Everyday Carry of an Industrial Plant Operator from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean

In this week's community feature, we speak to Shane (@dfreshprinceofpenal) who works as an Industrial Plant Operator in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. He got his first knife when he was just 11 years old! Can you guess what his current favorite EDC tool is? It might surprise you!

Featured Tools:

Knife: Boker F3
Wallet: Recycled Firefighter
Watch: Casio Pathfinder
Flashlight: Prometheus Lights Beta-QR
Multi-tool Knife: Victorinox Swiss Army Knife 
Keychain: Keybar
Pen: Hinderer Investigator
Multi-tool: EOS Ti Shark

Background:

Shane started collecting knives at a very young age, having received a Rambo knife when he was just 11 years old. He interest in knives and general EDC gear phased out a bit until he started working in the industrial field at the age of 18. Then, he really got into multi-tools such as Leatherman and Swiss Army Knife. About 5 years ago, he started collecting knives again and his passion for all types of EDC gear only grew from there. 

Favorite EDC Tool:

When asked this question, Shane had to think long and hard about it. Finally, he told us that his Swiss Army Knife was his favorite because it is so versatile: a knife, bottle opener, flathead screwdriver, file, and general multi-purpose tool. He tell us that everyone should at least own or carry one!
