When you spend enough time in the EDC world, you start to realize that some of the best gear doesn’t come from big companies or fancy marketing — it comes from people who live this stuff. People who understand why we care about the little things we carry every day. Gearhunter is one of those brands.
I review a lot of gear—knives, multitools, flashlights—but I’ve been looking to branch out and see what else is out there. Trying something outside my norm not only expands my experience but also keeps things interesting. I’m not a hardcore camper, though I’ve camped before, and I know that a solid toolset makes all the difference. When you’re out in the wild, essentials like a saw, an axe or hatchet, and a fire starter can be game-changers.
As someone who usually distributes my everyday carry gear across different pockets, I’ve never given much thought to using a dedicated organizer. I typically stick to pocket-friendly options like those made by Arc Company, allowing me to adjust my carry depending on the day. But when Maxpedition sent over the Mini Pocket Organizer for review, I saw an opportunity to test a different approach—one that keeps everything compact, accessible, and in one place.
The Mini Pocket Organizer sits in the middle of Maxpedition’s lineup—not the largest, not the smallest, but a versatile size that can work for both pocket and bag carry. It boasts Maxpedition’s signature rugged construction, thoughtful layout, and plenty of organizational options.
A good sharpener isn’t just about getting a razor edge—it’s about consistency, ease of use, and convenience. Work Sharp has built a reputation for making some of the most user-friendly sharpening tools around, and the Guided Field Sharpener is no exception. Whether you’re new to sharpening or a seasoned pro, this little tool delivers results without the guesswork.
Finding the right way to carry your gear can be a challenge, especially when balancing comfort, accessibility, and durability. There are plenty of leather and Kydex solutions out there, but when I come across a company that’s making quality products at a reasonable price—especially one that’s local—I like to take a closer look. Enter 1791 Leather, a Miami-based company producing high-quality leather holsters, EDC organizers, and outdoor accessories. I got my hands on their Heavy-Duty Leather Belt and Easy Slide EDC Holster, and after some time using them, here’s what I think.
What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
