There is a distinct ritual that occurs when a gentleman walks through his front door after a long day. The satisfying clatter of emptying one’s pockets. Keys, pocket knife, flashlight, wallet, perhaps a challenge coin or a multi-tool—the detritus of the daily grind and the essential tools of the trade all need a place to land.
For too many of us, that landing zone is a chaotic ceramic bowl in the hallway or a scratched-up patch of bedside table where gear goes to gather dust and get lost. But if you have spent years curating a loadout of high-quality carry goods, dumping them into a disorganized pile feels like a disservice to the craftsmanship.
Triple Aught Design, a brand synonymous with tactical sophistication, agrees. Enter the Triple Aught Design NeoMag EDC Tray, a storage solution that is less of a container and more of an altar for your daily essentials.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill valet tray found in the aisle of a department store. This is a robust, over-engineered slab of organizational excellence designed for those who appreciate industrial precision.
Machined from a solid piece of 6160 aluminum, the tray possesses a heft and permanence that immediately sets it apart. It feels substantial, like a piece of equipment rather than a mere accessory. The 9”x11” footprint offers ample real estate to knoll out your items, transforming the act of unloading your pockets into a moment of satisfying order.
Visually, the tray strikes a balance between rugged utility and refined aesthetics. The body is finished in Cerakote, a ceramic-based finish known for its extreme durability and resistance to abrasion, matched beautifully with leather inserts.
These aren’t just any scraps of hide; they are laser-etched with Triple Aught Design’s signature topographic pattern, adding a layer of texture and visual depth while serving a crucial function: protecting your gear. When you set down a titanium frame-lock knife or a sapphire-crystal watch, the leather ensures a soft landing, preventing the heartbreaking scratches that come from metal-on-metal contact.
What truly elevates this tray above the competition is its dual purpose as a maintenance station. The deep side walls are milled specifically to keep screws, springs, and small parts in check. Whether you are swapping out a pocket clip, lubricating a pivot, or cleaning a firearm, the tray ensures that the tiny components don’t roll off into the abyss of the carpet.
On the left side of the frame, two milled slots are specifically designed to accommodate NeoMags, keeping your spare magazines accessible and magnetized in place. Furthermore, a hand-bent brass rod with an adjustable stop allows a handgun to be stored above the tray, effectively turning your storage solution into a display piece. The contrast of the brass against the Cerakote and the topo leather creates a look that is subtle yet undeniably striking.
At a price point of $250, this is certainly an investment in organization, but the pedigree backs up the cost. NeoMag, based in Ohio, has quickly gained a reputation within the EDC community for manufacturing products to incredibly high tolerances. Everything they touch is built to last, evidenced by the lifetime guarantee that accompanies their products.
When you combine that manufacturing prowess with the legendary design language of Triple Aught Design, the result is a piece of gear that is as functional as it is beautiful. It is a workspace, a display case, and a daily valet all rolled into one indestructible package, ensuring your tools are always ready for whatever tomorrow brings.
