How to Choose EDC Gear on Best Damn EDC
Updated
Best Damn EDC is a gear blog and shop that covers everyday carry equipment through reviews, brand recommendations, and its own product line. You can use it to choose EDC gear by reading its reviews and recommendations, browsing products by brand or use, and checking listed prices and stock status before buying. It suits readers who want curated, practical gear suggestions rather than a general marketplace.
What the Site Offers
The site describes itself as a source of information on everyday carry gear. Its content falls into a few areas:
- Gear reviews — in-depth reviews and recommendations for gadgets, tools, and gear, with the stated aim of testing and analyzing products for value and reliability.
- Top brands — curated recommendations across brands known for reliability and performance, from tactical tools to accessories.
- Its own gear — a product line sold directly, including knives, tools, and accessories.
- Community and video — an email list, a YouTube channel with reviews, tutorials, and unboxing videos, and a Discord community.

How to Choose
- Start with a review or category. Read the gear reviews or brand recommendations to narrow down what fits your use and style.
- Match the product to your purpose. The lineup spans knives (Clingman, Ti Lookout Fixed Blade), tools (TPT Slide V2), pens (Mini Click Pen), and storage (Nesting Tins, Pocket Safe). Pick the category that matches your daily carry.
- Compare on the same dimensions. For each candidate, look at price, material or finish (for example Micarta vs. G-10 on the Clingman), and stock status.
- Check availability before committing. Sold-out items can't be added to cart, so confirm status first.
- Verify with outside sources if needed. The site's reviews are its own recommendations; cross-check with the YouTube channel or community discussion for more perspectives.
