Super Limited EDC Drops to Kick Off 2025

From the Scandinavian puukko, a blade born out of necessity and perfected over centuries, to the intricate folding knives of French artisans, winter was the season of innovation. It was a time to experiment with new designs, try different steels, and create blades that would be cherished for generations.

In the heart of winter, as fields froze and hunts slowed, blacksmiths of old turned to their forges. The colder months weren’t for resting but for crafting the tools that would define the year ahead. With time to experiment, smiths honed their skills, tested new steels, and created blades that balanced functionality and artistry. These knives weren’t just tools; they were heirlooms, designed to endure and excel in any task.

Today, the spirit of winter craftsmanship lives on in the EDC world. Whether it’s a precision-engineered tactical folder or a custom-made piece, every knife we carry connects us to this legacy of innovation and resilience born in the cold.

We finished off 2024 with a couple of roundups of our favorite knives of the year–– focusing on the best folders to come out last year and one to highlight what was one of the fastest growing segments of the knife world in 2024, EDC fixed blades.

Moving forward, you can expect some changes with the Best Damn EDC and EDC Weekly.

First, there is now an Instagram account dedicated to the EDC Weekly newsletter. This account will be used to spread additional news happening in the industry and—getting back to the roots of the Weekly—featuring notable carries that have been shared with us.

Secondly, video content on Best Damn EDC will be changing. I’ll save a deeper explanation of this evolution for a future video, but I know it will be a change everyone will appreciate.

Carry Commission

Next Thursday, we have a few restocks happening at Carry Commission and one new product. The Rustic Heirloom Hitchhiker in Cognac and the Pro-Tech Malibu with a topo green handle and Wharncliffe MagnaCut blade make their returns.

We’re also introducing a brass and copper Cash Stash that comes in the form of a 44 Auto Mag. It’s good for holding one bill for emergency cash or other small items. Personally, I use mine to hold a hefty dose of ibuprofen.

Columbia River Knife and Tool came out swinging in 2025 with a host of new releases announced yesterday. Some staples were updated, like the M16 getting a crossbar lock, the Squid sporting a button lock, and the Minimalist getting a Nessmuk blade shape. But that’s just scratching the surface. There are OTFs, EDC fixed blades, and some limited editions. You can see the full lineup at crkt.com.

Weiss Watch Company released the 38mm Titanium Standard Issue Field Watch with a Latte Dial and Saguaro Green Hands, inspired by the Sonoran Desert's iconic cacti. This limited-edition design (only 20 pieces) reflects tranquil desert tones and enduring landscapes, blending nature and heritage into a timeless piece.

Amy Valerious of Warlander Enterprises dropped a handful of fixed blades yesterday, including her Moray, Stout, Raptor, Mamba, Talon, Mantis models. Both available in A2 tool steel, the Talon and Mantis are EDC fixed blades that come with leather pocket sheaths. All other knives in this drop are larger fixed blades that ship with leather belt sheaths. The finishing, material choices, and the leather craft from Warlander are second to none.

Vero Engineering is doing an early presale for the Bacon Damascus Lux Mini 3.3 today at 11 AM EST. The official Lux drop is expected to happen late this month, but this Bacon Damascus presale is expected to ship before then. The Lux 3.3 features a 3.25” hollow grind blade, 7.25” overall length, and bead-blasted, internally milled titanium handles with ceramic bearings.

Big Idea Design is doing a limited release of its production Ti Lookout in OD Green Cerakote (use code CARRYON for 10% off). Like the standard production, this features an M390 blade, Grade 5 titanium scales, and a Kydex sheath with a deep carry titanium clip. I also heard on good authority that Big Idea Design is announcing a massive $1000 giveaway in this video.

via T Kell Knives

T Kell Knives is opening up reservations for several popular fixed blades—the Combatant, Piranha, Nightstalker (OG, CQC, and CG), and Nighthawk on 1/15. This is a presale, so some orders may take three to six months for delivery.

Null Knives will release three all-new Voodoo variants next week. Super Purple Haze will retail for $420 and sports a hollow ground M390 blade with a belt satin finish. The Odin’s Eye Damasteel versions—Purple Haze CF and Gold Camo CF— will retail for $600 and $620, respectively. These new variants drop on January 15, but you can check out more photos and specs now.

Arcane Designs and Blade Binge are collaborating on an exclusive “Dark Mode” Automaton next Friday, 1/17 at 1 PM EST. The Dark Mode features a full titanium construction, a PVD coating with teal accents, an S90V blade, and precision craftsmanship by Reate, this knife is priced at $349 and is limited to just 80 pieces.

Carry of the Week

There’s nothing special about my carry. My EDC is also irrelevant to my profession but I always carry a knife, flashlight, pen, and bottle opener. The CRK Umnumzaan is my ultimate favorite and have the most pocket time amongst my collection. I love how the NGMCo pocket clip perfectly matches the knife. Happy New Year, by the way.
