ULTEMate
Our Take
Overall Description
This EDC loadout is heavily focused on blades and writing implements, with a clear aesthetic preference for the Ultem material, as the user notes. The presentation is very organized, displayed within a tray, suggesting a deliberate and curated collection. The color scheme is dominated by earth tones and golds, creating a cohesive look. It leans towards a "gearhead" aesthetic, prioritizing function and unique materials over minimalist simplicity. The inclusion of knife scales and couplers suggests the user enjoys customizing and maintaining their tools.
Pros
The loadout demonstrates a high level of preparedness with multiple cutting tools. The inclusion of a lighter is practical. The pens are useful for everyday tasks. The Dango wallet appears to be a quality item, and the overall selection suggests a focus on durable, well-made gear. The variety of knives indicates a thought-out approach to different cutting needs.
Suggestions
While the loadout is comprehensive in some areas, it lacks some common EDC items. A dedicated flashlight or headlamp would be a valuable addition for low-light situations. A first-aid kit, even a small one, is always a good idea. The loadout appears to be very blade-heavy; consider if all the knives are truly necessary for daily carry or if some are redundant. A multi-tool could consolidate some of the knife functions.
