I think Piranhas are better than Cryptos, having owned both. The prybar on the Crypto is top notch, but the Piranha has much more useable room for your hand to torque it with, plus more wrenches. And I love the scraper edge on it. That's handy.
Cryptos are just awkward in the hand, IMO. It's pretty much just a crooked Prybaby with the side opened and a hex hole put in. Although they are fun as hell to fiddle with.
Even Peter said the Crypto was fun too fiddle with. Though the only way I can imagine that is if you pretend it's a broken dinosaur.

(About Q's package) Willydigger:
"Is it mailed? Did you mail it? Where's the tracking? I'm pretty excited. I hope he cries. Think he'll cry? What a bitch."
"Q is an asshole, but he's so dumb I feel like hugging him all the time."

"I'm waiting for Digiorno to cook. Three meat, stuffed crust. It's not delivery, but no place delivers here. So. "
OK, this thread has been dead for awhile. Here's my idea: this is going to be a big week for me as I am expecting some round-this-shit-out items. So, since they will come throughout the week, I will update as my EDC gets closer to what I have in mind: A small, portable, collection of stuff I can easily have on me to meet my normal expected needs, with a slight amount of rad-factor, and all matching a general color scheme (black, metallic, and grey).
Here's the basic EDC:
Watch is always this Skagen. I am not a watch nut; I want something I can ignore that is easy to read. The Skagen is super thin and light (it's titanium). Easy. Plus, it was an anniversary gift after year one.
Wallet: cheap, nylon, black, thin. I don't give a flying fuck about a fancy wallet. I carry it in the front pocket because otherwise I destroy credit cards with my ass.
Keys: I have had a big keychain with all sorts of shit on it. Man-jewlery is fine, but it's a bitch to carry. So this is what I am down to -- Keys, NME Ti bottle opener, Quantum DD, cord for easy-grab (and yeah: I love my Koa villain, but it might get put in a drawer since it's the only item not matching the color scheme).
Knife: I had a big collection of Spydies. It was fun to cycle through, but I just ended up carrying the two I liked most, so why have extra? These two are my ideal knives, so this is what I have. The SNG is great: it's fun, it's light and easy to carry for its thickness, and I just like the look of it. A bit big for some situations, so I don't ALWAYS carry it. The Sebbie, ah, the Sebbie. It's my THIRD small sebbie. I went through two Insingos, one with a CF scale. It was nice, but too pretty. This is perfect for anywhere, and it's an all-silver-hardware one, so it works with the color scheme.
Maxmadco: Best Pen Ever. Not on me every day at home, but when work starts up, it is ALWAYS in my breast pocket.
HDS Rotary: OK, no pocket clip. If I was gonna be a pocket-carrier only, this would be a deal-breaker, and I'd stick with an HDS clicky. but, since I have a Skinth incoming, it's worth it. This is honestly the best light made IMO. Does anything you need it to and does it easy. It's toatally programmable and smarter than my computer, but I could hand it to anyone and that person could use it in any situation thanks to the rotary option.
Since you did a explanation of your stuff I figured I would do the same in my thread.

You should get a ruby red Villain. Like the little girl in the red coat in Schindler's List.

Gus, please explain to my simple mind why in the fuck you would buy that ugly ass Atwood? Are you going to seriously tell me you are going to use that thing? In public? It reminds me of the humpback in 300. It should have been killed at birth.

Atwoods are funny. So much irrational hatred, so much irrational fanboyism, all wrapped up into one tiny little piece of metal.
Yeah. They have become an odd measuring stick for EDCers. If you don't have one, you are not a "TRUE" EDCer. If you ONLY have one, you are not REALLY into Atwoods. Unless of course you HATE them; then you are Old School. Or some shit. It's sillier than people who argue about what kind of Metal is real Metal.

Ugly is ugly and that Atwood is ugly. I like my gear shexy.

I honestly think it's neat. Oh, and as for the Ruby Red Villain: naw. Only trying to stick to black, bare metal, and grey. Now, an all-black stealth Villain...

I do have all black. It's called Coal Mine. It's as black as your heart. You're jaded, ugly Atwood loving, achy breaky.
