My pocket EDC for most of this month (see previous two months). I managed to lose the little blue cricket, but picked up a Zippo Street Chrome and a cheap peanut-type lighter. Now I need a way to carry fuel for these lighters.
The survival bracelet in the corner is something I've been wearing for months, but I kept forgetting to include it in the picture - now it's finally in there.
I carry more stuff (SAK, FAK, another light, spare batteries, etc.) in my bag, but that's for whole other set of images.
There are enough tools on this blue mini multi tool to escape the Monday blues. Pliers, screwdriver, saw, knife and scissors should enable the user to escape.
Just needed another nice sharp knife around the house.. sitting beside my lounge chair at the moment. (now elsewhere) Next to the Leatherman Juice S2 which doesn’t have a toothpick or twizzers!
It has only one blade, a good one, and solid pair of scissors.
which you get at by opening the can-opener-bottle opener combo. No wire stripper or CORKSCREW!
It has a few screwdrivers and Phillips head
Now it is my #edc in the #theAirpocket... replaced in June 2024 by a new Explorer..
this is NOT the one bought in Switzerland with #Helga2004
A quote from a Fav post… Merely cutting out thin slices of life - with the blades of my aperture
. What and Where Is the Swiss one? In the kitchen... (see below in comments)
It has WAC scratched beside the corkscrew on the side panel to the reamer…
the new one has a Phillips head screwdriver, not a corkscrew.. Called The Tinker…
See new image below in comments, at end.
Now I have just bought another small one with a Phillips head screwdriver but no scissors for the handbag, leaving the one with scissors for the mail in the kitchen.. 30-12-22.
the Tinker..

My EDC (Every Day Carry) items - mouse over the image for labels. I also have a SAK, another light, and spare batteries in a bag that I have with me most of the time.
I didn't include my phones and my wallet, but I have them pretty much all the time too.
I used to have a lighter, but it died on me and I'm still looking for a suitable replacement. I'm also on the lookout for a small pen and a small compass. Eventually, I'll probably add a knife (not a multi-tool or a SAK) to this collection, and maybe replace the LD10 with a stronger, slightly larger light.
UPDATE 2010.03.18: added a knife, lighter, and a few more knots to the kit
a present from my daughter is this handy wallet sized tool that features 18 functions, which i still need to verify. ah, the 21st century, is certainly is an innovative and consumer society . i wonder what will come out next

So bloody stiff and hard to open just to get the blade out...
Aaaarrrghhh
In all my 2-3 million miles or kilometres of #FlickrSpelio #bushwalking, #SUSScaving, #WASGcaving, #RMLAIDForest life or #GSWANullarbor work, travel #roundAUstraliawithSpelio or in the UK or Europe in #Helga2004, where I bought a #SAKTinker in Switzerland or in #mtus, where I bought the #juiceS2, I never needed a #SAKedc or #Leatherman as I always had a couple of fully equipped toolboxes of #remotegearlist and a trusty #sheathknife.
Amazing craftsmanship…

Another view of the lanyard. Although I was watching TV while tying, it still took much longer to make than I thought it would...

After several years, untold number of tin cans opened, hospital machines fixed in the spot, trips to the beach, the mountain, and everything in between, this little tool has proved so helpful. Once, a fishhook piercing a kid's ear was removed with the wire cutter at ER. Not without leaving a nick in the jaws, damn hook was hard (it was an Eagle Claw, the father told me)...
Después de varios años de uso, incontables latas abiertas, maquinas de hospital reparadas allí mismo, viajes de la playa a la montaña, Esta pequeña herramienta ha probado ser tan útil. Una vez, un anzuelo de pesca fue removido de la oreja de un chico en Urgencias, no sin antes quedar con una marca bastante fea (¡la herramienta!) en el filo del corta alambres. Estaba durísimo el maldito anzuelo. Después el papa me dijo que era de la marca Eagle Claw….
Even more than my Leatherman Juice A2. Even has a small screwdriver wound into the corkscrew. Very difficult to open all the tools at once. Need to use the screwdriver from the #Alox7 to avoid breaking a thumbnail…
Not many medium to large knives have the file but this one does.
The nearest model with file with these features, plus a hook, is the Mountaineer, B-1.3743 which I added to my collection on my Victorinox Account.
See an interesting sak blog here..
I got this when I was a freshman in college, and have pretty much carried it ever since. If almost any of my friends were asked to describe the contents of my pockets, this would likely be the first thing listed. This is the Victorinox Fieldmaster, and see notes for a description of each tool.
Most things went well. This was a long ride and there was a lot of riding and shepherding. I didn't really take time to do many other things, like look for pictures to take.
Things I didn't use:
Spare Cord
Handwarmers
Water Treatment Tablets
Coil Lock
Tripod
Folding Bowl
Cutting Sheet
TP Kit
Tequila
Things I underutilized:
Folding Stool
Multitool
Flashlight
I really would have been better off with a no stove set up. Cook some hotdogs on the fire maybe but cooking dinner was not fun when I was that tired. My coffee in the morning could have easily been a can of coffee too. I felt to rushed to leave camp I tossed the remainder of my coffee so I could pack the stove and go.
Nice to have good sharp blades and a pair of scissors for #everydaycarry #edcknives from #victorinox #myvictorinoxedc hashtags on Instagram. #SAKAlox #SAKAloxFarmer

Alox and SAK history...

