Years ago, in preparation for a four-month trip through South America, I decided the time had come to invest in a proper, quality pocket knife. The only trouble was I didn't know what that meant; only that I didn't want something too big or aggressively tactical. I found myself drawn to the simple drop-point folders I saw in shops' display cases, many of which had a butterfly etched onto their blades.
I didn't know that butterfly was Benchmade's logo, nor that it refers to the brand's origins as a producer of butterfly knives. But I soon found out these pocket knives didn't fit into my budget and settled on a $40 Gerber that got me through my trip handily.
Benchmade's allure remained, though, and it grew as I learned more about the company, the high-quality steels and handles it uses, and the exacting nature of its manufacturing. I did eventually get a Benchmade, and recently I enlisted the brand's custom shop to create the pocket knife of my dreams. But when I was combing through gear shops years ago, I would've been thankful for Blade HQ's latest sale, which offers discounts on some of the brand's most beloved blades.
For one of the brand's classics, check out the Griptillian, and for a lightweight knife suitable for outdoor adventures, look to the Bugout. Then there's the high-end Proper Clip Point Slip Joint Knife, which features a 2.825-inch clip point blade that Benchmade discontinued. The Griptillian and Bugout are both 15 percent off, with the Proper being 34 percent discontinued.
Esteemed knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes designed this folding knife with clean, curvy lines that maximize its utility and give it a unique look. Its blade is made of great tool steel that will stand up regular use and its handle, which features a reliable frame lock, is designed with finger cutouts to foster a firm grip.
Thumb slot allows for one-handed opening
Broad blade combined with fine point is quite versatile
There are pocket knives with higher-quality materials than The Carter, but they come with higher prices too. With low-maintenance and high-end VG-10 steel, a milled handle, sliding lock and smooth action, this pocket knife cuts a fine line between awesome features and an approachable price.
A lot of cheap pocket knives are, unfortunately, bad pocket knives. Opinel's No.8 is remarkably cheap, but it isn't bad at all. In fact, it's iconic — the French knifemaker has been producing it for more than 100 years. It doesn't have any fancy mechanisms, but it will stand up to lots of use, and you replace it when it fails without thinking twice, thanks to its sub $20 price. (Plus, it's pretty darn handsome.)
These athlete-inspired earbuds are one of our favorites for working out thanks to new features like SurroundSafe keep you protected and aware on the road or trail.
Dyson's smaller cooling fan/air purifier is still plenty strong: it can clear a 350-square-foot room of 99.97 percent of pollutants and allergens as small as .3 microns.
