Together, the trio explores why we carry what we carry, how our personal histories shape our tool choices, and why the quest for the “perfect” multitool becomes such a powerful part of the EDC journey. From Leatherman Waves and Victorinox Spirits to pocket‑jewelry, talismans of safety, and the social dynamics behind pocket dumps, this conversation blends real‑world use, personal stories, and psychological insight in a way only the EDC‑TV crew can deliver.

Nate shares how his family’s tradition of pocket knives led him into multi‑tools, how preparedness influences behavior, and why certain tools become emotional comfort items. Grant and Kirky add decades of experience, touching on collector mentality, status symbols, the Leatherman Garage phenomenon, and the eternal debate between “tools for use” vs. “tools for show.”

If you’ve ever wondered why the EDC hobby grabs hold so tightly (or why you keep buying tools even after finding “the one”) this episode is for you.

This week on EDC-TV, Grant and John dive deep into the SOG PowerPint, exploring its strengths, quirks, and questionable scissors. From compound leverage pliers to surprisingly capable can openers, the PowerPint gets a full real world breakdown after weeks of daily carry.

The conversation branches into the wild world of compact multi‑tools, Leatherman nostalgia, the infamous Juice flatheads, and why the Mini is both “utterly useless” and “utterly adorable.” Grant and John also react to CRKT’s newly released Fulcrum 2, compare it to the legendary Fulcrum Flame, and debate whether fidget factor outweighs function.

From obscure Gerber classics like the Multi‑Light, to Jeep‑branded “Spider Guppy” hybrids, to the rising trend of pocket‑sized adjustable wrenches like the Knipex Cobra XS and WorkPro alternatives, this episode is a tour through multitool history, innovation, and questionable design choices.

Plus: John begins a new restoration project on a Casio G‑Shock GA‑100, shares the joys and horrors of battery hunting, and promises future updates (and possibly new swear words).

If you love EDC gear, pocket tools, Swiss Army knives, or just two enthusiasts having a blast, this episode is packed with insights, stories, and gear you’ve probably never seen before.

In this episode of EDC TV, Grant and John dive into a sprawling, hilarious, genuinely insightful conversation about SOG quirks, UK‑legal blades, sharpening setups, rescue tools, and the eternal struggle of exotic steels vs. “I just want to sharpen this thing on my car window.”

From the saga of the missing SOG PowerPint and the suspiciously collectible model kit that vanished in the British postal system, the infamous PowerAssist that deploys all on its own, to Rough Rider stockmans, Subcoms, para‑tool mods, and the eternal debate over MagnaCut hype, this episode is packed with deep cuts for knife nerds and multitool fans alike.

And just when you think it can’t get stranger, Grant unveils the Ti‑Link, a titanium multitool bracelet that stores screwdriver bits, forever pencils, and actual crayons.

Because of course it does.

If you love multitools, pocket knives, sharpening talk, EDC culture, or just two enthusiasts laughing their way through the gear world, this episode is absolutely your jam.

• How to spot repairs, reworks, and suspiciously pristine vintage blades
• The rising market for Victorinox, Wenger, ALOX, PST, and birth‑year knives

This episode dives deep into one of the most universal, beloved, and culturally rich categories of cutting tools: peasant knives. Grant, Inky Chris, and returning regular Kirky explore what makes these humble blades so enduring, from agricultural roots to modern-day collectability- and why nearly every country has its own iconic version.

You’ll hear stories about Okapis in New York, Duk-Duks in France, Mercator K55Ks in Germany, Opinel classics, and the fascinating Portuguese hybrids Grant discovered on his travels. The crew compares designs, shares personal experiences, and breaks down why these knives remain essential tools for workers, farmers, and everyday folks around the world.

Along the way, you’ll get laughs, history, practical insights, and even a few tales of missing mail, chronograph confusion, and baguette‑cutting in London.

If you love knives, culture, history, or just good conversation, this episode is for you.

We crack open Jim Cobb’s new book Common Sense Everyday Carry and explore some of its biggest ideas, including the Three‑Layer EDC System (on‑body, off‑body, vehicle) and the concept of “talismans of safety” aka the gear people carry but don’t actually know how to use.

