Today’s pop art inspired EDC pocket dump is a little bit funky. I was playing around with colors using Photoshop and added some blue and yellow. I kept the everyday carry gear untouched so it can still be seen properly but I went nuts on the background. What do you think?
I’m still here in Istanbul, Turkey so my EDC gear is minimal to say the least. I really didn’t want to bring too much with me from Australia as I was afraid of it being confiscated. And the prices of big name brands like Spyderco and Cold Steel are a little nuts here so I haven’t been buying much at all. I haven’t found anything from Zero Tolerance here but I’m guessing they would be ridiculously over-priced too. Which is a pity as there’s a few new knives released that I would like to get my hands on.
Pop Art Everyday Carry Pocket Dump
Lets start with the black/blue background that the gear is sitting on. It’s the larger sized Apple iPad Pro with a cheap fake leather case on it that is starting to fall apart on me. I don’t bother spending much on phone cases or iPad cases as they all seem to fall apart at the same speed. If I spend $10 or $200 they will both last me about 12 months. So I now look for a case below $50 and I expect to throw it away in 12 months or so.
With the EDC gear, starting from the top is the Streamlight, the ProTac 2AA torch. Yes it’s the same flashlight that I posted in my last EDC pocket dump picture but like I said, I don’t have a whole lot of gear to choose from as all of my stuff is packed in boxes back home in Australia. This is a great little flashlight by Streamlight though and I definitely recommend it.
In the middle is another item recently featured: Boker Plus K.I.D. Cal .50 carbon fiber tactical pen. I love carbon fiber, I love the size of the pen, and the clip makes it easy to carry without worrying about losing it. I also have a habit of playing with the bolt action mechanism on the pen. It’s very fidget friendly.
And lastly, but not leastly 😎 My most carried folding knife of the past couple years is the Zero Tolerance 0450CF. This little carbon fiber, blacked out flipper is a great EDC folder. I like it slightly more than the all titanium version as it’s just a fraction lighter and easier to carry in loose pants or shorts.

What are you carrying today? I’ve had a couple people send in their EDC photographs so I’m thinking of possibly sharing some in the future.
Remember to follow me out on Instagram now too. I had trouble starting a new account so I’m now using my “Blades of Oz” account that was used for my knife shop in Australia. I’ll probably be re-opening the knife shop when I get home, I haven’t decided yet.. partly because I don’t know when I’m going home yet.
