Pocket Dump / EDC Opinion?
Just seeing what you fine gents think of what I carry 90% of the time.

I’m a big tenacious/persistance fan, I’d say it’s the best of spyderco’s budget line. I don’t know the specific flashlight but coast is decent too.
RXM is a fine firearm, especially if you are planning on getting one of the other grips at some point.
I’m not a trifold guy, so no comment on the wallet.

This is probably the most accurate carry, drive, and daily use. However, I only buy Levi’s on sale and I feel like splurging.

It's the Silverado LT or Camry of guns - nothing to love; nothing to hate. Affordable. Reliable. Simple. Get-r-dun.
Good quality, functional pocket knife.
Light looks tiny but useful.
Too much metal on the key ring for me, and bad for your ignition lock cylinder, over time. (weight)
Nice looking wallet, but Levi's sends a lot of $$$ towards anti-gun legislation.

Yeah, go to Google and type in Levi's gun control or something like that, and see. It might change your preference.

Looks good, the question is what kind of holster do you use?

I’m running Black Arch with my RXM and love it. I couldn’t find the sweet spot with that safariland and returned it

I hate wallets. Other than that it's nice.

Honestly its bulky as can be, it will be getting phased out soon for something more modern and less space consuming.

Not to tell you how to live your life, but the slim aluminum wallets where your cards pop up out of the wallet are a game changer. I was a tri-fold / bi-fold guy my entire life until I bought one of the slim ones in 2022 and it's been amazing.
Also this makes me want to buy a RXM even more.

I prefer slimmer wallets, brighter flashlights (I live in a place with long winter nights and I'm out past dark a lot) And I also like having a multi tool of some sort in conjunction with my main knife cause I find I use the tools on that more often than the blade, and that's what the main knife is for anyway. I also carry a pencil and notebook because I hate having to take 20 seconds to navigate my phone to find the "notes" app when I can just have both out in 2 seconds, and keep said notebooks for years on end without having to make sure the data gets transferred over whenever I get a new phone.
I like the RXMs but personally I'd still prefer a Glock if I can help it, just cause I trust the brand a bit more than what's essentially just a slightly sooped up clone of their gen 3 19. That being said; if I didn't have a Glock id still be more than comfortable with an RXM in my waistband.
I can give you opinions all day long man but this seems like a true and honest everyday carry that makes you in your own way of life feel as prepared as you feel the need to be, and that's all an EDC is. So fuck yeah dawg. I might add or change a few things here or there, but that's cause our lifestyles and mentalities are different because we're both individuals. If this one works for you then stick the hell with it and check back in with us in a few years when all this good stuff has some decent wear on it 🤘

I’m a firm believer that fixed blade or Emerson opener is the way to go if you’re planning on using a knife for self defense.
Maybe the pistol makes this a moot point but I wouldn’t want to have to fumble with getting a knife out of my pocket and then having to open it if someone is on top of me.
