Just because SHOT Show is in the rearview mirror doesn’t mean the momentum of the knife and multi-tool industry has slowed down all that much, believe it or not.
This list will catch you up on all the weird and wonderful products we’ve seen lately, including some brand-new gems as well as under-the-radar finds that are equally compelling, if not more so.
To catch up on other notable knife and multi-tools, check out our rolling roundup of the best new knives and EDC releases of 2025.
Tenable KnivesTenable Knives Fenrir
The Fenrir is a functional EDC knife with bold aesthetic lines, featuring a large belly and sharp point that make it versatile for everyday use. Multiple deployment options and versatile ergonomics ensure it’s a pleasure to handle.
KanseptKansept Orion
Designed by JB Stout, the Orion has one exceptionally unusual feature: blade machining that harkens to the kinds of dimples found on high-end Japanese chef knives. Of course, there’s also a lot outside of that to love, like its high-end blade steel, titanium frame lock handle, triple deployment methods and much more.
Al Mar KnivesAl Mar x Tops SERE Operator
A revival of one of Al Mar’s most iconic knives, this version was made in tandem with the tactical experts at Tops. It retains its fan-favorite shape and form, including its signature spear point blade, 154CM steel and iconic handle. This is one instance where we’re glad to see little has changed, as this legendary military training knife was already practically perfect.
BökerBöker Plus Lefti
Böker and US designer Chuck Gedraitis have come together to reimagine an iconic locking mechanism, the Walker Liner Lock, by making it ambidextrous for the first time ever. It’s a super simple, clever change—there’s a liner lock on each side of this EDC knife’s handle, but one is pinned by a screw—but it’s also effective and so seemingly obvious, it’s a wonder nobody has tried it before.
