Over the years, my EDC has changed considerably, but the one constant is my ITP A3 Stainless Steel on my keyring.
I've had the light since its release, which I think was 2009. I can't imagine not having it.
-
Mine is a Utilikey, and I've had it on my keys since well before I considered using online forums. It hardly ever gets used these days, as I usually have something else on me, but every now and again, I'll leave the house unarmed with my usual tool array, and the Utilikey will get me out of a fix once again.

gotta be the Vic Farmer
-
If it counts as EDC gear, it would be my wedding band from 4-21-2007.
Otherwise it's my black victorinox pioneer from September or October of 2012.
-
Probably a SAK Classic of some variety. If a specific item, my wedding band, 10.5 years running.
-
A mobile phone, I've owned and carried one since I was 17, when they got down to a size reasonable enough to carry and affordable to joe public, though the battery was still at least 90% of the phones mass.
-
A Craftsman 4-way pocket screwdriver. I've been carrying it since the early 80's.
-
I have a leather belt that has about 20 years on the odometer. If that doesn't count then my Manager has about 4-5 years on the odometer. I have also been using the Victorinox belt clip for a good while now too.
-
Vic Champion from late 70's and Tekna Splash-Lite from mid 80's. In 2004 I filled the Tekna's worn threads with epoxy and retapped them. Still going strong.

I still regularly carry my Skeletool CS. I got it when it first came out in 2008.

Most of my gear is newer though.

I carried a Vic Huntsman for about 30 years - until it was stolen by some removal men >:( :cry:
I know it was not lost - As it disappeared at the unpacking stage in my new flat in Sydney.
I was using it to cut open boxes - When I looked for it after the removal men had gone - It was gone
Very sad to loose that after all these years.
And as someone who is now into SAK evolution and collecting - It's an even bigger loss .... waaaah
I would have loved to check out its tool versions now I understand all those evolutionary changes
-
I carried a small Tinker from 1974 til about 2002-2003 or so til the main blade developed alot of play so it was unsafe to carry! Next would be either my Explorer or my Olight which I have had both for probably 4 or 5 years now or so!
-
Schrade USA 34OT. Granddad gave it to me when I was 10, and I keep saying I've retired it, but it always gets put back in after a couple months of storage.
-
I've carried a 4" crescent wrench in my pocket since the late 70s and added a SAK Pocket Pal in the mid 90s. Still the first 2 things I pick up every morning. :tu:
-
I bought my wallet around 1992 and my watch around 1999 and I made the watch band out of a dog collar shortly after when I couldn't find a replacement band that I liked and that fit me. I've got several knives that are older although they are not EDC but only carried on rare occasions when I'm feeling nostalgic.
-
MagLite mini mag (2xAA) and SwissChamp. Had both of them since 1985. I do have a little can/bottle opener that I've had (and still carry) since I was a kid, but that is going back into the early 70's.
-
I've had a Micra of some colour or another (like 4 stainless, 2 grey, 2 red, and now 1 pink) in my pocket for more than 15 years. Every knife or MT I've carried in that time was forced to pair with one and I don't know what I'd do without one. Here's to hoping I never have to find out.
-
As an actual day to day? Probably my Zebra Mini Expandz pen,been carrying it without break since 2011 at least...
-
Black sak classic been on my keys since forever
-
This has been in my work pants for a few years :tu:
-
My longest serving EDC item has to be my Casio G-Shock DW-6900.
I've got this back in '97 as a gift from my wife (my girlfriend at that time), and I still wear it to work every day. It has seen all the jobs I ever had (about 4 long term jobs) and is still going strong after 21 years of (at some jobs) extreme use :tu:. I stopped carrying it in my free time when I started my previous job back in 2001, which was in a factory where they build buses and touring cars, and it was quite dirty work.

-
Probably this ballpoint pen. I had it since I was 3 years old. Though I don't EDC it anymore... :D
-
My '92 SwissChamp, carried steadily for years, had a few years off, but still in the EDC rotation! :salute:
-
Wedding ring since May 1975.
Round (coin) flat 4 bit screw driver, since 1984.
Vic Vagabond/Manager with orange peeler and 3-D Phillips since 1998 or 99.(lost original in 2014, but son found replacement at Christmas 2014).
MTs very to tasks scheduled as do my folders.
-
Victorinox Super Tinker since 1988
30 years. I did break the scales and dent the layers about 6 years ago and a friend gave me a Tinker Deluxe to replace it, but about a year and a half ago I repaired it best I could, and still carry it.
-
A Wenger Commander I got from dad in 1991 while on holiday in Switzerland.
Cleaned it en sharpened it a couple of weeks ago and it's still going strong…
