Named after the ferocious Peruvian Isula bullet ant, the ESEE Izula packs a mean punch in a pocketable package. Skeletonized 1095 carbon steel construction and a 2.63″ flat ground blade make it a valuable lightweight addition to any survival kit. These handles even allow plenty of options for your choice of custom scales, from Micarta to paracord and everything in between. A black molded polymer sheath completes the package and offers you options for either neck or lanyard carry. And with 7 colorways to choose from, there’s an Izula to perfectly fit your survival or outdoors EDC.
With such an outstanding career in the live music and audio industry, it’s no surprise that Marshall’s incursion into the world of everyday earphones knocked it out of the park. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2, the Minor III’s ensure you don’t have to deal with wires again; turn them on, pair them with your preferred device, and you’re good to go. They also feature intuitive touch controls, which means you’ll be able to control your musical experience without having to reach for your smartphone.
If you’ve been thinking about getting a dive watch but all the options out there seem a little too pricey, you might want to consider the Casio MDV10-1AV Duro. This bang-for-buck diver gives you a 44mm stainless steel case with a satin finish, offering you better legibility, easier manipulation of the bezel, and more wrist presence. It has a black dial with a sunburst finish that contrasts well against the white markers and hands, which have been treated with luminescent paint for low-light legibility. You’ll even find chromed metal around these markers for a touch of elegance.
Carrying a novelty coin inside your pockets is a great way to keep your hands fidgeting all day, and the Copper Moon Coin from Shire Post Mint is a one-of-a-kind item. This coin is 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.
The Douk Douk Le Tiki is from a line of staunch folders that have been used for over 70 years by members of the French Army and the French Foreign Legion, a testament to its reliability and sound design. The stainless steel handle of this variant features a stylized image of the “First Man” from the Maori creation myth—hence the knife’s namesake—and a hardened bright chrome finish for corrosion resistance and a bit of aesthetic flair. The hollow-ground Turkish clip point blade is made of blackened high carbon steel and sports a 3.3” cutting edge that narrows down to a thin point, good for light EDC slicing tasks. This traditional slipjoint features a half-stop and a strong heat-treated backspring to ensure familiar and reliable operation. The whole package is just 2.5 ounces light and 4.25” closed, making for an easy pocket or bag carry.
The FIXR offers 20 easily identifiable tools—including a carabiner clip, ruler, small cutting blade, pry bar, box opener, and more—in a robust package considering that it’s about 3 inches long and weighs a hair over an ounce. Many pocket tools tend to be credit card-shaped or overly short, sacrificing usability for size. Instead, the FIXR’s modest length provides a better grip and more torque when using its tools. The FIXR also has three screwdrivers mounted on a rotating titanium-coated disc. You can use it to position the screwdrivers for easy access and use when you need them, or tuck them out of the way when you don’t.
When you bring a pen for EDC, you want something that lasts and performs. The Tombow AirPress is a tough and durable carry-everywhere pen that features a robust metal clip and lightweight, rubberized, elastomer-coated body. It’s also a great pen to take in different conditions due to its built-in cartridge-pressurizing mechanism. Instead of using pressurized ink cartridges like most write-anywhere pens, this one primes and pressurizes its own ink cartridge when you click to deploy it. Because of this, the Tombow AirPress can write upside down, in cold conditions, and even on wet paper.
Bertucci is a brand renowned for its quality field watches, and this model fills all three categories. The A-2T field watch comes with a 40mm titanium case, featuring a sand-blasted finish for a cleaner look. The use of titanium not only keeps the weight down to 1.9 oz but also increases its durability. A legible dial features oversized Arabic numerals, along with hands and markers treated with luminous paint. Inside, a Japanese quartz movement keeps the watch accurate, along with a date complication that replaces the 4 o’clock marker. At that same position, you’ll also find an offset screw-down crown for better protection against ingress. This crown combined with a scratch-resistant hardened mineral glass crystal gives this timepiece 100M of water resistance.
Leatherman is one of the most trusted brands in multi-tools, so it should come as no surprise that they also make compact, single-piece tools like the Brewzer. As its name implies the Leatherman Brewzer was designed to help you open a bottle of your favorite brew after a long day; however, it’s much more than a bottle opener. At one end of the tool, you’ll find a sturdy pry bar you can leverage with the Brewzer’s 2.45“ length. On the other end is an appropriate bottle-shaped opening that appears to be a keyring slot, but also doubles as a handy nail puller.
There’s always space for a bottle opener in everyone’s kit, especially one as nifty and charming as the CRKT Snailor. October’s most popular item comes as a collaboration with knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes, with whom the brand has produced multi-tools like the Pryma and knives like the Pilar and Piet–each bearing his distinct design. The regular-sized Snailor (there’s a smaller version) features a quick-release cam that lets you hook it onto your keychain setup or even a belt loop. Being able to quickly detach it makes it more comfortable during use over other keyring tool designs that remain with the rest of your keys.
