Since we no longer have to wait outside big box stores to score discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the rush of chasing down a discounted PlayStation at your local big box store isn't quite there anymore. But what we've gained from the digitization of Cyber Monday far outweighs what we've lost. Now, the best thing about the post-Thanksgiving shopping holiday is that you can find deals on stuff you actually want without catalog pre-planning or schlepping to the store with a hangover.
The Tekto A3 Delta Mini is the espresso shot of the EDC world, condensing Tekto's wildly popular A3 Delta into a smaller, more potent form. It is a bold, concentrated dose of tactical utility delivered in a sleek, compact form. The design wastes no motion, offering a potent, automatic deployment that gets straight to the point. The premium titanium-coated D2 steel blade is the rich, flavorful core, providing a robust cutting edge that performs well above its weight class.
Most of us have struggled with key rings that jam in your pocket, carabiners that tangle with everything else in your bag, or split rings that pop open at the worst possible moment when you're rushing to unlock something important. Everyday carry should be about readiness and preparation, not frustration and fumbling with gear that fights you instead of helping you stay organized and efficient throughout your day.
EDC tools have evolved far beyond simple utility, becoming personal statements that reflect both function and philosophy. The best examples tell a story through their design, creating moments of delight that transform mundane tasks into something memorable. HatchBlade, a titanium everyday carry tool currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, takes this concept to its logical conclusion by literally embodying transformation in both form and motion.
