Victorinox isn’t shy about leaning into craft when the moment calls for it, and the new Evoke Wood Damast Limited Edition 2026, the latest in 17 years of annual Damast releases, is one of those moments. It’s a Swiss Army Knife that trades the usual stuffed toolset for something quieter and a lot more deliberate,

Tactile Knife Co. is best known in the wider EDC world through its sister brand, Tactile Turn, the Dallas pen maker many of our readers already carry. The knife side runs out of the same Texas shop and ships under its own roof, and the Maverick is the post that finally puts Tactile on this

WESN just turned its slip-joint sleeper hit into a made-to-order weekend project. The Detroit-designed brand opened orders on The Henry Pastel Camo & Co., a limited drop that wraps pastel G10 handles in a UV-printed camo design and ships in two colorways: DAY: Sky Blue Camo and NIGHT: Violet Camo. The order window is open

Kershaw has brought one of its most-wanted shapes back from retirement. It landed with a new lock, an upgraded steel, and a price that keeps the cult silhouette firmly in everyday-carry territory. The Bareknuckle DuraLock, officially Model 6777, went live earlier this year, reviving a design that EDC fans had been asking about for years

Kansept has built a name in the knife world for small, designer flippers that do more than their size suggests. This week’s EDC Knife of the Week leans into that same idea. The Kitpu is a slim titanium frame-lock knife, designed by Canadian maker Jonathan Styles. Kansept calls it a “small and sleek EDC designed

Case Knives has announced the Case Axe Handle knife. It is a new slipjoint pattern co-designed with Bill Ruple, an award-winning custom knifemaker. A brand-new pattern is rare for Case.

Benchmade has been building knives in Oregon City, Oregon since the late 1980s (the company traces back to 1979 as Bali-Song), and somewhere along the way, “Made in USA” became a genuine competitive advantage. Every blade ships with premium steel, the signature AXIS Lock for smooth ambidextrous operation, and a LifeSharp program covering lifetime sharpening

Most folding knives are built from separate pieces screwed together. Integral folders are different. The entire handle is carved from a single block of material using a CNC machine, which takes serious precision and usually costs serious money. Most integral folders start around $300. Tacray’s new Talos costs $119 and does something with the design

We first covered the Bugout Vapyr after Benchmade announced it at SHOT Show, but with the June 2 launch now less than two months away, this one deserves a closer look. Price: $375 Where to Buy: Benchmade Benchmade just did the one thing most brands are too scared to try. It took its best-selling EDC

Böker’s Atlas line has quietly become one of the most prolific families in everyday carry. With more than two dozen variants already on the market, the series has clearly struck a nerve with knife enthusiasts who want something slim, functional, and genuinely affordable. Now the German brand is giving fans what they’ve arguably been waiting

Most keychain knives ask you to lower your expectations. They’re afterthoughts. Tiny blades with even tinier ambitions, built to open the occasional package and not much else. The James Brand has spent years pushing back against that idea. The Elko Gen 2 is the clearest statement yet that keychain carry can be genuinely capable without

Price: $139 Where to Buy: Vosteed Most knife brands treat “slim” as a loose suggestion. They’ll shave half a millimeter off a handle, slap a new finish on the scales, and call it a day. Vosteed’s TiSlim line doesn’t work that way. The Porcupine TiSlim, the brand’s third entry in the series, makes that clearer

The higonokami is one of the longest-running japanese pocket knife designs in the world, a simple friction folder that first appeared in the mid-1890s in Miki, Japan. Its defining feature is also its biggest compromise. There’s no lock. You hold the blade open with your thumb on a small lever called the chikiri, and if
