A shared passion for pocketknives and other “everyday carry” tools — bordering on an obsession — recently led to a new storefront at 15 Glen Head Road. L.I. Tacti- cal & EDC, which opened in Glen Head on Wednesday, is a small, family-run business specializing in pocket-sized products. Co-owners Brett Newman and Michael Grimaldi, who met through work at a local car dealership, decided to pursue their mutual interest in everyday carry tools and start a business together. “I have this thing with flashlights that no one can explain,” Newman said, “but Mike gets it, and my father gets it, and there’s people out there that like it, too. We’re fortunate enough to have this place and get our hands on products that we’re interested in selling.” The shop carries high-powered flash- lights, multi-tools, pocketknives, back- packs, KeyBars, camping gear and self- defense tools that can be carried on a keychain. Newman described them as “accessories for the outdoors.” L.I.
