I agree with you... for the most. In my EDC there is an Opinel, but also a Swiss Tool. The knife should be easy to replace, but I have to rely on my multitool

@emesser7087Ай бұрын
I think it's important that you know you got the edc with you and use it when it's an opportunity to use it. If expensive or not. The most important thing is to like the stuff and beeing happy every time you use it that you have it. Expensive or not. Than you'll keep it and take care of it

I think of it like a Call of Duty skin. like once you've used a knife for so long and shown you can keep it nice and care for it then you should be allowed to get a nicer one if wanted

Gotta say, my brother in law got me an Opinel 8 Carbon and while at first I didn’t think I’d use it much, it’s become one of my go-to summer knives. It’s so light I barely notice it’s there in a pair of shorts. Seriously it’s feather light. Also the blade is always reliable and the perfect length.

For an inexpensive Timex, consider the Expedition. At about 40 USD, it is good to 100 meters - and I have worn some version of it since the 1980s.

@@BestDamnEDC - The only change that I would make to the Expedition is its strap. Most versions come with a molded strap which will eventually break. Google "18mm Nylon NATO Watch Strap with Stainless Fasteners". Pick the color and style you like, but avoid spending more than 20 USD. The NATO Strap prevents loss of the watch, while also spacing its case back away from the skin. Sweat accumulates behind watch cases - and that will itch eventually.

Taylor, check out the Opinel fork and spoons you can add to the #8 knife for camping. For $17 (if you already own the knife) it's the best cutlery set you can buy for camping. Solid utensils and compact, plus the knife has a great edge to spark a fire from.

Premium and Name Brands will always be expensive. Then you get a lot of niche but well designed tools. If it's not something you'll use don't buy it, and if it's not something you're scared to potentially destroy you don't need it. Anything budget EDC should be tough, cheap and well worn. It's fine to splurge, but you gotta save those for special occasions.

You mentioned that you wanted to do a budget version of this because people complain you talk about expensive stuff, but I don't think I've ever seen you talk about an expensive knife on this channel ever. The most expensive thing I think I've seen you talk about was a Rosie or a Shiro, nothing over $1k. There are literally ton of amazing knives in the $1k - $3k range that are considered regular every-day stuff. In fact there are probably more small makers in that price range than in the cheap high volume stuff you always cover. I mean Bull Knives, Eutsler, SPK, Shiro custom division, Brown Knives, etc. That's not even getting into actually expensive truly custom knives.
@jonathonclary1681Ай бұрын
On the other hand, there's a lot of things featured on this list that some people would consider not even close to budget friendly. Some of us can't spend $100 on a total kit let alone a knife of a pen as part of one. Pretty much any time someone mentions Big Idea Design they communicate loud and clear that they have no idea what 'budget' means.
@Shane-oq7opАй бұрын
@@jonathonclary1681 Sure, budget definitely implies cheap enough to fit in the lowest of budgets. BiD isn’t in that category. They are definitely in the low price end compared to small batch single person or small company USA made stuff since most of their stuff is produced overseas, but it’s super high quality and definitely not budget.
@jonathonclary1681Ай бұрын
@@Shane-oq7op Yeah, I'm not trying to talk down BiD, I like their designs, it's just one item on their list can cost more than most of what I carry on any given day. Additionally, bargain doesn't have to mean cheap, it's more a question of value. BiD makes a nice looking utility knife and they charge an awful lot for it. conversely, I can walk down the street to my local wal-mart and buy the Gerber version for like $12. Both tools hold razor blades, both look pretty cool. What does BiD do that justifies their price? at some point you get a case of serious diminishing returns when you pay that much for a pen, or a utility knife or whatever else they're selling.
@Shane-oq7opАй бұрын
@@jonathonclary1681 Sure. The main difference in any higher quality gear compared to cheaper stuff is that it's made of higher quality materials (titanium vs steel, premium blade steel on knives, brass, copper, etc.) and made in much smaller quantities. It really comes down to why you acquired the things you have in the first place. If it was purely functional for you, then definitely buy the cheapest decent quality version of that thing you can find that fills your needs. It's sort of like buying a well used but reliable small economy sized car that gets you from A to B vs something nicer looking, faster, bigger, more features, etc.
