It seems like every time we talk about pocket knives we wind up mentioning The James Brand — and not without good reason. The brand's knack for quality, clean design and impressive attention to detail make it appealing to everyone from outdoorsmen to graphic designers. Take The Chapter, for example. It was the very first knife The James Brand ever made, and it proves yet again that less is more when it comes to a good daily-carry knife. To celebrate the brand's very first blade, all orders over $150 will receive a free kit to build your own wooden replica version of The Chapter — a fun, safe and functional wooden knife made in conjunction with Jameson Woodworks in Belton, South Carolina. It goes together in minutes and folds just like the real thing, but is totally safe (and fun). Only 500 kits have been produced, and they are only available as a gift with purchase while supplies last.

We're on the eve of winter, and you're probably not thinking about camping and hiking. You should be, though, because Black Friday and the days leading up to it are one of the best times to score a deal on everything you need to go out into the hills with a pair of hiking boots or a tent. We're talking hiking boots, headlamps, backpacks — the works.
What's a camping blanket? Like sleeping bags, they're made with ripstop shells and stuffed with puffy insulation that makes them supremely warm yet easy to scrunch down to the size of a melon. Unlike sleeping bags, camping blankets are versatile enough for use in a range of temperatures and fit for the tent and the sofa back home. Some of the best available are on sale for Black Friday, just in time for a winter's worth of lounging.
Take it from us: there are few better ways to go camping than in a rooftop tent. High above the world on top of your ride, there's no need to worry about intruding animals, rocky sleeping surfaces or groundbound cold seeping up; there's just you and the view, safe and sound between earth and sky. And if you want to take one of these home at a discount, you can do so right now as part of the broader Black Friday and Cyber Mondaysales extravaganza.
