This collaboration began with a simple idea: EDC is about more than function, it’s about purpose. Read more in our "Behind the AC x Kingsford KwaiKing Ikigai"

Inspired by Ikigai, the Japanese philosophy of finding joy and meaning in everyday life, our AC Exclusive KwaiKing draws inspiration from Okinawa, one of the world’s recognised Blue Zones where longevity and content living are closely tied to a strong sense of purpose.

When Tim from Kingsford Knives approached us with collaborating on his KwaiKing production knife, we had to go with a royal blue anodising as a direct nod to the Okinawan Blue Zone, paired with gold stonewashed hardware to reflect balance, longevity, and appreciation earned over time. Each production KwaiKing knife is individually anodised by Tim, making every piece subtly unique.

Limited to just 15 pieces, each KwaiKing Ikigai is serialised inside the backspacer and includes an exclusive Kingsford x Adventure Carry collector coin. This is a knife made for collectors who value intention, craftsmanship, and the deeper story behind their carry.

Carry with intention. Live with Ikigai.
