Knife makers seem to be embracing spring cleaning—just not in the traditional sense. This week brought a flurry of fresh drops, surprise restocks, and seasonal one-offs across the EDC world. From titanium slipjoints with retro vibes to medieval-inspired MagnaCut folders, the final days of March are stacked.
We’re joining the fun with a Whatnot stream today featuring hardware-swapped Clingmans, a table full of gear, and a blue Hinderer XM-18 up for grabs.
Let’s do the damn thing!

Upcoming at BDEDC
We will be going live on Whatnot today at 4 PM EDT. We’ll have all sorts of goodies for sale and a handful of giveaways, including a blue scale Hindered XM-18 that will be a buyer’s appreciation giveaway at the end of the stream.
The main course in this stream will be hardware-swapped Civivi Clingmans. We bought a whole bunch of them and swapped the micarta models to the black blade and hardware, and the G-10 scales to the satin blades. This is the only place you can buy a Clingman like this without having to buy two and swap them yourself. (Although I have to disclose that these will not come with a warranty.)
See you guys then!

Carry of the Week
I love Titanium and the Vice Anvil Croc tool was one of the first Ti gear I've ever owned. The Olight is an upgrade from the i1R 2 Pro on my keys. The Nottingham Tactical pen is the most recent pen I've purchased and it's the first non bolt action pen I own but I've been loving it since I got in September 2024.
The knife is my first ever knife purchase and it's from Blade Show Texas. The Keybar is special as it's stone carved customized by MLJ Bladeworx. The Keybar also has a Keanison Knife insert and I plan on putting my keys in as well. I can't decide between loving the Frag Pattern or the Stone Carved pattern.
If there's anyone that can Timascus the knife scales or just the knife and pen clips that would be awesome.
