With a penchant for traditional blades, William (@the_finest_tradition) carries 2 different Buck knives on a daily basis.

A modern working man, Josh (@wanderer.edc) is a General Fitter in the Distribution Field of Natural Gas, which means he's the 1st responder to gas leaks, carbon monoxide calls, and line hits. As such, he knows the importance of being prepared and the value of having the best tools for the job. Read on to find out how Josh first got addicted to knives, and what he has next on his razor-sharp gear radar. 

A manufacturing engineer by day and tinkerer by night, Max (@gondekedc) is so obsessed with EDC that he began designing and making his own tools.

Maarten (@nerdism_edc) is a nerd in the best way possible. When he was trying to find out what knife works best for him, Maarten bought hundreds (yes, hundreds) of production knives to use and test.

So, read on to find out all about Maarten and his carefully curated everyday carry tools.

Originally from Seattle, Peter (@hellgatesupply) made the switch from the Emerald City to the Big Sky Country when he moved to Missoula, Montana.

Read on to learn all about Peter’s intriguing story and find out how what has changed most about his everyday carry.
