Glock case EDC kit: knives pens flashlights etc
This is the way I keep all my smaller EDC items nowadays. The advantages of this system are: 1. Relatively compact and lightweight plus easily portable and capacious. 2. All the items are stored safely and securely even if the case is dropped. 3. Has a large durable handle. Disadvantages: 1. Had to cut a piece of foam for the upper side of the case (check out the link above to see how these come from the factory). For now I'm pretty satisfied with the looks and the functionality of this EDC case. If you liked the video please give it a thumbs up (really helps the channel) and comment down below how do you store your grab-n-go EDC stuff and what would you put inside a Glock case if you had one. Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one. Cheers!

Lionsteel KUR Clone EDC Flipper Knife - Awesome EDC blade with 4 G10 color options!
A great new offering from the Chinese clonemakers - the Lionsteel KUR clone.
While they (still) didn't make a copy of the color-changing aluminum handle, they did produce the more budget 4 color G10 alternative, which will give you taste of the great Lionsteel design.
The knife features a liner-lock, ball bearings in the pivot, a flipper tab as the primary deployment method, mystery steel on the blade (probably 9Cr18) and a deep carry wire clip.
At the price point of ~$40 this could serve as an awesome budget EDC blade.
Knife can be found here: Lionsteel KUR Clone
Original is sold here: Genuine Lionsteel KUR

The Dwaine Carrillo Tunnel Ratt Clone Review + vs Medford Praetorian Clone - Battle of Clone Beasts!
There is a segment in the knife world, where size and weight make no difference - the overbuilt hard use no nonsense folders, which are appreciated only for strength - strength and durability. These monsters are very popular and usually have a pretty high price-tag, so they are being cloned on regular basis.
One of those folders, that I owned, was the Praetorian clone and another, which I received now is the Dwaine Carrillo Tunnel Ratt Clone, and I would like to compare them and make a review of the Ratt on the way.
I'll start with the things that are similar in both knives - they both have great lockup, pretty good action for a knife on washers, similar construction (steel frame + G10 scale) and approximate weight of 8oz (227g).
The Praetorian - has better finish (soother edges), is less thick behind the edge and sharper .
The Tunnel Ratt - has better ergonomics (thicker handle and better gimping), thicker blade (6mm), and one handed opening (over sized thumb studs). It also has a far better pocket clip.
The looks are very subjective - some like the looks of the Praetorian, others prefer the Tunnel Ratt.
Verdict - both blades will serve you well, not as EDC knives, but as hard use folders.
Praetorian is slimmer and wider, while the Tunnel Ratt is chubbier.
If you care about one handed opening - Tunnel Ratt is the way to go.
If you live in a state/country, where one handed opening is prohibited - get the Praetorian.
Anyway - if you liked the one, you will most probably like the other.
