From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Caleb (@danneredc) found time to chat with us in between getting married and moving houses! A full-time video editor and part-time worship leader at his local church, he is a man on a mission with his family, community, and everyday carry. Read on for the full story and find out which blade (hint: leaf-shaped) Caleb swears by and relies on completely.

What's in your carry?

• Knife: Spyderco Sage 5
  The knife is the Spyderco Sage 5, which is my first high-quality EDC knife. I adore it for its ergonomics and compression lock.
  
  
• Notebook Wallet: DIY Handmade
  The notebook/wallet was handmade by me so that I can journal wherever I am at. That piece is what is most important to me.
  
  
• Pocket Organizer: DIY Handmade
  The pocket organizer contains a Nite Ize Inova (180 lumens) and the classic Victorinox Tinker. I carry both of these in this organizer that I made myself, to keep everything upright and in place in my front left pocket, right next to my knife.
  
  
• Lighter and Pipe: Bic and Savinelli
  The lighter is a basic Bic lighter with a leather wrap, and has a Czech tool attached to it for pipe smoking. Not included in this photo is my favorite pipe, which is my Savinelli ROMA 316 KS.

What's your story?

I am based out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! I work full-time as a video editor and part-time as a worship leader at a local startup church. I ended up starting both jobs sort of by accident, and have adored them both ever since. I attend this church with my soon to be wife, and I am the sole video producer for my family business.

I have always been interested in knives. As a kid, I would save up the few dollars I could to buy knives at flea markets. I didn't even know EDC was a thing until I got my first EDC friendly pocket knife, the Boker Kalashnikov Mini.

After that, I started researching more and acquiring more. I loved knives and gear and started posting about it on my personal page. It wasn't until a friend told me I should create an EDC page that I finally became fully immersed in the world of everyday carry.

In my free time, I am trying to start a small leathercraft business. I love creating wallets and pocket organizers, but right now I just make them for friends and family.
