Are you a street hood hellbent on popping caps? I got a solution for you. Check it out.

Persol sunglasses are legendary… They are also really damned expensive. The above is demonstration on the how and why. Pretty damned beautiful.

I love Best Made. They have such an eye for style and design… And they do it with such functional stuff. But did you know they made more than just axes?

Check it out.

Jens Anso is a knifemaker in Denmark with a sense for simplicity. His knives are clean and graceful. I like that… So, I was pretty excited when he decided to send us one of his new titanium carabiners to review. Each is CNC milled in Anso’s shop from .210″ thick titan 6Al4V. They measure to be about 3″ by 1.5″ and weight in at about 1.2 oz. The spring is stainless steel…

Unfortunately, my wife kidnapped by carabiner as soon as it arrived in the mail. She’s been using it to secure her keys to her bag and loves the damned thing. The Anso carabiner is light but strong and the spring is plenty beefy to keep it secured to whatever you might click it on. Above all though, this thing is just the right size… Too often, I find carabiners to be too big or too small. The Anso is perfect.

If you are into such things, check out Anso’s site – It’s currently being updated, but his email is listed. Alternatively, Jens has a great blog to follow.

As a one-man operation, I’m a “to do list” freak… I’ve got them everywhere from my iPhone to my chalk board. This one, my friends, is brilliant.

How about a found bag load out? I don’t know this guy and have no idea what he does for a living, but I like his style – especially the bag and the X100. Details:

This has been my daily carry for a week. I think I’ve reached my ideal stuf quotient, though the Kindle occasionall goes away.

I like having a compact, high quality digital and fully automatic manual camera. The Zorki is especially funny because the solenoid cell still sorta works. Makes for interesting results.

-Fujifilm x100

-iPad 2 (red smartcover)
-iPad camera plugin

EDC updates are dorky… Here is mine.

- Old School iPhone
- Benchmade Auto
- Sinn 856

I work in a number of different locations and, as such, my every day bag holds and organizes a number of different items that I use daily. It’s just handy to keep all of that stuff in my bag so that I have it accessible while in the office or on the road. However, that does create a problem in that my bag needs to be easily handled and reached while in the office.

In the past, I’ve always just sat the bag in one of my office chairs as soon as I get in. This solution is fine until I have a meeting or a guest. In that case, the bag goes to the floor and it’s contents with it. This sounds like a minor inconvenience, but it’s actually a real pain in the ass. So, I started looking for a solution.

Who would have thought that other people shared in my misery and actually set out to do something about it? The folks at Workiture recently launched the el BagPed. Essentially, it’s just a stand for your bag. It’s so damned simple… So damned brilliant… And built like a brick shit house.

If you are interested, you can get all of the details here. Spendy? Yes. But worth every damned penny.

This isn’t necessarily related to EDC, but does help you keep your EDC goods in order. It’s a simple idea that needs funding – It’s the Switch Hook. Essentially, the Switch Hook is a receptacle cover with hooks towards the bottom that allow you to store things like your key chain, bag, etc… Brilliant idea from a young mind.

Details on how you can get a Switch Hook or support the production of them here.

So this guy in Portland has an online store that he stocks with classic EDC goods as well as stuff he comes up with and produces on his own. It’s all quite inspirational really… But the real gold mine here is his blog. I love watching and reading about the way creative people work. Check it out.
