Introducing the EDC Warehouse ‘EDC Knife Forum’
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the EDC knife forum! This new community platform allows UK enthusiasts to connect and discuss all things EDC gear, from knives to tools to lifestyle.
Here at EDC Warehouse, our goal is to both provide quality gear and create a welcoming space for the UK EDC community. The forum takes this vision further by giving members a place to interact. There are many great international EDC communities, but local enthusiasts still lacked a dedicated UK-focused home.
Until now, that is! Read on to learn more about our forum and why we started it.
An EDC Knife Forum for UK Enthusiasts
EDC gear forums usually centre around the wide world of knives. As handy and versatile tools, it’s no wonder blades ignite so much passion among their collectors and users. However, UK owners face strict knife laws that impact the features and styles locally available.
Our UK-based knife forum provides a space to discuss EDC knives relevant to our regulations. Talk about your favourite legal carry slip-joints, or get advice choosing your next SAK. With fellow Brits, you can skip lengthy disclaimers about what’s restricted in the UK.
The knife focus also provides a foundation to our community. But the discussion extends beyond just blades to all the gear that makes EDC possible. Share your favourite screwdriver pen and collapsible water bottle. Recommend a slim wallet or watch band. The everyday carry lifestyle brings together a range of useful tools and accessories.
Our forum aims to unite enthusiasts around all forms of EDC while providing a UK-specific knife venue at its core.
Share Your EDC
The EDC community thrives on sharing gear choices and load-outs. At its heart, EDC is a personalised pursuit, with each person tailoring their carry to match lifestyle needs. Seeing how others configure and customise their kits provides endless inspiration.
The “Rate your EDC” forum section offers members a place to post their rotating carries and daily essentials. Introduce your line-up with a rundown of the tools and items you rely on. Explain how your profession and hobbies influence your choices, along with any other personal insights that make your EDC unique. More, users can critique and make suggestions so we can all improve our daily carries.
Don’t forget to include plenty of photos showing off your well-loved tools! Part of the fun is seeing how use and customisation add character over time.
Gain Expert Knife Knowledge
A passion for EDC naturally leads to seeking out the best performing gear in each category. Knife enthusiasts especially appreciate quality materials and designs that stand the test of time. As your interest grows, you’ll likely find yourself wanting to learn more about blade steels, locking mechanisms, opening systems, and other knife minutiae.
Rather than scouring endless generic knife sites, our forum will eventually provide UK-specific knowledge direct from enthusiasts like you. Ask about what steel will best hold an edge within your budget. Get advice choosing an EDC knife to gift your grooms-men. Discover maintenance tips that help your tools last a lifetime.
With so many members’ hands-on experience, you can gain nuanced insider recommendations tailored specifically to UK EDC.
Recommend Gear and Mods
As your EDC evolves, part of the fun is discovering new tools and accessories to integrate into your kits. Before you buy, utilize the wisdom of the EDC Warehouse community!
The gear recommendation subforum allows you to ask for suggestions choosing your next knife, multi-tool, torch, watch, and more. Outline the specifications you need and your budget constraints. Fellow members will chime in with models that fit the bill, often providing mini-reviews of gear they personally use.
You can also share clever EDC modifications that enhance utility and functionality. Post your lanyard mods, DIY waterproofing, custom scales, and other improvements for members to admire. Part of the fun is personalising gear to better suit your needs!
Connect With Fellow UK EDCers
While the gear itself provides endless fodder for discussion, communities thrive most when members build personal connections as well. The off-topic and introductions section of the forum lets UK EDCers chat and get to know one another.
Maybe you’ll form local groups to meet up at the pub and compare kits. Or discover a hiking buddy who appreciates multi-tools as much as you do. Build real friendships around this shared interest.
Our community also provides a supportive space for newcomers to learn and ask questions without judgement. You don’t need “cred” or the most expensive gear to join in. All it takes is an interest in EDC and a friendly attitude!
The Future of the EDC Knife Forum
This launch marks just the beginning of the resources and events to come from the EDC Warehouse forum. As the community grows, we plan to add:
Member reviews and usage reports on gear
Spotlights and interviews with UK EDC personalities
Group events like meetups and giveaways
Expanding topical sections around other EDC categories
Our team at EDC Warehouse can’t wait to support this community however we can. But ultimately, the members make the forum what it is. We can’t succeed without passionate UK EDCers contributing their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives.
Together, we can make this THE go-to place for discussing EDC gear and connecting with fellow enthusiasts in the UK. Thank you for being part of our vision – now let’s start talking EDC!
