If I could only carry three things—for life—what would they be? We get into that, a featured carry from a personal friend, new Carry Commission exclusives, the best EDC gear from Ace Hardware, and more in this EDC Weekly.

Let’s do the damn thing.

This Week At BDEDC

Deep Cuts

If you had to strip your carry down to just three items—forever—what would make the cut?

This week, I put that question to the test and forced myself to pick only three pieces of EDC gear from my entire collection. It’s a fun hypothetical that we revisit every once in a while, and that also makes you weigh the importance of each piece in your carry.

What would be your three for life?

Ace Hardware EDC

After several years, we finally paid a visit to our local Ace Hardware to see how things have changed. Needless to say, we were surprised by some of the stuff we found—so much so that it sparked a whole new segment on Deep Cuts called EDC Confessionals. If you’ve got a guilty pleasure or interesting hot take that you want to submit anonymously to the show, you can do that here.

Carry Commission Drops

Here at Carry Commission, we rolled out a few new items over the last few weeks, like our exclusive version of the K9 Jack from Jack Wolf Knives, a plain blue anodized JRW Tough Clip, and more.

This coming week, we've got a surprise drop on Tuesday. I cant’ say much, but I do know a lot of you have been asking when we’d bring these back, so make sure you’re signed up for the Carry Commission email list. And this coming Thursday, we will be introducing UG Tools to Carry Commission, making us one of the two places where you can buy their award-winning 3D-printed titanium-handled knives in the US.
