This month Spyderco noted that sometimes “progress” is actually a step backward. The knife maker called out new knife laws in other countries – noting that Denmark has prohibited any one-hand-opening knife. Rather than just fold up and go home the knife maker has addressed the issue with modified versions of its U.K. Penknife!
The result is the Spyderco Spy-DK Orange Plain Edge Knife, which features a reduced blade, and removed the one-handed opening, but is otherwise still a solid pocketknife that will come in handy when needed.
Gerber has just introduced a new lineup of keychain and pocket-friendly tools that include a zip blade, driver with Phillips and flat head options, a hex diver, an LED light and bottle opener, a hook knife and even a black pocket knife. We don’t expect most of these to be friendly with TSA but they could just the thing when you need to fix something and don’t have access to the tool box.
Whether out hiking, camping, hunting or just spending a day in nature it isn’t a bad idea to have a good blade. This week we actually saw two!
If you’re heading off into the wilds chances are you might not always want to eat with your hands, but don’t have space for a lot of utensils. The Baladeo Eco133 will solve that problem, as it folds up into a compact pocket knife-sized package but opens up into an individual knife and spork. This seems more ideal than eating with a bulky Swiss Army knife any day and allows for a semi-civilized attempt at eating.
Sometimes technology doesn’t need to be advanced to be reliable and durable. Case in point, the G. Wiseman handmade pocketknife, which features classic antique styling. Each knife is made by hand by Gene Wiseman, a former horseshoe maker.
