Meet the brand redefining everyday carry.
Let’s be real: most everyday carry feels like it hasn’t changed in decades. And when OTR looked around, they realized EDC often swings between two extremes — overbuilt and overpriced, or cheap and forgettable. So, they built something better. Gear that gets the job done, looks good doing it, and doesn’t wreck your budget.
Born in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood—a historic district built on grit, utility, and timelessness—OTR designs tools for people who care about what they carry and how it fits into their daily rhythm.
They’re rethinking the everyday with tools that blend precision, minimalism, and modern utility. And while that might sound like a pile of buzzwords—the second you hold one of their tools, you get it.
Here’s what they make:
They started with knives, because every solid carry starts there.
OTR’s full-size and mini pocket knife options are sharp, balanced, and designed to sit discreetly in your pocket. Recessed texturing keeps the grip confident, while a reversible clip keeps your carry style versatile and within reach. Add custom laser-engraving—initials, coordinates, or anything that gets you through the day—and it becomes more than just a tool. It becomes yours.
Pocket tools came next — built for everyday problem-solving.
The Compact Multitool Keychain is one of those tools you don’t know you need until it’s always in use. A flathead screwdriver doubles as a scoring tip for quick fixes—tightening a loose screw on your barstool, adjusting your bike seat, whatever the day throws at you. Bonus: the built-in bottle opener is always ready when the clock hits five. Sleek, stainless, and low-profile—it blends in until it’s time to step up.
Then there’s the Mini Pry Bar. Minimalist, polished, and built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it lives quietly on your keychain but handles real tasks without fuss—prying, scraping, tweaking, tightening. The kind of tool that just works—and one you’ll wonder how you got by without.
Together, these tools form the backbone of an urban carry—no bulk, no jingling, just clean design and solid function.
And your tools need a place to live.
That’s where OTR’s Carabiners, Keychains & Clips come in. Every detail is designed with carry in mind. Their dual-compartment carabiners separate your keys from your tools, so you’re never fumbling or dropping gear when unclipping. Prefer simple? Their single-compartment designs are just as solid.
The belt hook is the underrated MVP. One smooth motion to slide on, and it stays put. Clean, low-profile, and always ready.
And yes—you’ll spot the Stash Pod. People laugh… until they need it. Watertight, tiny, and made for the little lifesavers: Advil, Tums, cash, toothpicks. Whatever gets you through the day.
Different shapes, finishes, and functions — all made to keep your kit dialed without the bulk.
And OTR didn’t stop there.
Your dog’s getting an upgrade, too. Because let’s be real—urban living with a dog comes with its own set of challenges. OTR’s pet gear is designed to handle them with ease and style.
Leashes, collars, and custom ID tags come with the same attention to design and durability: magnetic buckles for easy-on, easy-off; integrated ID loops that reduce jingling; ballistic nylon that holds up without the bulk; and rope leash materials trusted by climbers—finished with secure swivel carabiners and reflective details for night walks.
It’s gear made to move with you—whether your sidekick’s tagging along downtown, at the trailhead, or just across the block.
Bottom line?
OTR designs gear that looks good, feels good, and holds up. Whether it’s clipped to your backpack, stashed in your pocket, or hooked onto your belt—it’s made to go with you and help you out along the way.
They believe everyday carry shouldn’t break the bank. It should feel intentional, personal, and built for real life.
If you’ve been waiting to level up your kit—this is your sign.
