Editor’s Notes: A good simple carry. The Leatherman Wave is a good multi-tool. I just picked one up myself, and should come in the mail soon. Once I get it, it is going in my EDC. I have used it before and was very impressed with it. Easy access to both knife blades, serrated and fine edge, makes this a great tool, you dont have to open the pliers every time you need to use a blade.

You can tell that you’ve had some of the things in your carry for a while, faded edges on your keys and faded leather on wallet. Being faithful to your carry is important, if it must change, upgrade your things. It is very easy to see that you are faithful to your carry.

Overall a good, faithful, and simple carry, the multi-tool covers all your needs. Very useful.

  • Wedding ring
  • iPhone 5 with Speck Card Case (wallet and phone in one)
  • Keys to my house, jeep and my dads trailer as well as fob for work
  • Carmex (for the winter)

Editor’s Note: Thanks for submitting such nice photos. A true minimal carry. Only the essentials. I haven’t seen the Speck iPhone Card Case yet. I like it. I might have to look into one of those for myself. I’ve contemplated the BookBook iPhone case. Ultimately, it seemed like it would be more of a nuisance. The Speck case is simpler and doesn’t look to hinder the phone usage too much.

Beyond that, I’d consider carrying some sort of knife. Something small and compact to go along with what you’ve got. The Benchmade Mini Griptillian is on my wish list for just that sort of carry.

You’re a designer/artist. Any particular pen or pencil of choice for sketching?

Editor’s Note: Again, it seems right that the editor’s carries be shown on here. This happens to be David’s EDC. Don’t worry, we wrote each others notes about our carries. This carry covers the basic needs that someone comes across everyday, wallet, keys, knife, and phone.

We very obviously have a Leatherman fan here. A Skeletool and a Micra, both solid tools. Having the Micra on the keychain allows it to be with you all the time and it features all the basic tools except for a phillips screwdriver. Despite having less tools, only pliers, knife, and screwdriver, the Skeletool does offer more options if you purchase the optional bit set. The external blade offers easy access just like a regular pocket knife.

Overall a good carry. All the basics are covered, my only question is, how were you able to take the pictures without your glasses on?

Editor’s Note: It seems fitting that the first few posts to this site should showcase what the editors of the site have in their everyday carry. This particular post showcases Brian’s equipment. The black overall color scheme is a nice touch. I like a good minimal carry and a good cohesive look. This is both.

I haven’t seen the P-51 Military Can Opener in another carry. Nice addition. Two bottle openers and no keys. What gives?

As this site progresses and we see what more and more people carry, I look forward to seeing how your equipment changes. Especially on a shoestring college budget!

Editor’s Note: A special thanks to Matt for submitting this carry and also for introducing my brother and I to the online word of the everyday carry. This is a pretty solid pocket dump. All the essentials. I see the architectural scale in the background. I wonder if you are too embarrassed to admit that, as an architect, that bad boy travels everywhere with you! My only comment would be to minimize the rewards cards on the keychain.
