Short for EveryDayCarry, EDC includes everything you can\u2019t live without. While for most people it\u2019s their phone, spectacles, and AirPods\u2026 for the EDC community, it usually features tools that are integral to life and survival. These range broadly from knives for the outdoors as well as indoors, as well as multitools, camping equipment, stationery with a tactical touch (a pen that can also cut your seatbelt, perhaps), and even wallets that do a lot more than just storing cards and cash.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of EDC is that you might be able to get by without it, but having it on you just makes things a LOT easier. You don\u2019t know when you\u2019ll need a bottle opener or a screwdriver, but having one on hand can make a massive difference. To that end, all EDC tools focus on being carryable (that\u2019s what the C stands for, after all). They do this by either fitting multiple tools into a small form factor, or by being foldable.<\/p>\n<p>A good EDC focuses on the carry-ability, but doesn\u2019t compromise on function. It uses the finest materials, the most interesting and reliable mechanisms, and prioritizes durability \u2013 because if there\u2019s anything worse than NOT having your EDC on you, it\u2019s having an EDC that fails or breaks right when you need it the most in an emergency or tactical scenario.<\/p>\n<p>This list takes a look at some of the most noteworthy EDC brands, ranking them by variety, quality, performance, value, and overall consumer satisfaction.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_UZI_Knives\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.knifecountryusa.com\/store\/manufacturer\/222\/uzi-knives.html\">15.
