Colt Buckshot Bone Moose – $16.99
While Colt is best-known for its firearms, they’ve been producing some quality pocketknives with their overseas partners. The Colt Buckshot Bone Moose is part of a series that is simply gorgeous. The stippling detail in the bone handles is marvelous, and that doesn’t touch the decorative nickel silver bolsters and shield.

Each piece is hand cut and hand inlaid to achieve the best selection for each knife. Anything less wouldn’t be a Rough Rider. The features on this Trapper include 440A stainless steel blades, synthstone handle inlay (that look like and feel like the real deal), genuine abolone and mother of pearl, ringed and fluted nickel silver bolsters, and brass pins and liners.

Kershaw Chive Stainless – $46.99
Just a note. This is my favorite EDC. It’s an incredible little knife, so I’m completely biased. I think everyone should have a Kershaw Chive. The USA-made Chive features state-of-the-art technology and design! Award-winning knife maker, Ken Onion began a quest to create the perfect knife as a Marine machinist. Inspiration struck years later as he repaired a Harley cam for a friend. The result is the amazing Speed-Safe system incorporating Torsion Bar Technology that allows you to simply flick the flipper with a finger and the knife is open and locked into place. The Chive’s features include a 420 HC stainless steel 2″ clip point blade, a thumb stud, thumb flipper, SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism (that is lighting quick), 410 stainless steel handles, the framelock safety tip lock, a lanyard hole, and a removable pocket clip. At 2-7/8″ closed, this knife almost disappears in your pocket.

And one more…
Reate Knives – Stonewash Horizon with Carbon Fiber Handle – $399.99
I just had to include this Reate Knives Horizon. Yes, my wallet is far lighter today, because I had to have one of these incredible knives. This stunning adaptation of the Horizon platform features a 3D machined carbon fiber handle with a subtly fanned flute milled pattern and 6Al4V titanium framelock. The handle has blue anodized hardware and back spacer, while the titanium pivot and pocket clip have also been dressed up with a topo-style etching. Keeping up with the upgraded nature of this fine folder is a Bohler M390 steel blade with a stonewash finish and flipper opener. Set on a multi-row ball-bearing pivot, the blade whips open with aplomb. This Reate Horizon is a true beauty, with the build-quality and action to back it up. The drop point blade is 3 3/4″ long and 1/8″ thick and the whole knife closes to an impressive 5″.