The Alox models, as well as being slightly longer, have thicker tools, and a stronger construction (wider rivets), than their 91mm cousins, additionally, the Alox handles are much tougher than Cellidor, so this family is designed for harder use than the Cellidor models. In fact, in the early days the Pioneer was known as the Sturdy Boy and even up until roughly 2017 the Pioneer series was labelled as the Sturdy Models on the Victorinox website.
From Google Bard…
Victorinox makes Alox knives using a process called **deep drawing**. Deep drawing is a metal forming process that uses a punch and die to create a three-dimensional shape from a flat sheet of metal.
The first step in making an Alox knife is to cut a sheet of aluminum to the desired size. The sheet is then placed in a deep drawing die, which has the shape of the knife's handle. The punch is then pressed into the sheet, forcing it to conform to the shape of the die.
Once the handle is formed, the blade is inserted into the handle. The blade is held in place by a rivet, which is pressed into the handle. The rivet is then peened, which is a process of hammering it to expand it and lock it in place.
The final step is to anodize the knife. Anodizing is a process that creates a protective layer on the surface of the metal. This layer helps to protect the knife from corrosion and wear.
Here are the steps in more detail:
1. **Cutting the sheet metal:** The first step is to cut a sheet of aluminum to the desired size. The sheet is typically 0.8mm thick.
2. **Deep drawing the handle:** The next step is to deep draw the handle. This is done by placing the sheet metal in a deep drawing die and then pressing it into the shape of the die with a punch.
3. **Inserting the blade:** Once the handle is formed, the blade is inserted into the handle. The blade is held in place by a rivet, which is pressed into the handle.
4. **Peening the rivet:** The rivet is then peened, which is a process of hammering it to expand it and lock it in place.
5. **Anodizing the knife:** The final step is to anodize the knife. Anodizing is a process that creates a protective layer on the surface of the metal. This layer helps to protect the knife from corrosion and wear.
The Alox knife is a popular choice for EDC knives because it is durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant. The deep drawing process used to make Alox knives ensures that they are strong and reliable. The anodizing process also helps to protect the knives from the elements.

From our point of view , sitting on our fishing kayak , Loch Lomond is truly a remarkable place to go . The loch is 26 miles long with many areas to explore .Today we tried the top end . Finding the water from the roadside is a total mission , small trek through woodland area , muddy holes along we pull our loaded kayaks . I met up with Dan and Dec , good friend of mine , and it’s always good to catch up with them .Small group kayak fishers can always share their experience and we learn from each other .Winter is over now , with still patchy snow on the hilltop , today the easterly wind is cutting across , little cold still and rather blustery .We paddle on into wilderness .The lure box is full , today we are targeting pike .Our little spot is scenic to say the least and the company is good .We paddle and drift , casting and retrieving our lures in different depth hoping for a mighty take .The water is still cold with no activity . A few hours later Dan decide to stop for a bit of lunch .Propulsing his kayak onto the shore trying to make a safe landing .Every thing go pear shape now with that blustery wind and we have a mayday .It’s a roll over in two feet of water , just enough to chill your bones .Nothing to worry about , a cold dip . However it is always best to keep all equipment in sealed containers , phones and camera especially .Disaster yes but we still have a laugh .Dan’s three piece spinning rod became a travel rod in no time , at least 6 broken piece now with no chance to fix ! Poor Dan headed back soon after calling it a day .Dec and I carried on fishing for a while still hoping for a single take , just one single fish would make our day .With no luck whatsoever we both headed back in . And then we came across this human left over , the dirty truth .The dirty truth is the so call anglers leaving a big mess in our scenic Scotland .We found a bag , a huge industrial bag full of leftover including rotten dead bait , empty can of beers , leftover wood to burn , fishing lines and hooks , half empty bottle of buckfast , rusty knife set and dying multitools .Those folks have been lucky enough to enjoy this beautiful part of the world and unfortunately they made a mess of it .Enjoy the countryside , keep your wrappers in your pocket , leave no fishing lines (that endanger wildlife ) Leave nothing but footprint .Yes simply , in those wild scenic areas , please leave nothing but footprint .You can do it .Do it , do it …..Small Video here youtu.be/nhDFdzewL3I
On special from Amazon Au arrived after a couple of days 27th Sep 2024 have put a needle in the pinhole. Another handy small 2-layer #SAKedc to have around or in a pocket. 100647 on the toothpick…
Resting on the 4-layer #SAKHuntsman which has it all and the saw and scissors..
My #SAKTinker in the office has the Philips head driver (much more useful) instead of the now-useless corkscrew. Still has a pin...
Think I will use the Spartan in the office..
This is the May 2010 edition of my pocket EDC. You might also want to see the images from the previous three months.
The changes I've made from April's kit are (1) moving the cheap peanut-type lighter to the bag, and (2) adding some pepper spray. Everything else is pretty much the same.
Orange ITW Nexus TAC Link with a 3 pass gaucho knot, tied with 2mm navy blue cord around the gate, and a hank of navy blue paracord on the carabiner.
The knot is tied and tightend up on the thinner section of the carabiner's gate, so it's gonna stay put where it is. But, you could make the knot so that it fits around the hinge or latch section of the carabiner, with the knot just tight enough to friction fit in place, you could then use the as a slider lock. A strategic application of krazy glue secures the trimmed/tucked ends of the knot.
