Nothing particularly original, but it's mine, so here goes.

  • Earfun Free 2: good for listening to podcasts on the go.
  • House keys: well, duh.
  • Olight imini: handy and really tiny flashlight.
  • Mini push dagger: oldest thing in there, got it more than 20 years ago. Says "United" & "Taiwan" on the sheath, so it likely is from United Cutlery.
  • Kershaw Launch 11: my current all-time favorite pocket knife. Small enough to fit in a 5th pocket (but not "deep-carry"), yet handles really well with my not-too-meaty hands.
  • Bellroy Card Sleeve Black: small enough to keep credit cards and such in regular pants' front pockets.
  • Zippo Lighter Spectrum: really a fidget toy for me since I do not smoke, so pretty though !
  • Kleenex mini pocket tissues: the runny nose unwavering companion.

Not on picture: Samsung Galaxy S20 with a Spigen Tough Armor case.

The kind that lives in the 21th century ๐Ÿ˜œ

Kidding aside, pens are relegated in my bag, which usually contains the wallet with ID, work laptop, noise-cancelling headset, hand sanitizer, glasses case, etc. Thus it's sort of EDC but not really.

@NeryK @Nusm Same, I find a pen useful to have but it's not a core part of my EDC. There's a pen in each of my bags. I have a little scrap of a pencil in my wallet along with a few scraps of paper just in case.
