An EDC is an item that you'd be comfortable carrying with you on a daily basis. The reasons for your choice can be a varied as your fingerprints, but usually it has to do with a combination of how valuable of an item are you willing to risk losing and what kind of use you're going to subject the object to.
What I might "need" while sitting in my shop is far different from what someone working in the field (let's say law enforcement, military, construction) might need. But "need" also often has nothing to do with "want" as we all know.
So, it's often about you and what you are saying about yourself. Whether we like it or not, many of the "things" that we own define us in the eyes of others no matter how accurate or inaccurate that might actually be. For those of us who are self-confident enough not to care, then we carry what we wish. For others, its going to be all about the brand.
Our advise at Scottsdale Pen and Knife is to be comfortable with your purchase no matter what the price or the brand. Do your own thing and enjoy - you can always move up or down as time and money allows. My EDC knives and pens (and watches) have changed over the years as new innovations have popped up or as new styles have caught my eye, or as my income has fluctuated.
We're always more than willing to share our thoughts with you if you have any questions or concerns.
