About Me
The Goal
I'm a 29 year old software developer from the East Midlands and I love EDC, tools and tech. I started Elite EDC because I hate not being able to find a high quality, unbiased review of a product I might want to buy. It seems some reviewers are more interested in promoting products than providing honest feedback. Others unbox products, have a quick look, and call it a review. Elite EDC is a place where I will provide something different: honest, long-term reviews, with decent photos, by someone who actually carries the stuff every day.
Everything reviewed on this site gets proper daily use before I write a word about it. That means carried in pockets, thrown in bags, taken on trips. I want to know how it performs in the real world, not just on a desk for a few minutes. I'll be honest about the good and the bad in equal measures.

A Note on UK Knife Law
UK knife law is strict and we take it seriously. Any knife reviewed for everyday carry will be assessed against current UK legislation - non-locking blades under 3 inches for public carry. We'll always flag what's legal to carry in public and what isn't.
Our Rating System
Scores are out of 10. I will probably never give a 10/10 - nothing is perfect. A 9+ is stellar. A 7–8 is solid with notable caveats. Below 6 is probably a do-not-recommend for most people.
