| 12/8/25 |  Why I never use my gear… | Everyone thinks Taylor keeps his gear pristine and never uses it. The truth? His team won't let him near anything before they photograph it because he destroys everything instantly.

| 10/25/25 |  Why Every New Knife Feels the Same | This week, we take a hard look at the knife world…and what’s wrong with it. A viewer from the UK sent in a confession about paying nearly $900 for a McNees PM MAC 2 3.5 after taxes and customs. It got me thinking about how we got here—not just the prices, but the endless options, the hype, and the loss of the real story behind the gear. It’s not just about money anymore. It’s about meaning.0:23 EDC ConfessionalsSubmit your own5:07 SponsorsWork Sharp Big Idea Design BladeBinge — buy, sell, and trade EDC gear safely Carry Commission x Paladin33 Waxed Canvas Belt Bag XL18:59 Show and TellMcNees Dixon FragHalf Face Blades Disaster24:00 Carry Of The Week - PCK Diodrio Pocket OrganizerCoast PX22 FlashlightBlack Diamond CarabinerCasio F105WMoleskine Volant XS JournalRedwing Card WalletKey SmartFisher Space PenOpinel No. 8TISUR Titanium Shackle26:22 What’s In My PocketsMcNees Dixon FragHalf Face Blades DisasterLeatherman SurgeGarmin Fenix 8 ProCC X Wilder Goods Co HithchhikerBig Idea Design Pocket Pro BronzeGaslight Industries Jerry Can Lighter27:01 GiveawayFind instructions to enter the October giveaway by signing up for the newsletter: https://weekly.bestdamnedc.com | 28m 44s | ||||||
| 10/19/25 |  The Dark Side of Gear Reviews | This week, Taylor takes a hard look at how reviewers and influencers shape the EDC world—sometimes for the worse. Sparked by a viewer’s confession about the underrated Leatherman Free K4, Taylor reflects on how trends, thumbnails, and first impressions can bury great gear before it ever gets a fair chance. It’s a deep dive into bias, influence, and what happens when the loudest voices decide what’s “good.”0:45 EDC ConfessionalsSubmit your own https://forms.gle/rP8ohp7cxRrnxkFe94:57 SponsorsWork Sharp RMX Blackout drops Monday at 10 AM PSTBig Idea DesignBladeBinge for all your buy, sell, and trading EDC needsCarry Commission x Jack Wolf Knives K9 Jack Restock17:38 Show and Tell Axial x Best Damn EDC Shift V3Work Sharp RMX Blackout Reserve SeriesPro-Tech x Chaves Redencion Custom21:25 Carry Of The Week@UnboundCarry (YouTube & Instagram)Vosteed PsyopBig Idea Design Ti ArtoRovyVon Aurora A4 ProPopov Leather 5 Card WalletApple Watch Ultra 2The James Brand MehlvilleOrbitKey Organizer25:00 What's In My PocketsAxial x Best Damn EDC Shift V3Leatherman SurgeGarmin Fenix 8 ProCC X Wilder Goods Co HithchhikerBig Idea Design Pocket Pro BronzeGaslight Industries Jerry Can Lighter26:13 GiveawayFind instructions to enter the October giveaway by signing up for the newsletter: https://weekly.bestdamnedc.com | 28m 33s | ||||||
| 9/27/25 |  Scissors Are Training Wheels for Knife Guys | One comment lit the fuse: ‘Anyone who thinks scissors are the best tool on a multi-tool is someone who doesn’t know how to sharpen a knife.’ So are scissors just training wheels for knife guys, or the most underrated tool in EDC?

| 9/20/25 |  The Best Tool on Any Multitool | The knife world’s been busy. Between talk of repealing the Federal Switchblade Act, Knife Rights dragging California’s ban into the 2nd Amendment spotlight, and Spartan Blades planting a flag in Europe, there’s a lot to chew on. Toss in your fiery takes on the one multitool function that stands above the rest, a confessional about Spyderco, and some new gear hitting the desk — and you’ve got this week’s Deep Cuts.Let's do the damn thing.0:44 Knife KnewsAKTI explains the messy reality if the Federal Switchblade Act is repealed.

| 9/6/25 |  Our Ancestors Didn’t Need These Tools. Do We? | This week, we’re going back 5,000 years to see what Ötzi the Iceman carried and what it says about our obsession with modern everyday carry. From copper axes and flint knives to Viking whetstones, we’re exploring whether today’s gear is an evolution of survival or just overkill. We’ve also got a new Show and Tell with the Gatorz Rig, community takes on drop culture and the “curator” debate, and a confessional about loving gear just for the sake of it.

| 7/15/25 |  Why the &%$!

| 6/7/25 |  Why You’re Carrying Too Much Knife | Apparently, small knives aren’t “real” knives—at least according to some of the recent comments. In this episode of Deep Cuts, I explain why you don’t need a big knife for most daily tasks, and why I’ve been leaning hard into smaller blades lately. I also break down the lawsuit Gavin Hawk just filed against Microtech (yeah, the timing’s wild), talk through this week’s Community Carry, and try to solve a puzzle box on camera.

| 5/31/25 |  Everyday Carry Is A Lie… | Apparently, the only way to qualify for “everyday carry” is if you never change your gear—ever. At least, according to one spicy community comment. In this episode of Deep Cuts, I break down why that take isn’t totally wrong… but also why it completely misses the point. I walk through what EDC really means (or used to mean), share what’s in my pockets right now, and dive into the gear I keep coming back to. Plus: this week’s Community Carry, a PowerPint defense, a slingshot showdown, and a sneak peek at next week’s collab reveal.0:38 Community Hot Take"It's not everyday carry if you rotate everything every day!"2:00 What's My Pocket- Big Idea Design Overlook https://shrtm.nu/bigidesign- Tactile Knife Co Redhawk https://shrtm.nu/tactile- Big Idea Design Pocket Pro Bronze https://shrtm.nu/bigidesign- Garmin MARQ Adventurer - Best Damn EDC Topo Zippo https://shrtm.nu/JwxSVtO- CC x Rustic Heirloom Hitchhiker Honeycomb https://shrtm.nu/lpm6jSV- SOG PowerPint https://amzn.to/3SGGRUs- Lumintop Frog 2 https://amzn.to/3SGdIc25:38 Carry Of The Week8:32 Just One Question12:52 On My Radar- TKell WharnEDC https://shrtm.nu/IbY9zGX- Pro-Tech Antique PVD https://shrtm.nu/Z4Rw0Xk- RMJ Mortifier Micro Axe at Monkey Edge https://shrtm.nu/i6xF8Xj- UltiClip APH (comes out at Blade Show) https://shrtm.nu/Ypjn1ZX15:29 Up The Ante (Taylor vs Rikki)Submit your carry: edcw.coSubscribe to the newsletter: weekly.bestdamnedc.comFollow @bestdamnedc / @edc.weekly on Instagram | 21m 57s | ||||||
