Every outdoorsman needs a trusty blade – whether that means a simple pocketknife just to begin or a full-fledged outdoor axe that can fell trees (with a bit of work).
Minimal Form, Maximum Utility. That’s how the James Brand bills the Elko knife. And from what we can tell, this knife doesn’t disappoint in that regard.
How does your EDC gear compare to this? We are always impressed with Columbia River's designs. The Columbia River Knife and Tool 5311 CRKT Pilar is no exception. The Pilar™ is a super compact everyday carry folder with distinctive minimalist design and an epic tale behind its name. It’s low profile is understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use. Where minimal design meets maximum utility.
Who said EDC can't be classy? While most pocket knives and EDC tools are made with utility and function in mind, and not so much matching with your best work clothes, the Gerber Pocket Square Knife seeks to do just that.
Looking for something simple, small and classy? Slipjoints are classic knives, and Benchmade - long a trustworthy name in knife-making - has made nice, reliable slipjoint in their 319 Proper, billing it as a "modern take on a classic gentleman's knife". It has the look of a classic, old-fashioned jackknife, but with the materials and durability of modern EDC must-haves.
Do you think it is impossible to put 11 tools in your pocket at once? You can with the SOG Sync I Knife and Multi-tool. SOG has taken multi-tools to a new level. The Sync 1 can fit easily into your pocket, or you can clip it on your belt using the detachable base. You can always get creative and clip it on a boot strap or other hidden area. While the tool can be conveniently detached from the base with one hand, it stays locked and secure to it under active movement when not needed.
Omega didn't disappoint with their 2017 Basel World releases; specifically the Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer. We are suckers for the original Speedmaster series from Omega. It's hard to beat in it's understated class. The new Racing Master Chonometer steps it up a notch with the orange accents paying homage to it's motor racing heritage. Arrowhead indexes filled with Super-Luminova and the expanded subdials set off this beautiful update of the original 1968 Speedmaster design.
