Green might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we definitely favor the more natural-inspired hue reminiscent of evergreen trees. Dare we say, everyday carry gear in this color exudes an extra elegance that other colors simply can’t nail. For this EDC loadout, we’re celebrating this evergreen colorway with knives, watches, and more.
Article Overview
Leatherman Glider
This month, the most revered name in the world of multi-tools debuted its first serious line of knives. Among the five-knife collection, the Glider sits as one of two folders, and showcases some serious engineering. Using just 12 components, which is significantly less than your average premium folding blade, the Glider features handles milled from solid stainless steel billets that have been internally cored for both balance and weight. These come in raw steel or Cerakote-finished colorways.
Speaking of balance, the grip is complemented with a 3-inch modified sheepsfoot blade perfect for everyday utilitarian tasks. The blade is secured with Leatherman’s new patent-pending Compression Wedge Lock mechanism that utilizes a button that slides inward when the blade opens and is incredibly easy to use.
Parafernalia Shaker Pen
You have click pens, twist pens, and even bolt action pens. But if you’ve been hankering for a new way to deploy your ink, behold Parafernalia’s innovative Shaker Pen.
Available in an array of colors including the green option here, the pen eliminates the need for additional components like caps or clickers, instead making the nib available when you shake the device. When you’re ready to retract it back into the anodized aluminum and chrome-plated brass housing, you simply shake it again. Stretching over 4” in length, it’s compatible with S 635 mini refills.
Pioneer Carry Matter Bifold
Pioneer Carry is one of our favorite EDC brands for its dedication to stylishly minimalist gear that manages to maintain a no-frills attitude. Making a name for its bags and slings, the company actually makes one of our favorite wallets as well, with the super-slim Matter Bifold that combines capacity with low-profile — two things that should be antithetical.
Available in an array of colors and materials, we’re partial to the matte 3XD version you see here, built from a 3-ply nylon fabric that’s both dirt and water resistant. Open up the bifold to reveal four compartments, altogether holding upwards of 12 cards, along with some bills. You’ll also get some RFID protection to keep your personal info safe.
Seiko 5 Sports SRPD63
Seiko needs no introduction, and its flagship 5 Sports collection is about as stylish and versatile as they come. Somehow keeping things relatively affordable at a smidge above $300, the SRPD63 model is powered by the in-house Caliber 4R36 automatic movement, which is visible through the Hardlex caseback. Nevertheless, you still get a solid 100m of water resistance.
You get significant wrist presence from this 42.5mm stainless steel cushion case with an offset crown and elegant day-date display that matches the green and rose gold colorway brilliantly. We love the off-white LumiBrite lume on the thick hands and hour markers, which brings vintage charm to this watch without being too overt. Lastly, the case is paired with a stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp.
