Victorinox Farmer X Alox Damast Limited Edition 2024

If you want to stand out from the pack, it’s always a good idea to check the limited editions regularly put out by Victorinox. Take the new Farmer X Alox Damast Limited Edition, for example, which builds an elegant black and steel tone knife with an added touch of brilliance and a Damasteel folding blade.

The Farmer X Alox Damast Limited Edition takes the rugged and useful design of the Farmer X, with its serrated saw blade and screwdrivers, and elevates it with the Alox metal scales (with a color exclusively for 2024), which add additional durability and grip to the Swiss Army Knife. But the true star of the show is the 115-layer Damasteel blade that has a unique Hakkapella pattern with a hardness grade of 60 HRC, making it tougher than the standard SAK. What you get is a blade that looks as sharp as it can cut and a premium feel that’s a cut above the standard Farmer X, making it a great choice if you’re looking to add to your daily rotation. It’s limited to 7,000 sequentially numbered pieces worldwide so don’t wait too long if you want to get it.

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. It can be easily deployed in three different ways – using the front flipper, rear flipper, or the finger hole in the blade – thanks to its smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot.

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. The 3.23” blade, crafted from MagnaCut steel, offers best-in-class performance with exceptional toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The blade’s stonewashed finish and distinctive milling, along with the drilled holes for added flair, make this knife stand out in any collection. Available in additional material options such as 12C27 steel with a stainless steel handle and G10 overlay, the Nucleus caters to various preferences while maintaining its attractive design and functionality.

Skullcandy The Active Collection

Skullcandy’s active collection of sports earbuds is designed to endure sweat, water, dust, dirt, and the inevitable rough treatment that comes with an active lifestyle. The collection features three robust players: the Push ANC Active, Sesh ANC Active, and Push Play Active. Each earbud is crafted to meet the specific needs and budget of athletes and adventurers alike.

The Push ANC Active were designed for those who don’t hold back. These earbuds come with every feature you need, including comfortable, low-profile ear hangers, fully waterproof construction, adjustable Stay-Aware Mode, and 4-Mic Active Noise Canceling to keep you focused and in the zone. With 58 hours of total battery life and rapid charge capabilities, they are built to last through the longest workouts.

The Sesh ANC Active comes with a total battery life of 48 hours and fully waterproof construction, these earbuds are designed for all-day use. The Fit Grip design keeps them securely in place, whether you’re at home or on the move.

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.

The James Brand The Barnes

The James Brand continues to redefine the art of modern pocket knives with its latest offering, The Barnes. Crafted from a single billet of 6AL4V titanium, this frame-lock knife showcases a strong and elegant design language. It utilizes advanced CNC machining techniques that result in a sleek, solid handle (an integral, or single piece of titanium with a framelock cutout) that feels great to hold. At its heart lies a 3.5” drop-point blade made from Böhler M390 stainless steel, which is an ideal choice for EDC tasks that require high corrosion resistance.

The Barnes also features a machined 6AL4V titanium pocket clip, ensuring secure and discreet carry, and includes a paracord lanyard for added convenience. Each knife is presented in a premium gift box complete with a CNC wood insert, polishing cloth, and a collectible double-sided TJB coin that pays homage to the Clovis point—one of humanity’s earliest tools. Designed for right-handed, tip-up carry, and weighing a mere 4.6 oz, The Barnes combines practicality with an eye-catching design, making it the perfect tool for both everyday use and special occasions.

Vosteed Shark Bomb Prybar

This one’s for everyday carry enthusiasts who know they shouldn’t use their knives as prybars and need a bombproof alternative. The new Vosteed Shark Bomb looks like an old-school bomb, but there’s more to its retro shape. On the business end of the bomb is the pry wedge and nail puller, but this unique tool also offers a staple remover thanks to its curved hook at the tip. And, of course, no pocket everyday carry tool would be complete without a bottle opener, and the Vosteed Shark Bomb Prybar includes one.

With its integrated reversible wire clip, the Vosteed Shark Bomb Prybar can be carried like a pocket knife, ensuring you always have it on hand when needed. Vosteed also included a key ring to allow the Shark Bomb to be added to your keychain for carry convenience. The solid grade 5 titanium construction is as bombproof as the tool’s design inspiration, and the jimping and chamfered edge give you more control than a standard minimalist everyday carry prybar can offer.

