Everyday carry can consume your attention: the weight of a knife in your pocket, the smoothness of a ball-bearing pivot, the way a blade holds its edge after weeks of use.
This week, our coverage leaned into that obsession, with a run of folding knives that reward the kind of close inspection most people reserve for far more expensive purchases.
Two brands really brought their A-game: We Knife/Civivi riffed on the Elementum in multiple compelling ways, while Böker brought potent military-inspired and tactical EDC knives to the table.
Catch up on all the latest and greatest sharp-edged releases below.
GiantMouseGiantMouse Jutland Slipjoint Blackout
A limited run of 100 individually numbered pieces, this new interpretation takes GiantMouse’s award-winning Jutland Slipjoint (a two-time Field & Stream Best Hunting Folder honoree) and wraps it in an all-black PVD finish. The 2.65-inch S90V blade pairs with milled titanium scales and a traditional nail-nick opener in a non-locking format that travels well and cuts cleaner than its understated profile suggests. It’s a collector’s piece built for EDC devotees who want history in their pocket but demand modern performance.
BökerBöker Plus Kazy
French knife designer and blacksmith Gabriel Berthelemy of La Forge Agab brings his signature aesthetic to this tactically oriented 2.43-ounce EDC folder. Its 2.64-inch Nitro-V harpoon blade carries a black oxide coating that fights scratches and kills unwanted glare. A ball-bearing pivot and front flipper deliver smooth one-handed deployment, while a liner lock, Coyote Tan G10 handle scales and a tip-up deep-carry clip round out the package.
Kansept KnivesKansept Falk
Kansept’s first collaboration with French designer Cédric Destombes combines a sleek silhouette with desirable materials. The 3.31-inch drop-point blade comes in Damascus steel or Elmax, depending on the variant, while the ergonomic handles boast a range of snazzy scales including 80S Camo Carbon Fiber and Rag Burl Current Micarta. Deployed via an ambidextrous thumb stud, the blade stays steady thanks to a reliable liner lock, while a sturdy tip-up clip, uniquely curved to match the handle’s contoured shape, makes it easy to tote in your pocket.
