Folder Fit for a Gentleman
Looking for a classy knife that looks like it’s meant for a special occasion but is designed for EDC? The new Pure folder from Woox is that knife. Featuring a 3.25-inch stainless steel blade length and measuring 7.5 inches open, the Pure is a featherweight at 2.7 ounces. The American walnut handle is 4.25 inches and is luxurious to the touch. The AISI D2 steel blade has an attractive satin finish and is operated with a peg actuator held in place with a solid liner lock locking system. There is a bit of jimping on the blade, and the blade profile is a gentle tanto.
Having a good, dependable blade can make all the difference when you have minimal equipment and you’re out to set up a wilderness camp. In a survival situation, your knife’s performance can mean the difference between life and death. Tilt the scale in your favor with one of the bushcraft knives that made our 2023 buyer’s guide. You’d be hard-pressed to find a lighter fixed-blade knife than the Carbon Stealth from Argali Outdoors, and the Shemanese from L.T. Wright Knives does an excellent job bridging the gap between a smaller knife for up-close work and a larger knife for big jobs. These are just the tip of the blade, so to speak. Read on to see them all!
Acquiring your own meat for the table requires lots of work, from preseason prep to the hunt itself, and, of course, care of the animal in the field. The knife you choose to carry has to be capable of handling many chores in harsh environments. The hunting knives we’ve selected for the 2023 buyer’s guide have what it takes. We’ve got an attractive lineup of ulus, capers, sheepsfoots, stickers, skinners and more!
Multitools are arguably the heavyweight champs of the EDC world. They pinch, slice, snip, screw, hammer and can even lend a hand in fire starting. Each tool on a multitool may not be the most premium one you’d otherwise own, but the multitool’s specialty is in being a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. And one of the most appealing things about multitools is that not all are created equal. Each one may have a different tool to offer, and each compilation of tools is often designed for a different lifestyle or trade. Your own set of indispensable tools may differ vastly from the guy’s down the street. Find your ultimate multitool among our top picks for 2023.