Along the way, we compare the Spyderco Ladybug to the Byrd Finch, talk UK pricing pain, revisit infamous oddities like the Lansky World Legal Knife, and reminisce about legendary multitools like the Gerber MP600 and SOG PowerLock. Expect strong opinions, good‑natured ribbing, and a whole lot of gear talk.

If you enjoy EDC discussions, knife nerdery, or just watching Grant and Kirky roast questionable design choices… this one’s for you.

Or at least as serious as EDC TV ever gets.

In this episode, Grant, Inky Chris, and Kirky dive into:

• What a bug‑out bag really is
• Why comfort matters more than tacticool gear
• The chaos of real emergencies such as blackouts, floods, terrorist attacks and spilled root beer
• What to pack so you’re ready for 24–72 hours of “get the F out of there”
• The importance of spare clothes once you’re over 40
• Surviving Canadian winters (spoiler: fire is not optional)
• And of course… knives. Including Grant’s new Kershaw Align and a very honest review of the Victorinox Synergy.

It’s practical, it’s ridiculous, it’s relatable and it’s exactly why you watch EDC TV.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your bug‑out bag is enough… or whether you should even bother… this episode is for you.

In this episode of EDC‑TV, Grant, Inky, and John dive into the wonderfully strange world of abnormal everyday carry—the tools, trinkets, and personal items people keep with them that fall way outside the usual knives, flashlights, and multitools.

We kick things off with the weekly “What’s New?” segment, where Kirky talks about the SOG PowerPint, Inky shows off a hilariously packaged knockoff Microtech, and Grant shares a compact DeWalt laser measure that leads perfectly into tonight’s theme.

From there, the crew explores the unconventional side of EDC:

• John’s dowsing pendulum and poppy badge
• Inky’s full‑size scissors, A.G. Russell tweezers, and pocket crystals
• Grant’s plastic calipers, emergency weather radio, and long‑serving Maxpedition gear
• Plus sewing kits, makeup brushes, trail mix, consumables, and other oddball items that make everyday life easier

It’s a fun, relaxed conversation full of stories, laughs, and genuinely useful ideas for expanding your own carry beyond the basics.

If you carry something unusual, meaningful, or just plain weird, drop it in the comments, or better yet, join the discussion at forum.Multitool.org.

Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you next week!

In Episode 041 of EDC-TV, Grant Lamontagne is joined once again by special guest John "Kirky" Kirkwood for a wide-ranging conversation about the watches that earn a permanent place on your wrist. From rugged Casio G-Shocks and affordable field watches to Seikos, Swatches, smartwatches, and everything in between, they explore what really matters in an EDC watch.

This isn't a discussion about luxury or status, it's about reliability, practicality, and the stories that your gear collects along the way. Along the way, the conversation wanders (as EDC-TV and Multitool.Org conversations often do!) into Swiss Army knives, multitools, watch modifications, NATO straps, military gear, collecting, and why the best piece of equipment is the one you'll actually use.

Whether you're a dedicated watch enthusiast, a casual wearer, or just looking for your next dependable everyday companion, there's something here for you.

In this episode you'll hear about:

• What makes a great EDC watch
• Why Casio G-Shocks have earned their legendary reputation
• Watch modifications and personalization
• Field watches vs. dive watches vs. smartwatches
• Budget-friendly watches that punch above their price
• The stories and memories that make everyday gear special
• How watches fit into a complete EDC philosophy
• Why "wear what you love, and love what you wear" may be the best advice of all.

I’m joined by long‑time forum member John Kirkwood, known to all of us as Kirky, who’s been part of Multitool.org since 2011. For our 20th Anniversary, it felt right to bring in someone who embodies the spirit, humor, and history of the community.

We kick things off the way only EDC‑TV can, with me stumbling through the intro (I always screw up the intros…) and Kirky warming up with a conversation that’s equal parts gear talk, nostalgia, and genuine friendship.

From there, we explore the wonderfully weird world of bladeless EDC, including Kirky’s custom mods, his professional life, the tools that saved his sanity, and occasionally his job.

You’ll hear stories about:

• The bladeless Fuse he rebuilt with Wave drivers
• The legendary KST, aka the Kirky Survival Tool
• His modified Sideclip (“heresy to some people…”)
• The modern options like the Nextool Mini Sailor Lite and Roxon Mini‑Flex Companion
• And yes… even the Gerber Armbar Mini

But this episode is also a love letter to the community.

