Bring back the Edc!

 

[Big DJ]

The EDC is not retired?

I see the DEK1 being a standard pattern in the future. 2 and 3 were some fun variations but I don't anticipate running them again.

So does that mean that you will be making new EDC 1, 2 & 3's again?

We're starting a run of EDC 1.2 this year

Would you consider running them in Magnacut alongside Δ3V as you did with the Dek1?

What does "1.2" mean?

It'll be the EDC-1 but with the updated handle design and maybe a few small tweaks to it.


Not enough change that anyone's going to notice, just enough to frustrate the sheath makers.

Good thing Chad is a glutton for punishment.

A sharp knife will fit any sheath.

That is awesome news. I’ve been looking forward to another edc run.

I am wondering why you are choosing to mod the Edc1 instead of the 2?

No,no,no my friend. Jo the Machinist is the boss

Clearly because the the original EDC was Lorien’s perfect vision of the best possible EDC. While I appreciate Nathan’s thought process on the EDC2 & 3 variations, I don’t see them as an improvement on the original EDC masterpiece. YMMV.

I'll take any kind of EDC that he wants to produce.

Honestly, I prefer the EDC2 or 3 over the EDC1. The slightly different belly makes all the difference in my opinion.

Agreed, I like the profile and increased length of the 2 and 3
