A Meticulously Machined EDC Knife Ups Its Appeal with a Handy Fan-Requested Feature

Last year, the blade-sharpening wizards at Work Sharp shook things up by releasing their own EDC knife, which uniquely offered the ability to get your hands dirty switching between automatic and manual deployment. Now the brand gets back to basics with a more approachable treatment of the RMX, ditching swap-ability in favor of fan-requested ambidextrous thumb studs for swift, smooth one-handed opening. Meanwhile, other coveted qualities remain, including a 3.2-inch drop-point blade made of M390 super steel, a lightweight integral magnesium handle finished with corrosion-resistant Cerakote, a reversible deep-carry pocket clip and a sturdy button lock.

It’s also fully reconfigurable, so you can customize it to your setup. And if you need something smaller, the brand also offers the Capsule Pro Compact, and there’s even a separate modular tripod case.

It’s all in the title. Sprints took the tried-and-true method of covering your car seat with a beach towel after leaving the beach, lake, pool or whatever body of water your adventures take you to, and made it a purpose-built accessory. A sleeve slips over the headrest to keep the towel from slipping down and there are vents to fit a seatbelt through. Of course, it’s also a fully functional beach towel, available in six decorative patterns.
