Men’s Everyday Carry Item Suggestions

1) A Handy and Sharp Knife: Victorinox Cadet

A knife is the most important part of anyone's everyday carry, because of all the versatility it adds to your life. That's why it comes first on the list.

A small, functional pocketknife is the holy grail of EDC. A knife is useful in almost any situation. Whether you need to cut yourself free in an emergency or merely cut yourself a piece of pie, you'll be surprised at how often you whip your knife out (safely, of course).

3) A Decent and Durable Watch: Depends on Your Style.

A quality watch is imperative for your EDC kit though we might not rely on it to tell us the time, but a decent watch can provide you with more than that.

Having a durable, waterproof watch can be a valuable tool to provide you with various additional functions that you may need at any given moment. If you're an outdoor guy, a watch with a built-in compass could undoubtedly save your life in a geographical crisis. And nowadays, smartwatches have become very popular because they have more functions than just telling time.

Apple Watch, for example, is a recorder of your physiological state and your daily life. You can also connect it with your iPhone to send messages and answer phone calls. If you're using an Apple Watch, don't forget to "dress up" it with a Retro watch band and protect it with an aramid fiber watch case.

There are plenty of multi-tools that feature various gadgets, including mini scissors, a Phillips head screwdriver, a pocket knife, and even a bottle opener.

The Pita!Tag for Multi-tool (coming soon) is unlike any other multi-tool on the market. It is a minimalist everyday carry item and an exquisite AirTag case integrating with a slot-type screwdriver, a cross screwdriver, a 2.0-caliber Allen key, and a pocket knife.

That's where Pita!Tag for Multi-tool comes in. Install your AirTag with the multi-tool, attach it to your key chain, then you will never lose your key as well as your other EDC gears. Never lock yourself out of your home or car again.

6) A Lighter: Dissim Inverted Lighter

Generally speaking, a lighter is definitely listed on a smoker's or perhaps a survivalist's EDC items. Actually, a lighter is a utility tool and can prove remarkably valuable in many circumstances.

Without a doubt, lighting up a cigarette and emergency use in camping are the most common cases in which a lighter can show its value. Yet, it can still help with illumination when your phone or your flashlight is powered down. Besides, sterilizing a needle with a lighter to get a nasty splinter out from under your skin could be the last option for you when there aren't other options within your grasp.
