Having a reliable everyday carry or EDC knife is essential for many knife enthusiasts. Knives are incredible useful and versatile tools, so having a good knife by your side can help you tackle most of the challenges the day might throw at you. Like most types of knives, EDC knives don’t fall into just one category. Some people need a strong fixed blade by their side while others will do fine with a small folding pocket knife. At The Knife Connection, you can find thousands of high quality knives from several of the industry’s top manufacturers and knife makers. You can even create your own custom EDC knives using their Knife Builder tool! Whatever it is you value in a knife, you’ll find plenty of great options at The Knife Connection.

When choosing the EDC knife for you, you have to consider exactly what factors matter most to you as far as the tasks you encounter throughout your day. Do you need a folding knife that is compact and easy to carry or is a fixed blade belt knife going to offer you the most utility? You can use The Knife Connection’s advanced filters to help narrow your search based on the knife characteristics that matter most to you.

If you need some help getting started, the team at The Knife Connection has taken some of their favorite EDC options and created a Every Day Carry Knives category in their store. All of these knives have blades that are under 5.5” in length, making them all great candidates for throwing in a pocket or strapping to your belt every time you head out. You can also look at specific brand pages or search for the type of knife you want.

If you want a fixed blade EDC knife with a certain look and feel, you should check out The Knife Connection’s Knife Builder tool. This unique feature lets users choose from popular knife models from either ESEE Knives, The Ontario Knife Company, or the Knife Connection’s own Architect Knives and build their own custom EDC knives. Once you have found a model that works for you, you can choose the finish of the blade and the handle scale colors to get the perfect look. Once you have chosen both of these features, you will also be able to create a complete package to go with your new knife.

The next section of the Knife Builder involves choosing the sheath system and accessories that will go with your new knife. The sheaths systems offered will all depend on the model of knife you have chosen to build. You will typically be able to choose between a leather, nylon, kydex, or plastic sheath. Some of these options can also be combined with sheather backers and accessories like pouches for storing other useful tools along with your knife. You can also choose to add from a list of other useful accessories including portable knife sharpeners and lengths of paracord.
