Awesome Knives

Strider and TAD team up for a skeletonized version of the Dive Utility Knife (DUK); made from a single piece of CPM S110V steel, it features a 4″ cutting edge and flat kydex sheath.

New for 2010: Cold Steel’s Recon I tactical folding knives sport Teflon-finished Japanese stainless steel blades, G-10 laminate scale handles, and patent-pending Tri-Ad locks.

This Alox Soldier Knife is your last chance to own the classic 1961 knife issued to the Swiss Army; it’s from the final 500 unit production run with engraved signature by Victorinox’s CEO.

Guy Fieri’s Knuckle Sandwich Knives would go well with any diner, drive-in, or dive: they feature high carbon stainless steel blades, ergonomic grips, and hollow ground ovals.

The SL6 Rescue Tool is a life-saving must-have: weighing just 3 oz., the one-handed multitool packs an LED flashlight, 50/50 blade with seat belt/line cutter, window punch, and whistle.

The stealth warrior’s equivalent of a Swiss Army Knife, the Ninja Tanto Battle Package features a full-tang blade with a hidden push dagger, three throwing spikes, and ten caltrops.

Cheap, simple, but ultra-reliable, the Douk Douk Knife has been used for over 70 years by the French; it sports a single carbon steel blade and blackened folded steel handle.

The Mo-Tool Axe is already a multi-tool with a hammer and axe head, but the handle (wood inlay or black) packs a can opener, wire cutter, pliers, file, wrench, screwdrivers, and blades.

Limited to 100, Strider’s Dauntless Framelock is their first folder in years; it features a 4″ blade and a solid slab titanium folder that weighs 0.36 lbs thanks to Reduction Terraced construction.

Created to honor the first SEAL killed in the Iraq war, Benchmade’s Marc Lee Glory Knife features a Re-curve blade and grooved handle; a portion of proceeds goes here. Thanks, Max!

Bikers can stay prepared, save space and stash cash with this Benchmade-built, Harley Davidson branded Levitator Knife; it’s a modified tanto blade with built-in money clip.

An upgraded version of the framelock folding knives used by the Marines, Warren Thomas’ Strider SMF sports hi-tech materials including carbon fiber and satin-finished titanium.

Smith’s Pocket Pal is a multi-function compact sharpener for tool and tackle boxes; it features reversible and replaceable carbide and ceramic stones, plus a diamond coated rod.

The Striker Folding Multi-Blade is a utility knife done right: a big but pocket-friendly handle, striking cap, crosscut file, and on-board blade storage make drywalling a cinch.

Designed for special forces, Pohl Force’s H3 Alpha One Knife is a beast with a 5 mm blade, grooved glass-reinforced Zytel handles, and slotted screws for easy repair. Thanks, Lucas!

It may not have as many tools as modern knives, but Victorinox’s 125th Anniversary Heritage Knife is a historical treasure: it’s a replica of an 1884 Swiss Army Soldier’s Knife.
