainless steel case, featuring a black ion finish, ideal for small to medium sized wrists. Contrasting against the case is an all-black dial with stencil-like numbers in tan, meant to complement the nylon strap and give a military-inspired look. All the numbers and indices have been coated with LumiBrite paint for low light legibility. Inside the watch is a caliber V158 movement powered by solar light. That’s right, the SNE331 doesn’t need a replaceable battery, instead it converts light into energy and has a power reserve of up to 10 months. Finally, a screwdown caseback and a hardlex mineral crystal give it a water resistance of up to 100 meters.

The CRKT Techliner is a tough and technically-designed pen with a few tricks up its sleeve that could make it worth the spot in your work bag or shirt pocket. Constructed with lightweight and durable 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, it weighs only 1.4 ounces, making it a joy to carry and write with while being tough enough to hang with the rest of your gear. The ergonomic body has a machined grip section that offers a comfortable and secure hold when in use. Plus, it features the signature magnetic cap system from its upscale inspiration, the original Ti2 Design TechLiner: both ends use magnets to secure the cap from loss during transit and use, as well as allows the pen to stick on metallic surfaces, useful in some work environments (and fun in others!). Beyond skin deep, it comes with the popular Fisher Space Pen cartridge, giving you write-anywhere capability. If you’re looking for a robust and unique pen for EDC, the CRKT Techliner is well worth a look.

The new and improved Clip is now all-metal and built from zinc alloy, smooth with a wide gate for quick attachment. But it’s the Fidlock magnetic quick-release system connecting the Clip v2’s two components where the real magic happens. A simple tug on the D-ring side’s tab disengages the magnet and gives you instant access to your keys without having to unclip the whole system from your bag or clothing. And when you’re done, the magnets pull the lock securely back into place. With the way the two components are designed, the tab only pulls one way to disengage, so you can rest assured that the two won’t come apart accidentally. Clip, tug, open, and re-attach: it’s as simple as a keychain can get, while still offering complete and convenient functionality.

Sometimes we need a little help to get our stuff in order, and that’s exactly what the Topo Designs Micro Accessory Bag is designed for. At 4.75" x 3.25", the Micro holds the smallest pieces of gear you might carry in your day to day, keeping them all in one spot for easy retrieval, in colorful designs for easy identification, too. It’s made out of 1000D nylon, which is weather resistant, with an interior lined with 210D nylon pack cloth for easy cleaning. Last but not least, a paracord zipper pull on its YKK zipper makes the bag easy for regular use.

The Gerber Armbar Drive tosses its hat into the ring with a compact form factor reminiscent of folding pocket knives, a usable fine edge, and an extendable bit driver. The aluminum handle holds a 2.5" blade that deploys via thumbhole and is held in place by a sturdy framelock. The rest of the tools fold out in the same fashion: an awl, a pair of scissors, and a bit driver. The bit driver extends all the way out, turning the Armbar into a short screwdriver that allows you to reach places where bit drivers of other multi-tools won’t. The included two-sided bit gives you both flat and Philips screwdriver heads. The reinforced tail end of the handle functions as an impromptu hammer, and this piece opens up to give you a combination prybar and bottle opener. All this in a package that’s 3.625" closed and 3.1 ounces, making the Gerber Armbar Drive a great pocket carry.

The 602 Tengu Tool was developed as a partnership between Benchmade and designer Jared Oeser who brings his talents to both this and the 601 Tengu Flipper knife. The Tengu Tool carries the design language of its bigger brother, including the tanto blade profile and the stark, dual-colored G10 handles. But the blade is where the Tool sets itself apart: pulling it out of its included leather carry sleeve in its closed position, you’re greeted by a bottle opening tool tipped with a pry/scraper. Pushing on this tang like a front flipper deploys the 1.14“ tanto blade. Since this is a friction folder there’s no detent to get in the way of opening and closing, so it’s a smooth transition to access either tool. And since this is a premium tool designed for work on either end, Crucible CPM-20CV steel was chosen for its top tier toughness and edge retention.

To give you a better listening experience, Sudio integrated a graphene driver into their Tolv earphones. This means that you have access to a more dynamic range of sounds and tones: the quiet parts will be enjoyable, the loud parts will be clearer, and you get to experience the full range of pitch from song to song. Another great feature is their extended battery life. The case you use to carry the earphones—which have a 7-hour charge themselves—can actually hold a charge, so you’ll have a total of 35 hours of runtime with them combined. To add the final touch of convenience, these earphones also have a built-in microphone for a seamless transition into calls from your media, even while on the move.

The Seamaster 300M Master Chronometer released in 2018 brings the watch from the silver screen into your own personal spy story. Its centerpiece is its blue ceramic dial, sporting a beautiful, laser engraved wave pattern. Its hands and markers feature a chromed edge for a more eye-pleasing look, treated with Super-LumiNova paint for low-light visibility. This version of the Seamaster features a “Master Chronometer,” which is visible through the watch’s caseback. Compared to the original 1993 version, this one sits taller, so it’s less likely for the crown to dig into your wrist. The stainless steel 42mm case sports a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for extra protection. On top of this case, you’ll find a uni-directional aluminum bezel with a luminous point at the 12 o’clock position. At its heart is an in-house automatic movement, powering the watch, the chronometer, and the date complication at the 6 o’clock position. A 300M water resistance gives the Seamaster the seafaring capability of its namesake.
