New EDC tools and knives launched by Benchmade, Oknife, and CIVIVI
Several manufacturers have introduced new everyday carry (EDC) tools and knives featuring specialized materials and multi-functional designs.
Benchmade has launched the SlipRidge, a new hunting folder from its Hunt Collection. The knife features a 3.5-inch modified clip point blade made from CPM MagnaCut steel and utilizes an AXIS Lock. The design includes user-removable scales intended to prevent debris from entering the pivot mechanism.
Oknife has released the MK, a compact tool that integrates a 9Cr18MoV steel slipjoint folder, a magnetic bit driver, and a 300-lumen spotlight. The device is USB-C rechargeable but can also operate on a single AAA battery.
Other notable releases include the CIVIVI Vyrent, a folding knife featuring a 3.48-inch Damascus drop-point blade and G10 handles, and the TOOLT by YSMART, a 7 cm multifunctional tool that incorporates three locking tool plates and a replaceable utility blade.
