The article reviews top multi-tools and knives emphasized for their quality and functionality for everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts. It highlights Leatherman's reign in creating versatile multi-tools, particularly the Wave+ for its 18 tool features in a portable design. The James brand's Carter knife stands out due to its impressive craftsmanship, appealing design, and the satisfaction it brings users. Meanwhile, the Opinel No. 7 is recognized for being practical yet affordable, perfect for casual use, especially during travel, reflecting a rich heritage in knife-making from France.
When it comes to multi-tools, Leatherman quite literally invented the category. While Switzerland's famous army knife has kicked around since the turn of the 19th century, Tim Leatherman was the first to create the pliers-plus-knife multi-tool that adventurers everywhere have come to know and rely on.
For a long time, I was a James brand doubter. EDC nerds love the brand, and they love it loudly. Go to any Reddit forum, IG story, or IRL demonstrations, and you're going to see James brand.
Opinel's No. 7 is a knife you can afford to lose, not that you'll want to. The heritage French brand manufactures has been making knives in the Alps since 1890.
