EDC wallets aren’t just functional; they also make a bold statement about personal style and values. Choosing a wallet that matches your personality conveys confidence and individuality. EDC wallets effectively combine utility with aesthetic appeal, enabling us to leave a lasting impression.
Three EDC Wallets to Match Your Lifestyle
Armatus EDC Wallet
The Armatus EDC Wallet is a compact and strong option made from Kydex. As a minimalist wallet, it offers just enough space for eight credit cards and some cash—nothing more, nothing less. Each wallet is handcrafted in the United States using the finest materials.
The Armatus wallet features a Mil-Spec Pull The Dot strap, ensuring your cards and valuables stay secure. This robust strap has a special press stud that can only be loosened from one side, preventing unexpected openings. You can easily close it with a simple press. The Mil-Spec Pull The Dot strap meets military specifications for durability.
The kydex material of the Armatus EDC Wallet is not only strong but also easy to clean—simply rinse it under a tap. With its well-thought-out and sturdy design, this wallet is ready to accompany you every day.
The wallet measures 4.2 inches in length, 2.7 inches in width, and has a thickness of 0.45 inches. It weighs just 1.6 ounces when unloaded and comfortably holds up to eight credit cards. It also boasts a waterproof feature, enhancing its practicality in various conditions.
MSRP: $25-$30
The Longest of EDC Wallets
That’s correct, I’ve had this longer than any of the other combined EDC Wallets featured here. The rigid design keeps my important debit, laundry, and ID cards from bending. I can either fold cash and stuff it into the main compartment or keep it on the outside with a Victorinox Bantam via a Ranger Band. I’m a fan of experimenting and whatever works.
OCASO EDC Wallet
Known for their Gentlemen’s Folding Knives, OCASO also has an elegant EDC wallet, meticulously designed to hold your everyday essentials. It accommodates 3 to 6 credit cards, cash, and your favorite small pocket knife and pen.
Crafted from full-grain leather, the wallet features a practical wrap-around pocket that secures your knife and pen in the front while providing extra card storage in the back. The notched top pocket allows for easy card access, and its compact design fits comfortably in your front pocket.
Included is a lightweight, removable stainless steel money clip with a diamond pattern, securely holding over 10 folded bills. This wallet pairs perfectly with compact knives like the Mini Seaton and pens such as the Titanium Mini Pen, making it an ideal choice for your daily carry.
The wallet features a knife slot that securely holds most small folding knives and pens measuring up to 3.5″ long and 0.82″ wide. This includes popular models like the Mini Seaton, Gerber Paraframe Mini, Victorinox Cadet, Kershaw Gadsden, Buck 503 Prince, and Leatherman Skeletool KBx, as well as small pens such as the Big Idea Design Titanium Mini Pen and the Benchmade Shorthand Tactical Pen.
MSRP: $64.99
Bells and Whistles Wallet
The OCASO may be the most involved of the three EDC Wallets I have. I’m still experimenting with this wallet. I added a Fisher Space Pen Bullet Pen and a mini-Seaton knife from OCASO. However, a Victorinox Bantam and Waiter model fit perfectly. I can see nail clippers or a small, flat sharpener fitting in one of the two pockets. The back has a clip that serves as a money clip, which I can remove for independent use. The main slot can fit cards or cash, whichever you prefer.
BCO No.2 Minimalist Wallet
Minimalism in everyday carry (EDC) emphasizes efficiency. The Badger Claw Outfitters No.2 Wallet features a slim profile that reduces bulk and keeps essentials organized. Made from durable Horween leather, it promotes intentional living by prioritizing function over flash.
The No.2 Minimalist Wallet from Badger Claw Outfitters strips everyday carry to the essentials—eliminating bulk and fuss for pure function. Made in the USA from premium Horween leather, this slim 7-oz wallet accommodates 6–8 cards in the back pocket, with space for cash or extras up front. It seamlessly integrates into your pocket, only making its presence known when needed.
Perfect for those looking to simplify their carry, this wallet proves that less truly is more. Plus, it comes with a lifetime guarantee, designed to age alongside you.
MSRP: $29.95.
New Travel EDC Wallet
This wallet is so new to me, as I write this, it’s been my airport and travel wallet to parts of Asia. I like how slim it is and the individual patina I can already see forming. I stick to cards, and stuff a toothpick in the outside for quick, easy access. The leather is classy all the way, as is everything John at BCO makes.
I’m looking forward to more trips with these simple EDC Wallets. What would you pick?
