2026 EDC Photo Challenge

29roadie · 2025-12-31T23:21:40+00:00

Let's start 2026 off right. **The Task:** Take a photo of your Victorinox EDC choice for the day, every day for one month and share it here, everyday. There is no competition for best photo. The challenge is only to share a photo of your Victorinox EDC every day for a month. That's 31 days, 31 different photos. Same knife or different knife, it doesn't matter. **The Rules:** 1\. Post an authentic photo of your Victorinox EDC at some point through your day. It could be sitting on your desk at work, in your car, on a park bench during your lunch break, laying in bed if you're sick. This doesn't need to be fancy. Believe me at around week two you'll be really sick of this. This doesn't need to be a different knife everyday. It's just your EDC knife of choice that day. 2\. If you miss a day that's ok you can catch up. You will be given three days grace but you have to catch up with a different photo for each day you missed. This also means instead of starting on January 1st community members can start as late as January 4th but they still have to post a different photo for each day. All of those different missed day photos can be in one post if you're catching up. No new entries after January 4th. You'll just have to wait till next time. 3\. You must be a Victorinox Community member. 4\. Post a photo every day to this thread only. You are also required to post the day number along with the photo. For example: "**Day 1**", "**Day 2**", etc. This is just so it's easy for me to keep track. So they can be counted for each person easily. 5\. The winner will be randomly drawn from all of the members who complete this challenge. The draw date will be on February 4th because technically there might be some stragglers posting with the three days grace allowance I mentioned. **The Prize:** If you successfully complete the challenge you will have the chance to win a new knife. All community member who complete this will have one entry. The winner will be randomly selected. Once again the quality of the photos doesn't mean anything officially as long as it's of your EDC that you're actually using/carrying on that day. With the number of people who contacted me interested in finding a Serrated Spartan I decided to make one of those the prize. So you will get a brand new knife I purchased from a dealer in the original packaging. **Shipping:** I will personally pay for standard postal shipping to any members country of residence around the world. I will list it as a gift on any paperwork or declaration that I may need to fill out on this end. I don't know any of the individual import costs or if there even would be any. Those costs will be up to the winner to cover on their end. If you're in the U.S.A. you will have to pay any import duty/tariff yourself. That's what we all have to do in other countries too. Sorry. If the winner decides not to they can just abandon it I suppose. At that point it hasn't cost them anything. I believe this's a model that's not restricted anywhere but that will be up to you to confirm. Once I send it off I'm out of the picture. I'm several hours behind in time from most members time zone. It's just after 15:00 here on Dec 31st. Have a great New Year's eve and be safe. We will hopefully see you with your first post in this thread tomorrow. Have fun! Cheers, I really hope to see some of those 2025 Community Knives being used.

bornchan Danke. Für einen Techniknerd wie mich genau das richtige. Hab es schon über 5 Jahre und möchte erstmal nix anderes.

Day 4

Quick repairs at a rental I have. This is a bladeless/tool only custom knife I made last summer. I call it a Millwright.

MichaelRothenpieler

29roadie interessante Toolzusammenstellung. Optimales Bastelmesser, obwohl mir die Klinge fehlen würde

Aber der Rest ist gut durchdacht!

Ist das Gegentool des Schraubendrehers der Maulschlüssel?

29roadie

MichaelRothenpieler I'm carrying it with the OneFold today. I've been doing that a lot lately to see how I like it. Carrying a bladeless knife along with a blade only knife. If I do go into somewhere that blades aren't allowed I just leave the OneFold in the truck but I still have the tools I need.

Yes the screwdriver is paired with the Universal Wrench.

MichaelSteck dann guten Start in den Tag 🌸

Ok well day 4 has come to a close so there won't be any new entries allowed. Unless you live in Hawaii that is. I know this's possibly going to mean someone is missing out. That's always unfortunate but you can always hope there's a next time.
I am really please with the community participation for this. I'm also enjoying all the photos. All totally different and real world use.

Here's a list of the 20 participants in no particular order. Forgive any spelling errors.
Only one is ineligible for the prize.

Lieben Dank und ebenso!

SchiefBe

29roadie Tolle Kombination. Super gemacht gefällt mir echt gut.🤗 Ich würde dann ein Alpineer mit nehmen.

Tag 5

Heute Batterie Härtetest (2 Stunden draußen)

Test bestanden alles funktioniert 👍

29roadie

SchiefBe Yikes! That's about 10 deg colder than we've had here. Good test!

29roadie

SchiefBe Yes that's a good combination. The last two day's along with my Companion Slim Plus I've been using the RangerGrip 63. That's the one that similar to the Alpineer. No opening layer just a one hand opening blade and a corkscrew. I really like that knife.

Tag 4 (repost)

Weil mein original post als gelöscht steht

Wieder Schnee und etwas anderes zum EDC was mir normalerweise zu groß ist, das weil ich gerne das gezahntes Messer in ein Alox setzen möchte und wissen möchte ob er gefällt. In der 58er dazu für die Schere.

MichaelRothenpieler

moorlandbushcraft ne, der ist oben…

29roadie

moorlandbushcraft Must have been a glitch in the matrix. I don't think anything had been deleted.
I'm always a fan of the serrated bladed knives.

Tag 5

Heute ein kleines persönliche Challenge in dieser Challenge, ein Messer die ich nicht gerne trage weil der schere nicht schön zu öffnen ist. Wen die Funktionen mir gefallen möchte ich vielleicht doch das Messer verbessern.

29roadie

moorlandbushcraft Yes it's a good opportunity to consciously change up the EDC. I did that on day 4 too.

29roadie

MichaelRothenpieler Thanks Michael!

moorlandbushcraft

29roadie Das ist schön, dan bin ich noch up-to-date.
Gezackter Klinge haben ein Platz, ich bin am meistens neugiering für Seile und so weil ich das beim Pfadfinderei regelmesig brauche.
