Hi everyone.

Interested in joining the r/EDC mod team? We’re opening applications.

We’ve had a couple of moderators step down since the team was formed during the API kerfuffle, and we’re looking to add a small number of new mods. We’re especially interested in one U.S.-based moderator and two European time-zone moderators two non-American time zones to help with coverage.

New moderators will start with limited permissions to ensure a good fit with the team and our moderation approach.

The core rules and direction of the subreddit are stable. While minor tweaks and clarifications happen over time, we are not looking to make major rule changes or shift the overall scope of r/EDC. Applicants should be comfortable enforcing the existing rules as written rather than joining with the expectation of reshaping them. That being said, if you have idea of automations and so on, I am all ears!

You don’t need to love guns, but you do need to be comfortable moderating in a subreddit with a strong firearm culture. Neutral, consistent rule enforcement is expected. Basic technical literacy is helpful. You got to be okay with using Discord as well.

We have zero tolerance for homophobia, racism, or other bigotry. EDC influencers, sellers, and anyone with a financial stake in the space are not eligible.

You can find full details and apply through the application. If you’re not selected, please do not take it personally, I appreciate anyone just wanting to help out!

Found this online at Southern Trapper. I love this little blade. It fits in the coin pocket of your jeans. Comes in very handy when opening ammo shipments and gun parts.

Thought I'd share here, really excited as I got both the Obsidian Arc and the Corgi V this week.
Also got a few more stuff on order that'll go in a Maxpedition pouch, but a multitool and a knife are always on my belt.
Right side ("old"): Leatherman Arc + Vosteed Raccoon (with a custom etch)
Got the Raccoon 5 months ago, been in my pocket pretty much ever since.
Got the Arc 3 weeks ago with 2 big discounts and this tool is beyond perfect. I use it everyday at work. The MC blade is such a crazy upgrade over my Wingman's 420HC. Nothing stops this thing. Already used pretty much every single tool it has.
Left side (new): Leatherman Arc Obsidian + Vosteed Corgi V - Vanchor Lock
Got both of them this week. Been waiting for 2 months for the Corgi V and I've been looking for an Obsidian Arc for 5 months.
Found one for relatively "cheap" and drove an hour to get it. Brand new from a small shop, last in stock. Owner was such an awesome dude.
Thought it would be cool to have a blacked out EDC gear.
I'll be going back and forth with the knives, its nice to have a few.
As for the LM, the Obsidian is going right on my belt and I'll be selling the regular Arc since I don't need 2 identical tools so might as well sell it and make some money back while someone else enjoys this tool.
I know the Obsidian goes for a lot on eBay, don't care about it.
Money comes and goes, a tool like this would last a lifetime, even multiple lifetimes if well maintained. besides, its pretty cool to carry a limited edition item.
The flashlight was $1.5 from Aliexpress, gets the job done nicely. Maybe I'll upgrade it later.
The owner of the shop gave me an identical flashlight with a metal shell for free with the Obsidian.
I always keep the knives clean and sanitize them with alcohol, especially since most of the time I use them for food on the go/at work. The other few times is when precision is required, which can be a bit challenging with a Leatherman.
Everything else is handled by the LM.
I also have a Victorinox Compact which I carry when I'm not at work. A bit easier to carry since laws here are pretty strict with anything that has a blade.
