Jacob (@jakesedc) first got into EDC through a friend who gifted him his first knife. Since then, he has been hooked and his EDC has gradually evolved with time. As a fan of Swiss Army Knives, Jacob is looking to add more vintage variants to his rotation. Read on to find out about his obsession with Swiss Army Knives and what’s next on his gear radar.

Featured Tools:

• Pocket Knife: The James Brand Elko
  Small yet mighty, this little beast can handle any cutting task. I really appreciate its sleek and beautiful designs.
  
  
• SAK: Victorinox Cadet in Burgundy
  Highly multi-functional with a beautiful color and hand feel.
  
  
• Keychain Knife: Spyderco Manbug
  It’s super easy to carry because it’s light, nice and small!
  
  
• Fidget Tool: Creations Unknown Glow Buddy
  This adds a fun pop of color to my EDC. It’s great for fidgeting with and a great conversation starter!

Favorite EDC Tool:

My favorite EDC is definitely the Swiss Army knives. The different colors and styles make them very fun and collectible. In fact, I base all the other items I carry around my Swiss Army Knives.

Next On Your Gear Radar:

The next item on my radar will definitely be more vintage Swiss Army Knives. Seeing the patina and age in each one gives them more character and makes them unique.
