Big Idea Design x Jeremy Siers: EDC gear with a story

Anyone into EDC knows good gear is about more than specifications alone. It needs to feel right in hand, handle some abuse and, ideally, have a character of its own. That’s exactly where the collaboration between Big Idea Design and Jeremy Siers comes together. For years, Big Idea Design has been making titanium pens and tools built for everyday use. No fragile parts or unnecessary frills, just gear that keeps doing what it’s supposed to do.

Who is Jeremy Siers?

Jeremy Siers is an outdoor enthusiast and YouTuber from Kentucky. His videos focus on honest use and real-world experience. He tests knives, tools and gear the way they’re meant to be used: outdoors, on the move and in everyday situations. No polished opinions, just clear explanations of what works and why. That straightforward approach makes him a natural partner for Big Idea Design. This collaboration doesn’t feel forced, but grown from a shared view on EDC.

Writing, driving and cutting with one idea

The collaboration resulted in three EDC items that clearly belong together. Each product has its own purpose, but they share the same foundation: reliable materials, thoughtful details and a finish that invites use.

The Fountain EDC Black & Gold Edition shows that a fountain pen can be both functional and a true everyday accessory. The titanium body with black DLC coating feels solid and reassuring. The gold pocket clip adds character without becoming flashy.

Then there’s the Bit Bar Inline in flat black. A compact tool, fully machined from titanium, with magnets that securely hold the bits and axle in place. The finish is clean and understated, perfectly matching the tool’s character. Three driver positions and magnetic storage make it versatile without unnecessary complexity. This is the kind of tool you carry because it’s practical, but also because it looks right.

JS “The Deano”: a fixed blade with personal meaning

The most personal part of this collaboration is the fixed blade knife, the JS “The Deano”. The name is a tribute to Jeremy’s uncle, a true Kentucky mountain man who gave him his first knife and took him on his first camping trips. You can feel that background immediately. This knife isn’t designed to stay pristine, but to be used.

The blade is made from Nitro-V steel and finished with a cerakote and tumbled finish. That lightly worn look is intentional. It feels like a knife that’s already seen some adventures, without you having to earn every scratch yourself. In terms of size, The Deano sits right between a compact EDC knife and a full outdoor knife. Big enough for a wide range of tasks, yet comfortable enough for everyday carry.

EDC gear that just makes sense

Together, these three items form an EDC set that feels coherent. No random special editions, but gear that brings writing, driving and cutting together with one clear idea. Everything is made to be used, not stored away.

Looking for EDC gear with its own character, reliable materials and a story that goes beyond the product itself? Then this collaboration between Big Idea Design and Jeremy Siers is well worth a closer look. Or explore the full collection from Big Idea Design
