Copper is one of the oldest metals mankind ever discovered, with various tools and artwork dating back as far as 9,000 BC. Shockingly, it’s still in use today for everything from electrical wiring to everyday carry gear. It’s the latter that concerns us, in this case, as copper can add a bit of unique flair to any EDC loadout. And while it’s a bit heavier than, say, titanium, it’s still plenty durable and even has some benefits that titanium and stainless steel don’t have — like its ability to age and acquire a unique patina through usage and exposure to the elements. Spice up your everyday carry with this unique element and it will always stand out.
