What would be in your micro EDC kit?
Victorinox Manager gets you knife, pen (that actually works SO well), scissors, flathead and phillips, bottle opener, tweezers and a nail file in about the same space as your Bug/Honeybee. Sacrifice the tweezers for the Midnight Manager version and you’ve got a decent flashlight as well. Personally I prefer a Manager and a Rovyvon Aurora A8 which is the size of a chapstick, clips to your hat brim, and goes up to 650 lumens (along with having a lantern, red strobe, and UV). The travelcard plus is a nice addition to top up your phone in a pinch, the 21st century version of keeping quarters in your pocket for the pay phone.
I might just pick up a peanut lighter for testing, but a bic mini with a split ring for your keys and a zip tie to keep the button locked tends to last longer than zippo style wick lighters. The O-ring on the peanut might help with the butane evaporating though.
I'm a huge fan of the midnight manager and choose it for times when I want to carry *something* but feel like I'm carrying nothing.
The aim of the video was basically normal EDC items but smaller, but for practicality purposes, I do love 58mm SAK and Rovyvon pack a crazy amount of power and utility in their size category.
Victorinox Compact for the blade, pen, tweezers, toothpick and scissor, Maxpedition coin pouch to house keys to protect my pocket knife, Maxpedition LPW wallet, one Bandaid in the wallet, one half of a note card in the wallet.
Very solid set up! I like using the wallet space for more EDC.
Very interesting
Nice video. I carry the Victorinox Midnite Manager which covers a lot of my EDC needs. If I think I will need a lighter I carry my Zippo with a butane insert.
Thanks! THe Midnite Manager is one of my favourite SAKs in general, but definitely a standout in the 58mm range.
Nice video. Midnight Manager lite is what you’re describing with more functionality
I'm a big fan of the Midnite Manager (I have a whole video dedicated to it!), definitely a great all-in-once carry.
The sd manager gives you a knife a pen ,scissors and a Phillips screwdriver the olight and you have a nice keychain edc
If you can get your hands on, you should consider the Polymath Atom Light.
I love the atom light and put it on some of my SAKs! Such a great little thing for its size.
The reason I didn't include it in this is that, whilst it is a teeny tiny flashlight, I don't think it's practical enough to take the flashlight role alone in a set up.
I guess there are ways to use it but personally the bug is just a bit too small for me unless it's a back up last-ditch blade. Likewise the Classic/Rambler/Minichamp blade is a bit too small and thin for me unless it's a back-up.
A couple of small blades which I do find usable in their own right are the Ruike S-11L which is the same as the Bokerplus Techtool Mini 1. Also the blade on 74mm Victorinox is as long - about 2 inches - but not as deep but still pretty serviceable. Unfortunately I think they are now discontinued. I have an old Ambassador with camo scales which I bought used on Etsy - the 74mm camo scales are impossible to find - and a Moneyclip.
I personally prefer the Honeybee instead of the Bug, which is too small for me, and the mini Techtool is an excellent blade shape.
My Ambassador and Executive are cherished parts of my SAK collection, the blades feel so much more capable for such a small thickness increase in bladestock.
Options I'll have to include in a future video, unfortunately for the gimmick of the smallest tools that still work the Bug was the best I could do.
@@gearedforward Thanks for your reply!
@@simonh6371 No need, driving conversation and interacting with like minded folk is a big part of why I do this :)
Would you include your SAK classic as well as your multi tool? I guess I'd carry these things in a small bag in my pocket. Wouldn't want to weigh down my keys.
If I were to keep to the theme of the kit then I would substitute the bug for the Classic. I love redundancy in my EDC and the Spyderco is a better knife, but when going micro I try to make it as small pocket real estate as possible.
If you want all of this to go on your keys then I'd say go with the classic, bulky keys can be a pain!
try using those with freezing hands
Tricky for most! The iMini is well suited though. When I worked in fabrication dispatch I was on permanent night shift and outside half the shift, I carried a similar kind of light and the pull-to-activate style was fantastic for quickly checking serial numbers with my gloves on.
Not the greatest flashlight, but if your needs aren't demanding, the Victorinox Midnight Manager and Midnight Mini Champ are two of the greatest micro-multi-s in existence. I carry a standard Manager in my 5th pocket. And for my demands, that's all I need. My phone handles my light needs. But again... my demands aren't terribly demanding.
I'm a big fan of the Midnite Manager (I have a video for it on the channel), it's a great one-stop shop for a light and minimal carry.
@@gearedforward I'll check it out!
A SAK Manager lite would knock off 3 of those items albeit with a much smaller blade and not the best torch.
I'm a big fan of the Midnite Manager, excellent tool.
Very nice, but the iMini2 is out and is way better.
I agree (and have a video comparing the two), but the point of the video was really small but functional stuff.
I use a chums wallet
The imini is now obsolete with the new iMini2
The only thing the original has going for it still is the size, which is good for zipper pulls, but there are a lot of cons now in comparison to the 2.
OR.... You could just rock a Victorinox Midnight Manager and a mini Bic.
You certainly could, it'd just be a shorter video then!
@@gearedforward True! 😅👍
EDC when you wear your skinny jeans.
I just don't have the circulation to lift any more than this in those bad boys.
Can't hardly hear you!!!
Sorry about that, audio is an eternal struggle >
In 'Murica, EDC means GUN. Sometimes I wonder about you Brits.
For some Americans, I'm sure it does, but EDC means many things to many people around the world, it's all neat things to look at
