Some EDC blends in. The Black Raven loadout doesn't bother.
This week’s SPPLY. is black blades. Black titanium. A phone you've never seen in the wild. Gear that looks like it's been somewhere and isn't going to tell you about it.
You know the type 😤
Four picks. All edge, all character, none of them apologetic about it.
Plus the week's best EDC and tech deals.
Let's get into it 👇
PICKS OF THE WEEK.
🖤 THE BLACK RAVEN EDC
A phone built for people who find normal phones boring.
The MindOne Pro runs Android but the hardware is where things get interesting - machined metal body, a secondary display on the back, and the kind of build quality that makes you hold it differently to every other slab in your pocket. IKKO are better known for audiophile earbuds, which tells you something about the attention to detail here.
Is it for everyone? No. Is it for you? You're reading a newsletter called SPPLY. so probably yes.
The Baby Banter needs no introduction in this community - but the Thumb Stub variant is the one worth talking about.
Designed by Ben Petersen, the Thumb Stub opener gives you a clean, snag-free deployment that feels more deliberate than a flipper and more satisfying than a thumb stud. Black blade, black scales, the whole thing disappears into a pocket and reappears looking like it means business.
CIVIVI continue to make knives that have no right being this good at this price. The Baby Banter is Vault-level carry. Full stop.
An Apple AirTag holder that actually respects your gear.
The AirNotch Pro clips directly onto a bag strap, a keychain, or anything with a loop - no ugly case, no bulk, just a machined aluminium shell that keeps your tracker protected and invisible. Rolling Square continue to be one of the most quietly excellent EDC brands operating right now.
Slim enough to forget it's there. Useful enough that you'll notice immediately when it isn't.
A titanium keychain tool with a pattern etched into it that looks like it belongs on a museum wall.
Seigaiha is a traditional Japanese wave pattern. Chaos Seigaiha is what happens when Audacious Concept and Urban EDC get together and decide the pattern should look like it's been through something. Screwdriver bits, a pry bar, a bottle opener - all the utility you need, wrapped in one of the most visually distinct pieces of EDC released this year.
The kind of tool that makes you want to find things to fix just so you can pull it out.

DEALS OF THE WEEK.
OLIGHT Arkfeld Ultra 1400 Lumens - 20% Off 🔥
The flat flashlight that does three jobs at once. White LED for the obvious stuff, UV for the things you didn't know you needed to find, and green beam for the kind of work that doesn't want attention. 1400 lumens, USB-C rechargeable, fits flat in any pocket. The thinking man's tactical light.
$95.99 from $119.99
Kizer Varatas Pocket Knife - 30% Off 🔥🔥
Nitro V blade. G10 handle. Liner lock. The Varatas is a 3.24" folder built like Kizer have something to prove - and at this price they kind of do. Holds an edge, takes a beating, opens cleanly every time.
The trade-off: G10 isn't titanium and never will be. But for $48 it's not pretending to be.
$48.30 from $69.00
NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 7 Router - 29% Off 🔥🔥
The router that finally makes 'WiFi 7' worth saying out loud. BE3600 speeds, 2.5 Gig port, covers 2,000 sq ft and handles 50 devices without dropping a frame. The kind of upgrade you only notice three weeks later when you realise nothing's buffered in months.
$91.99 from $129.00
JUKMO Tactical Belt - 50% Off 🔥🔥🔥
1.5" nylon webbing. Heavy-duty quick-release buckle. The kind of belt that doesn't look tactical until you need it to be. No metal pin to wear out, no holes to stretch, just one snap and you're free. At half off it's the cheapest serious upgrade in the issue.
$14.98 from $29.98
👉 Strap up
HOTO Handheld Car Vacuum - 20% Off 🔥
A cordless 4-in-1 that vacuums, blows compressed air, and somehow fits in a glovebox. 20,000Pa suction is genuinely violent for something this small, and the compressed air mode is what finally gets the dust out of your keyboard. Cordless. USB-C. Quiet. A grown-up purchase.
$79.99 from $99.99
DYLIFE 24-in-1 Magnetic Screwdriver Set - 37% Off 🔥🔥
Twenty-four magnetic bits, a ratcheting handle, and a kit that fits in a back pocket. The kind of toolset you don't think about until something needs fixing - and then you're glad you've got it. Magnetic tips so the screws don't go missing into the rug forever.
$18.88 from $29.99
THIS WEEK IN GEAR.
EXCESSORIZE ME.
The EDC Tier List Nobody Asked For (But Everyone Needs)
In this video, I break down the ranking system I built to organize my entire everyday carry setup, introducing The Vault, a three-tier curation system for all things EDC.
Today we're looking at the Carry Rank, 5 items currently earning a daily spot in my pockets across five categories: fidget toys, pocket knives, flashlights, lighters, and clips. If you're into everyday carry, EDC gear, pocket dumps, or just building the best possible pocket loadout - this system was made for you. We are Pocket Hoarders - minimalists hate to see us coming.
Thanks for checking it out!
I rest my case,
