EDC - What's In Your Pocket(s)??? Part 2

Gotta say I'm very happy with my EDC currently, and have really tweaked everything to my liking.

Watch: Certina DS Diver. Had this for almost five years now, still not tired of it. Not as sexy as Rolex, but very reliable and practical watch for every situation.
Knife: Hiroaki Ohta FK5. This obviously rotates. The black sleeve is for the knife and is made by me.
Comb: Kent Slim Jim. Great comb for short beard and dense enough for mustache too.
Pen: Fisher Space Pen (raw brass). Not much of a writer-on-the-go, so that's why I like it compact. Bonus points for being able to write on uneven surfaces and in cold. Some note papers in the wallet.
Wallet: Pouch wallet I made. Takes cards, some cash, band-aid and few note papers. Takes stuff but is comfy in front pocket.
Keys: Just few keys and Japanese brass hook with no knick-knacks.
Torch: Forgot it from the pic although I don't really carry it during the summer. Anyways, it is Fenix PD25. Perfect size, powerful enough for outdoors too and tail switch is absolute must.

Sorry for the exhausting read! :D

I also run a Kent Beard comb, i have the short one handed beard comb. I also don't run a flashlight as often as I should. I love my baton pro but I seem to always leave it on days that I need it most, job walk in a dark room or mech yard. I struggle with a proper EDC and being a minimalist. I hate having a bunch of stupid stuff in pocket but then I'm mad when I don't have it haha. Cheers!!

Yeah, you better have it or you'll need it! :D I don't carry mine in the summer because the sun barely sets here.
During the winter it's mostly dark in the contrast and then I do carry, not only to see but to be seen too (walking with the dog).

I carry extra flashlights/batteries during the summer. Monsoon season here is no joke, and power outages are an almost certainty.

Looks good! Someday, I'll get my perfect system figured out. I don't like rotating different items. I want to be more minimalistic, but I always feel the need to carry more to be prepared for everyday life... But I also like knives, and that's a never ending journey ;).
 
I actually do not own a camera. In my front right pocket, A William Henry Damascus Kestrel but it is not one of the super expensive ones, A Hanko Timascus flashlight bought new, one of those key systems, my car starter, a Leatherman Juice. Yeah it all fits. Rear right pocket, an inexpensive Yoder Alligator Wallet. I have a side holster for my Glock 9mm. I wear a shirt too big, in Chicago it must be concealed. I guess you can count 2004 Maui Jim sunglasses neutral grey glass. I do not like the new ones. I hope that does not sound snobbish. None of those items were very expensive when I purchased them.
