Color Coordinated Carry
I remember when orange was the cool color in the EDC community. Everything came in various shades of orange, and people posted matching carries with knife, flashlight, pen, pouch, and trinkets all in orange. Not to say orange has exited the zeitgeist of EDC entirely, but the community seems to have in some ways moved on. Not me! I still enjoy throwing a bunch of orange stuff in my pockets often, and have been carrying some this week. Namely:
- Hinderer XM-18 3.5 Skinny Slicer
- Everyday Kara’s Basik 004 All Hallows Eve
- Katahdin Packs Small Accessory Pouch
Now, while I have carried my orange GEC #71 Bullnose a bit, I’ve mostly carried two traditional knives gifted to me by fellow Barlow Bearcats. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying both the Great Eastern Cutlery Gunstock Jack SFO #25 Watch Pocket Barlow (thanks Austin!) and GEC made Waynorth Bison Belly (thanks Charlie!); they’re not orange, but they sure are classics! I also don’t have an orange flashlight currently and, truth be told, don’t carry one that often.
Do you coordinate what tools you carry? If so, how?
