Summer is in full swing and we are feeling the heat.
If you, like us, are looking to cool off inside for a bit, it might be worth your time to sit back, relax and thumb through this week’s wild, wacky and wonderful EDC knife and tool releases.
The wide-ranging offerings include a quirky yet utilitarian, affordable Leatherman multi-tool, an all-American Buck Bowie knife, a reimagining of one of Benchmade’s most beloved knives and even a WWI revival from Böker.
But that’s hardly all there is to behold. Check out those products and more below.
BuckBuck 119 Special America 250 Edition
Buck is one of the most storied, long-lasting American knifemaking brands around, and the brand’s 119 (an interpretation of the iconic Bowie knife) is a quintessentially American blade. However, this version really takes the cake. While it retains much of the same specs and construction, including that legendary 420HC clip point blade and combination brass and aluminum butt and guard, it gets a handle swap for a red, white and blue acrylic American flag motif. It’s an appropriate love letter to the brand’s heritage and country of origin.
Titaner Hornbill
The business end of Titaner’s second-ever EDC knife is a full-bellied 3.23-inch drop-point blade made of M390, a super steel prized for its wear resistance, corrosion resistance and edge retention. Performance is further boosted by a cutout at the base of the spine, complete with jimping, flanked by grippy, ambidextrous thumb studs. Additional highlights of the precision-machined folder are a sturdy, smooth-functioning Axis crossbar lock and your choice of handle scales: tough titanium or lighter, more affordable G10.
Prometheus Design WerxPDW SPD STS-SFLT Mudhorn
The PDW STS-SFLT is undoubtedly one of the brand’s lightest, toughest tactical and outdoor knives. However, this edition kicks it up a notch, granting it a blacked-out finish. But it’s not just a colorway; that’s a Cerakote finish, granting this knife even more durability and toughness. It’s also still made from a single piece of MagnaCut steel, retains its skeletonized full-tang handle (with its paracord wrap) and comes with a Kydex sheath. As a final touch, this knife gets a Mudhorn sigil: a subtle nod to The Mandalorian (of Star Wars fame).