We reminisce about the old UK meetups with exotic animals on the barbecue, and call out names many of us haven’t heard in years: Benner, Dunc, Gareth, Taxi Dad (Micheal), Magic Bus (Chris), Al, Paul, Dave K, and so many more. If you were ever part of Multitool.org, you’re part of this story.

As Kirky puts it, “Names are funny things.”

And after 20 years of Multitool.org, the names (and the people behind them!) are what made this place special.

Whether you’re new to the forum or you’ve been with us since the old SOSAK days, this episode is a celebration of everything we’ve built together.

Grant kicks things off with updates on the massive anniversary festivities: giveaways, discount codes, games, prizes, and special collaborations with Kansept Knives and other industry friends. If you haven’t joined the party yet, head over to forum.multitool.org and get involved — or reach out if your company wants to be part of the celebration.

From there, the boys go full‑tilt into knife talk, reviewing a lineup of wild blades sent in by Kansept for the anniversary. Grant shows off the Kansept Fenrir, complete with 80s camouflage scales and gold titanium liners — a knife that somehow manages to look like a smoking jacket and a gas‑station fever dream at the same time. Inky, naturally, volunteers to “inspect” it.

Next up is the Kansept Parr, a tiny fixed blade with a surprisingly capable CPM steel, a clever sheath (with a drain hole, thank you Kansept), and a pocket clip that may or may not eject the knife into your truck seat. Grant recounts the near‑miss that could’ve ended in a very awkward ER visit.

Then comes the monster: the Tenable Knives Bombur — a half‑pound pocket beast named after the famously hefty dwarf from The Hobbit. With frag‑pattern G10, a triangular thumb hole, and enough jimping to grip it with Teflon gloves in a butter factory, this knife is equal parts ridiculous and irresistible.

Finally, Grant reveals the main event: the official Multitool.org 20th Anniversary Swiss Army Knife, a reissue of the legendary “Special Mechanic” / “Mechanic Junior” — a model never officially released, originally made for Radio Shack’s Techline brand. It’s a tribute to the community, the collectors, and the 20‑year legacy of the world’s premier Swiss Army Knife resource.

It’s knives, jokes, nostalgia, and pure multitool madness — exactly what you expect from Grant and Inky.

Episode 038 of The Beginner’s Guide to Knives dives deep into one of the most misunderstood parts of knife design: handles and tangs.

Grant, Inky Chris, and Abe Elias (Diving Sparrow Knifeworks / Blade Magazine) break down everything from full tangs, hidden tangs, rat‑tail tangs, skeletonized handles, half tangs, and even the infamous no‑tang hollow‑handle survival knives of the Rambo era.

Along the way, we get gear talk, knife drops, accidental bloodshed, Maxpedition nostalgia, and the usual chaos you’ve come to expect from EDC‑TV.

If you’ve ever wondered why certain knives feel stronger, lighter, or more balanced, or what actually goes on inside the handle this episode is your crash course.

Watch now and level up your knife knowledge.

And of course… the showdown:

Who actually brought home the best sub‑$25 knife?

Who cheated?
Who regrets everything?
And who’s secretly carrying their challenge knife every day now?

If you love EDC, budget gear, knife talk, or just three friends roasting each other for almost an hour, this is your episode.

In this episode, Grant and Inky welcome Chris Cashbaugh (formerly Chris@SOG on our own forum at Multitool.org) for a deep dive into the knives, tools, and behind‑the‑scenes decisions that shaped an entire era of gear design. From the rise of high‑value Chinese knives to the engineering quirks behind crossbar locks, the crew breaks down what makes a knife actually good, what makes a multitool actually useful, and why timing and market readiness can make or break even the most innovative ideas.

Chris shares candid insights from his years at SOG, including:

• How the PepperWool Merino came to be his new daily carry
• Why the Baton and SYNC series were bold experiments ahead of their time
• The real challenges of designing tools for specific users (like backpackers) without adding “features for the sake of features”
• What consumers think they want vs. what they actually need
• Why a $10 Ozark Trail crossbar‑lock knife can punch way above its weight

If you love knives, multitools, design philosophy, or just want to hear three friends geek out with someone who helped shape modern EDC, this episode is absolutely worth your time.

Packed with real‑world experience, decades of field use, and the kind of brutally honest opinions only long‑time friends can get away with, this is one of our most fun and informative episodes yet.
