Background:

Andrew is a Biology & Chemistry Student who loves learning about the mechanics behind flashlights and knives. He appreciates the finer details of what goes into crafting a well-designed, highly functional EDC tool.

After discovering Handgrey carabiners, he got pulled into the world of higher end EDC and has never looked back since. He tells us that now, he really thinks about form and function of what he carries on a daily basis. He appreciates subtle design details and all the work that goes into creating a high quality piece of gear.

Andrew did not hesitate to tell us that his favorite piece of gear is his James Brand County. After seeing so many traditional slipjoint knives, he tells us that it was refreshing to see something as uniquely designed as the County.
