Welcome to the Urban EDC Showcase! Each week, we feature a member of the EDC community and the gear they rely on every day. Want to be featured? Submit your gear photo.
From Milford, CT, we chat with Tom (@the_casual_cutter) who's a case manager providing in-home addiction treatment. In the past year, Tom's life took a strange twist after a motorcycle accident. But not only has he adapted to the changes, Tom has thrived by rekindling his love for knives and EDC, and relishing the extra 3 titanium plates and 38 screws (in addition to his titanium EDC loadout). Now's that's an EDC to call home about.
What's in your carry?
What's your story?
I’m based in the shoreline town of Milford, CT and have worked in various facets of the medical field since 2009, currently as a case manager providing in-home addiction treatment.
I briefly owned and operated my own business from 2015-2017 out of a home workshop in Guilford, CT. Unfortunately when I was forced to relocate I lost the workshop and had to return to the workforce, but hope to some day have a space and equipment to get back to making cool stuff for a living!
I started daily carrying a small Swiss Army knife around the age of 12 and began to realize just how important pocket tools can be. I haven’t gone a day without a folding knife in my pocket since (unless the TSA is involved of course). I didn’t get truly serious about high quality gear and pocket knives until about 20 years later, when all this stuff began becoming a hobby as well.
Besides pocket knives and EDC, my main hobby has always been motorcycles. Unfortunately this past October I was struck by a motorist and my leg was severely injured.
After spending almost 3 weeks in the hospital and 2 surgeries, I went home to begin a long recovery. In addition to my titanium EDC loadout, I’ve now got 3 titanium plates and 39 screws in my left lower leg.
Being stuck inside for months and learning to walk again has rekindled my love for knives and EDC, so I’m using that as a form of therapy and really enjoying getting back into the community after taking 2021 off of social media. I hope to be back at baseline by Summer 2022, when I can also get back to enjoying the outdoors, although it might not be on a motorcycle for a while.
