Frequently Asked Questions

The EDC Beater Program is our way of giving additional value back to customers who invest in a premium knife. Every serious EDC enthusiast knows you need two knives (at least...)— the one you baby, and the one you actually use hard every day without a second thought, lend out, leave in the truck, etc. Our EDC beater program offers several affordable knives at a flat $25, no gimmicks. These are knives that generally cost $30-55 on other sites depending on the model, but we'll offer them at a flat $25 as a way to offer some value back to you. These are tough, reliable folders selected specifically for the role — knives you can clip on, put to work, and not stress about.
When you purchase a knife or set of EDCustoms scales from us, we offer you the chance to add on some additional items at some of the industry's best prices. We have the ability to do this because we're not being saddled down with the cost to ship separate packages if you were purchasing those items as a standalone order, and we don't believe in using shipping & handling charges as a way to pad our bottom line. We view this as a value-added service to you, and hope that you agree!This discount cannot be used with other discounts, so during our site-wide launch the site-wide discount of 18% will apply.
We sure do! We ship manual folding knives to all 50 US states. Automatic knives and assisted-openers are subject to state and local restrictions — we verify compliance before shipping. It's always the buyer's responsibility to know the knife laws in their state and city.
Absolutely! Our website reflects our current in-stock selection, but it represents only a portion of what we can source. As an authorized dealer with established distributor relationships, we have access to a much broader catalog — including models that are temporarily out of stock, limited runs, and items we haven't yet added to the site. Reach out directly and we'll check availability and pricing for you.
Yes! If you're purchasing multiple knives — whether for yourself, as gifts, for a group buy, etc. — we can discuss bundle pricing. Contact us before placing a large order and we'll work out the best pricing we can offer.
We carry and can source from virtually all major and mid-tier knife brands available through US authorized distributors. This includes Spyderco, Zero Tolerance, REMETTE, Ontario Knife Company, Microtech, Knives of Alaska, Kershaw, ESEE, Cold Steel, Outdoor Edge, CJRB, CRKT, Boker, Vosteed, and many more. If there's a brand you don't see on the site, contact us — if it's available through legitimate US distribution channels, we can almost certainly get it.
For backcountry hunting, the best folding knives balance edge retention with corrosion resistance. Top picks include the Ontario RAT 1.5 in CPM-MagnaCut, the Benchmade Crooked River in S30V, and the Havalon Piranta with replaceable surgical blades. MagnaCut steel is the gold standard for a wet, and hopefully bloody field environment. We're big fans of the Rat 1.5 for this because a backcountry hunt may require out of state travel, so the size is generally perfect to not need to worry about varying local knife laws, and it's an affordable enough knife where if you lose it during the excitement of the hunt, while you certainly won't be happy about it, it also likely won't be a major financial disaster either. The MagnaCut steel, drop point blade has the right shape and steel characteristics to excel in the environment and for the task at hand of general field dressing, quartering, and skinning.
CPM MagnaCut is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel engineered by Dr. Larrin Thomas specifically for knives. It simultaneously maximizes edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance — three properties that normally trade off against each other in conventional steels. It's currently considered one of the best all-around knife steels available, and as you might be able to tell by our current product listing we are fans of it here!
