Gerber Assert – Brooklyn Bell

Things have been quiet at Gerber on the everyday carry knife front lately. They’ve focused on releasing new camp cookware, but with the new Assert folding knife, Gerber’s keen to reenter the scene.

CRKT Nucleus Frame Lock Knife

CPM MagnaCut is one of the most sought-after steels for EDC enthusiasts who demand the best out of their pocket knives, and CRKT incorporates it beautifully in their Nucleus Frame Lock Knife. Designed by custom knifemaker Princeton Wong, the Nucleus is inspired by the mecha robots from the Mobile Suit Gundam series, which is reflected in the knife’s futuristic design. The Nucleus weighs only 2.30 oz thanks partly to its titanium and carbon fiber handle, making it both strong and lightweight.

Besides its eye-catching aesthetics; the Nucleus is built for serious performance. Its frame lock utilizes a thick lock bar to ensure that the blade remains secure during rigorous use.

WE Knife Zizzit

Modern high-end knife designs all tend to feature premium durable steels hardened for excellent cutting potential and maximum sharpness. Their blade shapes are both an aesthetic and functional choice because they are one of the primary determinants of the overall ergonomic ease of use for the pocket knife. But designs that take the time to feature a compound edge on the blade itself are relatively rare. The new WE Knife ZIzzit flipper knife adds to this select few, with a special CPM-20CV blade that’s been optimized for your everyday carry needs.

Where most blades feature one style of blade grind, the We Knife Zizzit features a compound edge, with a hollow-ground belly and a flat ground tip for the blade. The combination drop point and spear point edge blade is a result of this design choice, which gives the belly increased slicing capability while enhancing the piercing performance and rigidity of the tip of the knife. The flat grind of the tip also makes it easier to touch up and repair independently in case of damage during regular use. With a 3.8” overall length, sturdy button lock, and titanium hardware, you’re going to find a lot of use for the We Knife Zizzit when you add it to your everyday carry loadout.

G-SHOCK GMWB5000SS-2 50th Anniversary Release

The watch industry changed forever in 1974 when Casio released its first-ever wristwatch, the Casiotron. As the world’s first digital watch with an automatic calendar function, the Casiotron represented a ground-breaking shift in the industry, introducing digital technology into the realm of personal timekeeping. 50 years later, Casio celebrates its roots by releasing a set of models that pay homage to several Casio icons, one of them being the G-SHOCK GMWB5000SS-2. Inspired by the iconic GMWB5000 (which was in turn inspired by the very first G-SHOCK), the G-SHOCK GMWB5000SS-2 retains the original G-SHOCK form but elevates it with a full-metal exterior. Design elements such as the blue IP finish applied to the bezel top and gold vapor deposition on the dial’s perimeter pay homage to the original Casiotron while symbolizing the vastness of the sky and sea. Gold IP accents on the side buttons and the fluted pattern on the dial’s perimeter are also great details to notice.

The GMWB5000SS-2 boasts a robust suite of features that make it every bit a modern G-SHOCK. It connects to the CASIO WATCHES smartphone app for functions such as automatic time adjustment, reminders, and a phone finder, while maintaining all the usual G-SHOCK functions, easily viewed even with low light thanks to its Super Illuminator backlight. The watch is encased in special eco-packaging made from recycled materials and includes a cotton pouch for accessory storage, underlining Casio’s commitment to sustainability. It harnesses solar power to operate its functionalities, including Bluetooth connectivity and radio-controlled timekeeping (Multiband 6), ensuring precision and reliability. The DLC-coated screw-lock case back, engraved with the 50th-anniversary logo, coupled with its metal band featuring a bicolor finish and a “50th Anniversary” engraving, make this timepiece a true testament to the G-SHOCK’s longevity and iconic position in the industry.

Some of the coolest and classiest gents folding knives have come out of Tactile Knife Company as they’ve expanded past making some of the best everyday carry pens you can buy today.

