17 New Pocket Knives, Multi-Tools and EDC Items You Might Have Missed

The four $105 variants of the Sero (including the red-handled version shown) boast 3.02-inch straight-back blades made of S35VN steel, glass-reinforced nylon handles with Art Deco-inspired grooves, snappy rear flippers, smooth crossbar locks and a weight of 2.3 ounces. (Two $250 Frame Lock Seros, meanwhile, feature Damascus steel blades and titanium with Damascus inlay handles.)

The Pioneer X — with its knife blade, bottle opener, can opener, scissors, driver and more — is one of Victorinox’s best all-around Swiss Army Knives. Along with its already incredibly useful set of functions, this special edition also gets a set of Glacial Blue Alox handle scales, helping to elevate the tool to new heights for 2026.

The keychain-friendly Classic SD — with its knife blade, scissors, driver and nail file — is one of Victorinox’s most iconic Swiss Army Knives ever. Along with its already incredibly useful set of functions, this special edition also gets a set of Glacial Blue Alox handle scales, helping to elevate the tool to new heights for 2026.

The Evoke is a bit different from most of Victorinox’s SAKs, as it is more of a focused folding knife and doesn’t have a suite of other functions. That said, it’s sturdy, reliable and hard-working, boasting a drop-point blade, back lock and paracord lanyard. Along with its already incredibly build, this special edition also gets a set of Glacial Blue Alox handle scales, helping to elevate the tool to new heights for 2026.

Knife connoisseurs will appreciate the bona fides of this Best Made Co edition of a classic GiantMouse fixed blade, distinguished here by the brass scales that have historically found their way into many a BMC product. Highlights include a 2.6-inch full-tang drop-point blade made of N690 cobalt stainless steel with stonewashed PVD finish, a weight of just 1.9 ounces and a natural leather sheath that, like the blade itself, is made in Italy.

If home is where the heart is, we should probably treat the item that keeps it safe with a bit more reverence. At least, that’s the idea behind Formawerx’s first-ever residential keypiece, the OpenSpec Haven. Crafted from a precision-engineered combination of stainless steel and Ultem, it features warm, welcoming lines and an appropriately homey design — a stark contrast to the brand’s typically more aggressive automotive-focused offerings. And the pièce de résistance is the cutout in the center, into which you can fit a small keepsake photograph to remind you of what’s important in life. The design is compatible with Schlage, Kwikset, Yale, Baldwin and Weiser keys.

Award-winning Wisconsin-based designer Matthew Lerch invites you to reconsider the humble liner lock with this custom-based flipper, which boasts a protruding, generously jimped take on the mechanism that makes retracting the blade with one hand much easier. Other highlights of the base model (shown) include a 3.22-inch sheepsfoot blade made of D2 steel, grippy G10 handles and a feathery weight of just 2.1 ounces. Higher-priced variants with 14C28N and Damascus steel are also available.

Zero Tolerance’s first major release of 2026, the 0117 is inspired directly by the design of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft. A sleek gentleman’s knife, it boasts a 3.3-inch MagnaCut drop-point blade, thumb stud deployment, DuraLock (crossbar) lock and carbon fiber handle scales. It also has a reversible pocket clip, making it fully ambidextrous.

Unscrew this handy EDC accessory’s textured anodized aluminum body to reveal a compartment housing seven 4mm micro bits and a 1/4″ to 4mm bit adapter. The body then transforms into a driver, securing the chosen bit with a magnet and employing a ball-bearing spinner for reliable and smooth operation when tackling any everyday bit-driving task.

Measuring 8.6 inches from tip to tail, the Knight Fang is a marvelously minimalist blacked-out beast with only an orange-rimmed silver pivot screw providing a pop of color. The full-bellied, 3.62-inch drop-point blade is made of titanium-plated D2 steel, which delivers a compelling combo of edge retention and resistance to both wear and rust without breaking the bank.

The Wharncliffe blade shape dates back over 200 years, but We Knife has taken this classic style and updated it with a highly futuristic design and performance-oriented materials. Measuring over 9.0 inches in total, it’s deceptively large, aided by its slender profile. It also has an M390 blade (and there’s one with Fafnir Damasteel), titanium handle, flipper deployment and liner lock.

Together with the Microblade, WESN’s flagship knife gets a head-turning makeover courtesy of a collaboration with Toronto-based silversmiths Clocks + Colours. Highlights include a PVD coated black and stonewashed treatment for the 2.8-inch drop-point S35VN steel blade and a blacked-out stainless steel handle adorned with a carbon fiber inlay.

The Fisher Space Pen, which NASA sent to the moon during the Apollo missions, is one of the most iconic writing utensils ever built. However, this tactical edition is special for a few reasons. For starters, it’s the only bolt-action deploying pen in the brand’s lineup. It also has a ruler scale on its side and a glass-breaker tip for emergencies. And it has a high-strength aluminum body that’s scratch-, impact- and corrosion-resistant.

This premium treatment of an iconic, 27-year-old tactical EDC knife silhouette boasts a 3.37-inch tanto blade made of MagnaCut super steel, prized for its rare blend of toughness, edge retention and corrosion resistance. Even more notable, however, is the fact that thanks to independently pivoting titanium handles, Kit Carson’s legendary creation now functions as a butterfly knife.

This high-end knife is nearly identical to the M16-02BALI, meaning it also features MagnaCut super steel and butterfly knife functionality, as well as user-friendly nods to the M16’s heritage, including waffle-textured pivots, semi-skeletonized handles and a dual hilt complete with grippy jimping. The lone difference is the fact that rather than a tanto, it boasts a 3.38-inch drop-point blade.

It seems Kershaw’s designers are waxing a bit nostalgic as they look forward, so to speak. A part of its early 2026 launch calendar, the Bareknuckle draws much of its stylistic inspiration from a knife of the brand’s (or rather its sister brand’s) past, the Zero Tolerance 0777. However, there are some noteworthy differences between the two, like this reimagining’s MagnaCut blade and DuraLock (crossbar lock) mechanism.

One of the lightest full-size EDC knives ever, the Eric Glesser-designed Charisma weighs in at a stunning 0.8 ounces. Key ingredients include a 2.98-inch modified wharncliffe blade made of Carpenter Technology’s nitrogen-enriched CTS BD1N stainless steel, a low-profile back lock and linerless FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle scales.
