From a product design perspective, the EDC market is fascinating. Here you have people lavishing design attention on objects that would be, for me as a non-EDC person, worthless in real life; yet some of these objects are positively MoMA-worthy.<\/p>\n

Take this IMP Folding Knife<\/a>, done in collaboration between Finnish EDC brand Audacious Concept<\/a> and U.S. brand D Rocket Design<\/a>. Each line, curve and facet reveal a true mastery of form.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From a UX perspective, there’s a glow-in-the-dark dot, and the pocket clip is removable, replaceable with a filler tab.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It also comes in (of course) a version with carbon fiber<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As for how it opens and closes:<\/p>\n

The knives run about $230!<\/p>\n
