EDC Tools, Bottle Openers, Knuck Tools?
on: October 16, 2015, 01:39:37 PM
Hey guys!

I'm a new one here, don't even know where to put this thread to. I hope i chose correct section of the Forum. Don't be across if I didn't.

I've got Instagram account and follow lots of gear nuts from all over the world icluding US and Canada. And all of them have such animal-like EDC tools, bottle openers, whatever. Vox snailors, rapid weasels, hedgehogs, octopuses, armadillos and great lots of different similar tools.
We even have some russian ones - bears. It gets more and more popular.


I'm looking for more information about this stuff but can't find anything generalized about this phenomenon.  Only pics with tools of specific brand and tool.

I don't even know how to call it! Bottle opener? EDC Tool? Steel-Animal-Tool?

Maybe you can give me some links to some general info about that?
Or maybe you can tell me when did it start and what kind of tool was the first?
It looks great! But why it gets more and more popular?  Do u have something like that?

Thanks for all the answers and any help!

Hi mate,

Welcome to MTO.

I generally find those a bit gimmicky, but the one I find really cute is the SRM Elephant:

yeah! I know about this Elefants. But it's not that thing.

These animals are thicker and mostly are made of titanium. :)

It doesn't have many specifications, mostly they are made to open bottles. And to be some cute accessory, i think.

Welcome aboard!

 :cheers:

Those look great, in particular the bear.



It looks like it can be used with some hexa bits.