CJRB Pyrite Light

The trend towards lightweight knives in everyday carry is welcome, but knives in that group tend to be smaller. That’s why we love the new CJRB Pyrite Light, which actually sizes up Artisan Cutlery’s time-tested Pyrite design from 3.11″ to 3.34″ while only adding 5 grams over the original. They also switched the handle from steel with G10 scales to a more efficient fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) design.

With the button lock built into the handle, the modified wharncliffe-style utility blade made of solid AR-RPM9 stainless steel locks into place securely. We like that this edition of the knife keeps the easy-to-sharpen flat ground blade geometry that lacks a bolster, making it very easy to touch up with a whetstone for maintenance. Better still, with the CJRB Pyrite Light, you get a smaller price, so it’s an easy pickup if you’re looking to switch up or add to your everyday carry rotation.

CRKT Fial

CRKT has partnered with Princeton Wong, an acclaimed custom knifemaker, to release the Fial Liner Lock knife. Inspired by Wong’s award-winning design from the 2021 Blade Show, the Fial features a 3.62” blade with a unique hidden wine tool, including a corkscrew and boot lever, tucked into the handle.

Available in two versions, the Fial Liner Lock offers a 12C27 steel blade with a bead blast finish and stainless steel handle for $113, and a luxurious Böhler M390 steel blade with a satin finish and titanium handle for $275. The knife measures 8.25” when open and 4.61-2” when closed, with weights ranging from 5.60 to 3.80 oz. Both models are equipped with CRKT’s renowned IKBS ball-bearing pivot system for smooth deployment and a liner lock for easy one-handed closure. With its blend of innovative design and practical features, the Fial Liner Lock is a versatile and stylish addition to any EDC collection.

Craighill’s Sidewinder Knife Is a Serpentine-Inspired Kinetic Sculpture

Everyday carry folding knives tend to follow a straightforward mold. Looking at the market, you might start to think that there’s very little room for innovation. But if you take a look at a knife like the new Craighill Sidewinder, you begin to see some new ideas at play. The two-tone handle belies its unique deployment and locking mechanism. The two-piece handle features a unique interlocking design by Chen Chen and Kai Williams that turns heads and deserves a double-take.

The made-in-the-USA Craighill Sidewinder features a unique interlocking two-piece mechanical handle. In the closed position, separating the two flips the blade out of the handle. The two halves then come together and lock the blade into place. The blade also has a more traditional flipper index tab for even faster opening when needed. Once you have it open, the 12C27 stainless steel drop point blade is ready to get to work.

Redwood’s Can-Am Chronograph Revs up Your Wrist Game Through the Golden Era of Motorsports

The whole point of a watch is that it should tell the time. The whole point of a race is that the fastest competitor should win the event. Sometimes it can be hard to tell who won the race, especially when the competitors aren’t racing all at once. That’s one of the reasons why watchmakers developed the chronograph complication long ago. On a wristwatch. like the new Redwood Can-Am, you can use a chronograph to time events with precision. You also get a stunning timepiece on your wrist that adds aesthetic flair to your everyday carry.

The Redwood Can-Am features retro looks with modern touches. Its 40mm case size, suitable for larger wrists, is a departure from vintage styling. The Can-Am foregoes radioactive tritium lume in favor of Super-LumiNova in low light. The modern reliable 5 Hz Seiko VK64 quartz movement also keeps time better than old antiques, too. You can choose between a black dial, a black-and-white panda, and a silver-toned dial to suit your style. Each version of this tool watch has enough versatility to be your daily driver.

Kizer’s Militaw Is All About Smooth Action, Clean Lines, and Exceptional Fit and Finish

We’ve had our eyes on Kizer for a while now, and this new release continues to impress. Designed by knife maker Jonathan Styles, the Kizer Militaw (which means “hummingbird” in Mi’kmaq) embodies a minimalist and futuristic design, drawing inspiration from the hummingbird’s wing shape and tail tip. Its blade, crafted from S35VN steel, ensures peak sharpness, durability, and corrosion resistance, while its titanium and Micarta handle, complemented by a titanium 3D clip, marries comfort with utility, ensuring a secure grip and easy carry. At an ideal size of 7.99” in total length with a 3.35” blade, the Militaw perfectly balances compactness and usability.

A variant of the Militaw came out this year, introducing a treat of upgrades including bumping up the blade to S45VN in an incredibly unique polished DLC, swapping out the Micarta scales for Fat Carbon, all while keeping the price to a very reasonable $219 despite the combination of exceptional features, fit, and finish.

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.

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.

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.
