Everyday Carry of General Manager from the Netherlands

This week, we speak to Cyril (@ptcyrilgarcia), a General Manager for a security company in the Netherlands. Originally from France, he is a French Army veteran who now enjoys mixed martial arts and powerlifting. Read on for Cyril's full gear rundown!

Featured Tools:

Knife: Manu Laplace 1515 Custom Ivory
Bracelet: French Army Paracord Bracelet
Activity Tracker: Fitbit Charge
Multi-Tool Bracelet: Leatherman Tread
Multi-Tool: Leatherman Surge
Multi-Tool Knife: Victorinox Swiss Army Knife
Key Holder: Key-Bar

Background:

Cyril is a French Army veteran, which is how he originally got into EDC gear in the first place. He now works in the Netherlands as a General Manager for a security company specialized in securing events and offices. His gear reflects his army background with an emphasis on functionality, and a touch of class. During his free time, aside from spending time with his family, he enjoys mixed martial arts and powerlifting!

Favorite EDC Tool:

For Cyril, this was a no-brainer. He immediately chose his Manu Laplace 1515 Custom Ivory knife. He tells us that the knife maker, Manu, put a lot of details into the knife resulting in a razor sharp knife with beautiful, high end details.
