EDC with DG53

Day 3 of enjoying Copenhagen. Banish is a great fidgety blade and the S0 is a very functional tool that disappears in your pocket.

Day one of staying legal in Denmark without sacrificing the gear. Must be careful here. Any locking blade is illegal in Denmark. Even slip joints, if bigger than 7 cm, are illegal. I would have carried the Corgi V. The Flex Companion it’s an amazing option to still have a multitool with you, but no sharp blades. As you can see, I slapped it out for two other usable tools. The Arkpro is always with me plus the other goodies in my pocket slip. I love my Olight Friendship pen and light combo too! See you tomorrow for another update. Drop a 🇩🇰 if you’re look forward to seeing day two of my Denmark carry!

The Reality: Most people think being an EDC enthusiast means leaving the gear at home when you fly. I’m here to prove them wrong.
The Clarification: I just cleared security at O’Hare with the purple tool you see in Slide 1. It’s a Roxon Flex, but with a travel-safe mod. I swapped the blades for a screwdriver and a custom pen/tweezer combo. No edge, no points, zero issues with TSA.
Combined with my Olight Arkfeld and brass bolt-action pen, I’ve got full utility at 30,000 feet without breaking a single rule.
The Trip: I’m heading to Copenhagen—a city with some of the world’s strictest knife walls. Slide 2 shows the “Small Blade” lineup waiting in my checked bag. Over the next week, I’ll be testing which sub-2.5 inch blade actually earns its keep in a strict urban environment.
Next Stop: Amsterdam for the connection. See you in the Netherlands. 🇳🇱

In the pocket today as I kick off my spring break :-) Love my PM2, the Lander 1 and the Psyop. The Lander 1 is sporting scales and custom little lulu lanyard.