The Osprey is Tactile’s first dedicated fixed-blade outdoor knife, with an incredibly beefy full-tang construction featuring MagnaCut steel hardened to 63-64 Rockwell for the ultimate in modern cutting potential and edge retention.

The design language of the Osprey melds the shape of a rugged outdoor survival knife with the clean and minimalist gents’ aesthetic of Tactile Knife Company’s products. The 3.7” cutting blade features a clip-point shape with a well-defined tip for piercing and a slightly recurved belly that enhances its slicing ability. Last but not least, the small but pronounced patch of top jimping works in concert with the carefully shaped and chamfered ergonomic grip in the Richlite Micarta scales to provide substantial control over cuts big and small. The Osprey is the beefiest knife in Tactile’s stable yet, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

Vosteed Hedgehog Aluminum

We’re big fans of Vosteed’s RSKAOS Titanium Knife and the recently released Vosteed Hedgehog is a smaller, lighter, and more affordable iteration of the premium folder. Needless to say, we love it already. Sporting a 2.99″ S35VN blade, the Vosteed Hedgehog promises exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Its modified sheepsfoot blade shape with a lightly curved belly makes it perfect for slicing and cutting tasks. With an overall length of 7.11″, a handle length of 4.12″, and a weight of just 4.42 oz, it’s compact enough to leave plenty of room for other essentials in your pocket when closed.

If you’re looking for a knife to take with you on your outdoor excursions this summer, make sure to take the newly updated Kizer Harpoon Mini. Made in collaboration with Maverick Customs in Kentucky, this smaller 3” version of their original Harpoon fixed-blade knife upgrades the blade steel to premium CPM 3V that can withstand outdoors, camping, and survival utility tasks like cutting through wood and tough material. The namesake harpoon-style blade shape has a well-defined point for piercing tasks, and a large curved belly for slicing, making this a good knife for skinning and meal prep in the wilderness.

We especially like the flat ground edge of the blade and the lack of a bolster at the heel, making the Kizer Harpoon Mini exceptionally easy to resharpen and maintain on a whetstone.

Vosteed Acorn

We are spoiled for choice when picking an everyday carry knife, but if you’re on a budget, you no longer have to make substantial compromises in the process. Knives like the Vosteed Acorn are designed to provide excellent materials, build quality, and thoughtful design at an accessible price. Take the front flipper opening on the blade, which can be easily overlooked if you focus only on the ambidextrous eye hole openings cut into it. That’s a design element that was once only found on high-end minimalist knives years ago, and its inclusion on the Acorn gives you extra options for using the knife in your daily tasks.

And while 14C28N can’t be described as a “super” steel, it’s a quality blade-making material that provides the kind of sharpness, durability, and edge retention you’ll need for a daily driver knife. The more down-to-earth canvas micarta handles may not exude the opulence of inlaid blades, but at the end of the day, you get a quality knife that you won’t be too afraid of getting scuffed up in actual use.

This knife takes inspiration from CRKT’s classic karambit folding knives, known for their distinctive finger ring for enhanced grip and the futuristic Kinematic technology—a unique innovation that allows you to deploy the blade with the push of your thumb, eliminating the need for a traditional thumb stud or flipper.

Similar to its brothers, the CRKT Provoke Grivory sports a compact design, with an overall length of 7.19” when open and 4.96” when folded, ensuring convenient carry. It boasts a high carbon 2.47” claw-shaped stainless steel blade with a black stonewashed finish that offers excellent edge retention and scratch resistance. This new model’s handle is injection-molded from Grivory—a lightweight yet incredibly strong thermoplastic that guarantees durability. It also comes in 4 color options—Blue, Orange, Zap, and Red—all easy to spot in any condition, and features a low-profile, spring-loaded pocket clip that rests against the finger ring for a secure and discreet carry. The Provoke Grivory one-ups most iterations of the karambit, reminding us why we love CRKT, and if you like unique pieces, the Provoke Grivory is for you.

