From collector to creator: John Rusk and EMPEDC aim to put the most robust and appealing Everyday Carry (EDC) gear in Every Man's Pocket (EMP), hence EMP EDC. Less than two years ago EMP EDC was formed around John's passion for EDC gear, with the help of other successful makers and partners the dream became a reality.

EMP EDC's first knife, the Nymble, has come out in multiple versions, employing a variety of materials and blade shapes, and is the company's flagship model. Ergonomics, cutting utility, fidget factor and attention to aesthetics are all crucial, so, each EMPEDC design is prototyped with multiple shops and run through a broad range of tests.

The Thick Boy V2 Wharncleaver folder is available on the website in a number of dress options, from the ruggedly handsome to the exotically beautiful. EMP EDC also offers replacement handle scales for the Thick Boy V2 as well as Mokuti kits for the Nymble T and a Robot themed Knucklehead "Keychain" knuck made of Titanium.
