Why I never use my gear…

Best Damn EDC ·

2025/12/08

Everyone thinks Taylor keeps his gear pristine and never uses it. The truth? His team won't let him near anything before they photograph it because he destroys everything instantly. This week: the Camp Mule launch, the butter-smooth Arno Bernard Turico, and a $500 utility knife that flips like an OTF.0:20 Show and TellArno Bernard TuracoHawk Knives ShortcutCarry Commission Camp Mule8:17 SponsorsWork SharpBig Idea DesignBladeBinge — buy, sell, and trade EDC gear safely Carry Commission10:49

Why Every New Knife Feels the Same

Best Damn EDC ·

2025/10/25

This week, we take a hard look at the knife world…and what’s wrong with it. A viewer from the UK sent in a confession about paying nearly $900 for a McNees PM MAC 2 3.5 after taxes and customs. It got me thinking about how we got here—not just the prices, but the endless options, the hype, and the loss of the real story behind the gear. It’s not just about money anymore. It’s about meaning.0:23 EDC ConfessionalsSubmit your own5:07 SponsorsWork Sharp Big Idea Design BladeBinge — buy, sell,

The Dark Side of Gear Reviews

Best Damn EDC ·

2025/10/19

This week, Taylor takes a hard look at how reviewers and influencers shape the EDC world—sometimes for the worse. Sparked by a viewer’s confession about the underrated Leatherman Free K4, Taylor reflects on how trends, thumbnails, and first impressions can bury great gear before it ever gets a fair chance. It’s a deep dive into bias, influence, and what happens when the loudest voices decide what’s “good.”0:45 EDC ConfessionalsSubmit your own https://forms.gle/rP8ohp7cxRrnxkFe94:57

2025/09/27

One comment lit the fuse: ‘Anyone who thinks scissors are the best tool on a multi-tool is someone who doesn’t know how to sharpen a knife.’ So are scissors just training wheels for knife guys, or the most underrated tool in EDC? Plus a brand-new Leatherman, a hot-swappable blade design, an unhinged confessional, and more in this week’s Deep Cuts.Let’s do the damn thing.0:00 Cold Open Are scissors training wheels… or essential?0:25 Show and Tell Leatherman Wave Alpha Exceed Designs TiRant

Apparently, small knives aren’t “real” knives—at least according to some of the recent comments. In this episode of Deep Cuts, I explain why you don’t need a big knife for most daily tasks, and why I’ve been leaning hard into smaller blades lately. I also break down the lawsuit Gavin Hawk just filed against Microtech (yeah, the timing’s wild), talk through this week’s Community Carry, and try to solve a puzzle box on camera.
