Welcome to the Urban EDC Showcase! Each week, we feature one member of the EDC community and the gear they rely on every day. Want to be featured? Submit your gear photo.
From Richmond, Virginia, we talk to Taylor (@rvagearguy) who's a Senior Systems Engineer. Inspired by his dad, grandfather, and uncles who all carried knives – Taylor always had a knife in his pocket. Over time, his hobby evolved and expanded to include military knives or historically significant models. Read on for the full story and to learn all about Taylor's carefully curated and considered carry.

My story:
I am based in Richmond, Virginia. I was born here and lived here my entire life. I love living in Richmond, it is located almost perfectly between the coast and the mountains. The city is filled with history, great restaurants, museums, concert venues and lots more.
I have worked in the tech sector for the last 23 years. Currently I am a Senior Systems Engineer for a local government institution. I specialize in Enterprise Infrastructure.
Over the years I have I been responsible for engineering and implementing complex technical solutions for the financial, legal and most recently government industries. I enjoy working with technology and the environment is always changing so it never gets old.
I have always loved pocket knives. Ever since I was just a kid, I always wanted to have one in my pocket. My Dad, Grandfather, and Uncles all carried them, so I wanted as well.
That developed over the years into a significant hobby, and I collected as many as I could. From there, my interests evolved into other types of gear. I always liked being outside and going up to the mountains to camp.
Thus, I got into different types of lights, tools, etc. Some people think it is crazy to carry so many different things with you each day, until they need to use something and do not have it. I am pretty much prepared for most things, most of the time.
I love being outside. The Blue Ridge Mountains are my favorite place to be, and I get up there as often as time permits. I love to hike and camp. I also really enjoy going to see live music and spending time in the garden.
Watches used to be a big hobby of mine, but I have more than enough now and am content to just enjoy the collection that I currently own. I also really enjoy collecting fixed blade knives, especially military knives or historically significant models.
Favorite EDC tool:
It would have to be my watch. My EDC gear rotation changes frequently except for my watch. It is the one piece of gear that gets worn and relied upon consistently from day to day.
What's on my gear radar:
I would really like to acquire a Randall Model 1 or Model 13 fixed blade. Every fixed blade enthusiast should own at least one Randall.
