Everyday carry gear can provide a lifetime of dependable use but the most premium options around won’t come cheap. This is why we look forward to Black Friday each and every year so we can finally snag some top-shelf EDC items, often at bargain basement prices. And although there’s a lot to sift through, we’re here to help, scouring the space to find the steepest and most noteworthy discounts this year. Check out our guide to the best everyday carry deals this Black Friday.
Article Overview
Chrome Industries
From its durable, water-resistant rolltop that keeps your gear dry no matter what the weather looks like to its ergonomic design that’s incredibly comfortable during longer treks, the Barrage 22L from Chrome’s Red X Collection is our backpack of choice, whether we’re commuting to work or simply riding around town on our bike. This time around, the Portland-based bag maker has really outdone itself, updating the pack with a welded floating tarp liner made from recycled auto-glass that’s much lighter in weight.
In terms of space, you get an extra 3L if needed with an expandable top, an interior 16-inch laptop sleeve, and easy-access organizational compartments on the outside as well for any of your tech or EDC accessories. Sold with a lifetime warranty, the pack is a fantastic investment and is made from PFAS-free materials so you can wear it with a good conscience. This Black Friday, enjoy 30% off site wide from Chrome, with some deeper discounts getting as far down as 50%.
Aer
Characterized by their sleek minimalistic design and use of premium materials in hardware, Aer makes some of the best everyday carry backpacks that money can buy, and Black Friday has traditionally been the one and only time that the San Francisco company offers a site wide discount — with this year’s sale seeing 20% off being offered across the board.
Alpaka
Another one of our favorite everyday carry brands — Alpaka — is holding a pretty generous sale for Black Friday, as everything on its website is now being sold at 50% off, making right now objectively the best time to acquire one of Alpaka’s backpacks, slings, EDC organizers, pouches, keychains, or totes.
Bellroy
Whether you need a Dopp kit, sling, backpack, or wallet, the catalog from Aussie outfit Bellroy is always worth a look — even more so right now as it’s currently giving customers a 20% site wide discount (though this only applies when spending $75 or more).
Big Idea Design
From pens to knives to watches to multi-tools, everything that Big Idea Design makes is currently being marked down by 20% across the board, with this generous site wide sale going on all Black Friday.
Black Ember
With a 25% site wide discount currently being held, we’d recommend checking out some of the steals being offered by Black Ember its biggest and most noteworthy annual sale.
CIVIVI
CIVIVI is another brand that offers quality value-laden knives that are perfect for EDC. And if you don’t already own one of their blades, now’s the ideal time to pick up an Elementum, a Baby Banter, or any of its other knives as the company is offering 28% off on most of its regularly-priced products.
CodeofBell
With CodeofBell routinely crafting its products from some of the finest materials and hardware available, its soft goods are of extremely high quality, though as a result they often carry steep — yet justifiable — MSRPs. And that’s why right now is the perfect time to pull the trigger on picking up an item or two from CoB as its Black Friday sale is giving buyers 20% off across its entire catalog (though this only applies when spending $75 or more).
Dango
As our of our all-time favorite EDC brands, we couldn’t be more thrilled to hear that Dango is currently offering a 65% discount in a huge variety of its gear.
Field Notes
With a 25% discount being offered on the vast majority of its notebooks and accessories, Black Friday is the perfect time to stock up on EDC items or pick up a few discounted stocking stuffers for the upcoming holiday season.
Gerber
Another pretty outstanding EDC deal being held this Black Friday is Gerber marking down its whole product catalog by up to 50% from axes, machetes, and shoves, to multi-tools, fixed blades, and folders.
Hogue
From sidearms and accessories to some of the best tactical and EDC knives out there, Hogue’s entire catalog of kit is being marked down by 15% for Black Friday.
Kershaw
Most of Kershaw’s knives already offer pretty solid bang-for-your-buck, but with an additional 35% being knocked off for Black Friday, there’s really no excuse not to add a Kershaw blade to your collection or loadout.
KeySmart
If you’re still using a traditional keyring, now really is the time to upgrade your loadout with one of KeySmart’s key organizers or keychains as the outfit has marked down its entire catalog by 25% for Black Friday.
Leatherman
Leatherman’s online configurator allows you to customize multi-tools for yourself, a friend, or a loved one, elevating an already great gift and making it that much more personalized. For this year’s Black Friday sale, Leatherman has announced that it’s holding a 50% off sale on all items created in its Custom Shop, plus a 20% discount on its classic multi-tools.
Mission Workshop
There’s absolutely no denying that Mission Workshop produces some of the very best backpacks and bags that money can buy, though there’s also no denying that the San Francisco label’s carry solutions come at a very, very steep price. And it’s because of this that its Black Friday sale is such a big deal, as it’s not only giving buyers 20% off, but the deal also includes an extra 20% off on another future order, plus a free bag of Bicycle Coffee — by using promo code “BF24” at checkout.
NOMAD
Moving on to the steepest discount being offered on EDC gear this Black Friday, NOMAD is giving customers a slew of markdowns of up to 80% off on some of its most popular products.
Olight
Just like Gerber, Olight’s whole catalog is being sold at a generous 50% discount for its Black Friday sale — plus it applies to Olight’s OKnife line of knives and multi-tools in addition to its flashlights.
Orbitkey
Just like Field Notes, Orbitkey is selling most of its catalog at a 25% discount for the ongoing Black Friday sale, making now the best time of the year to pull the trigger on picking up some of their key organizers, keyring, keychains, or accessories.
Peak Design
With very, very few exceptions, pretty much everything that Peak Design currently makes is being sold at a 20% markdown all day for Black Friday.
Pioneer
Though they do require a steep initial investment, Pioneer’s wallets legitimately last a lifetime, which is why today’s sale is the perfect opportunity to splurge on a Pioneer billfold or card-holder as everything on the company’s site is being sold at a generous 40% discount for Black Friday.
Prometheus Lights
From quick-release keychains to flashlights, Prometheus Lights makes some stellar everyday carry kit, and Black Friday is unequivocally the best time to add some of its gear to your EDC with discounts of up to 40% being offered on a huge array of items.
Quiet Carry
Quiet Carry makes some truly incredible folding knives and fixed blades — the latter of which the company is selling at a 20% discount for today’s ongoing Black Friday sale.
Rite In The Rain
Rite In The Rain is another noteworthy EDC brand that’s offering a super noteworthy deal for Black Friday, as it’s not only giving customers a 20% site wide discount, but it’s also got certain select items being sold at discounts of up to 60%.
Tactile Turn
With all of the boutique brand’s pens being precision-machined in small batches in Texas, they usually carry somewhat exorbitant prices, though with a 15% discount for Black Friday, it’s a lot easier to justify pulling the trigger on one of the company’s EDC writing instruments — as they really do make some of, if not the very best everyday carry pens out there.
Tanner Goods
Tanner Goods produces fine leatherwork that’s made in America, largely by hand, using old-world craftsmanship and construction techniques — resulting in a somewhat steep price tag much of the time. With 20% off being offered sitewide for Black Friday, it really is the best time of the year to treat yourself — or a friend or loved one — to some of the products from Tanner Goods.
WESN
Since its inception in 2017, WESN has strived to deliver heirloom-quality knives, tools, and accessories. Because of the high-end nature of WESN’s outstanding everyday carry gear, it’s frankly pretty surprisingly that the company is offering 47% off its entire catalog.