Leatherman’s Skeletool CX and KB Get a Colorful Upgrade

The Skeletool CX has long been a favorite recommendation of ours for those looking for a pliers-based multi-tool but want to save a bit more space and bulk from Leatherman’s more feature-packed offerings. Even with full-sized pliers, a proven 154CM blade, and a bit driver to cover all your bases, it still weighs a comfortable 5 oz thanks to its namesake skeletonized frame, which you can conveniently hang off of your gear with its built-in carabiner.

If you want to save on space even more or want to pack light for the day with just an EDC knife, the Skeletool KB is a chip off the old block, and is the knife arm of the CX as an independent tool, with a locking 420HC blade and a bottle opener built into its clip.

Both tools are great for EDC and it’s the perfect time to add either to yours with the release of new colorways. The CX is now available in four new colors: Onyx, Nightshade, Verdant, and Paradise, and the KB knife is available in Nightshade, Verdant, and Paradise.

Victorinox’s New Dive Pro Exemplifies Underwater Precision Under Pressure

While primarily known for the iconic Swiss Army Knife, Victorinox has garnered the respect of watch enthusiasts around the world for their tough, no-frills tool watches. Manufactured and rigorously tested at Victorinox’s facility in Delémont, Switzerland, the Dive Pro Automatic is one of their newest releases this year, boasting an impressive array of features that will impress even the most diehard dive watch fans.

Vosteed Unveils the Heavy-Duty Hedgehog Knife

Compact folding knives are best for everyday carry because of their convenient size, but if you’re planning on taking on heavy-duty tasks with your daily driver you might want to carry something built stronger than the rest. That’s where sturdy knives with beefy spines like the new Hedgehog from the makers over at Vosteed come in handy. To get the most durability out of the 2.99” S35VN stainless steel blade on the Hedgehog, Vosteed fashioned it into a modified sheepsfoot utility shape with a markedly substantial spine that gives the knife more inherent strength when you’re chopping and cutting through rough material. Combined with the secure liner lock on the blade, you have a reliable folding knife that’s well-suited for heavy-duty everyday carry tasks.

That liner lock is also a unique aspect of the Vosteed Hedgehog folding knife. Unlike a traditional liner lock that required you to twist the blade and manipulate the steel liner, Vosteed integrated a tab built directly into the steel liner that protrudes through a small slit in the grippy blue GT-Mascus handle scales. This lets you operate the lock with a single hand, as if it was a button-style lock knife. That’s the kind of quality of life improvement that you might think is small, but you’ll come to really appreciate it once you get to work with the Vosteed Hedgehog folding knife in your hands.

Big Idea Design’s Ultem Pen Elevates Everyday Writing

A pen that writes well is best for everyday carry. But a pen that also looks great at the same time is a bonus. That’s why the new American-made and machined Ultem and titanium clip pen from Big Idea Design is a great candidate to be your next pocket daily driver. The hot translucent yellow from the US-made Ultem polyetherimide is becoming ubiquitous in everyday carry gear, but it’s not just for show. Using it in a fountain pen allows you to visualize the amount of ink you have left to work with, and it cuts a unique look in your hand compared to a basic clear plastic demonstrator pen you might find elsewhere.

And even if you’re new to fountain pens, the Big Idea Design Utem is a great place to start. That’s because the Kaweco nib on the pen writes very smoothly, with a fine line thickness that doesn’t feel as scratchy as other entry-level pens. And when comparing it to the feel of a cheap ballpoint, there’s no competition. Using the Kaweco nib also opens the wide world of swapping out nibs to the exact thickness that works for you because Kaweco sells those nibs in various sizes. The pen also comes with six Kaweco pearl black standard ink cartridges, and the more adventurous enthusiasts may attempt to fill the entire inner body of the pen with ink with a bit of silicone sealant to make for a tighter seal.
