Cool Hunting
With the holy trinity of male essentials (phone, keys, wallet) bulging pockets already, adding anything to the roster is tough. To that end, having a pocket knife may not be very fashion forward but its usefulness is undeniable. The new Ashworth Turtle pocket knife is small enough to carry and well-designed. It's a good choice for those looking for something more subtle without compromising usability.
Designed by famed custom knife maker Boyd Ashworth, the Turtle features a fold out spear point blade made of polished high-carbon stainless steel. The blade itself is a stubby one inch long, the whole knife is only two inches when folded and it weighs in at 1.3 ounces. For artists and outdoorsmen alike, the turtle assists in daily tasks easily opening with one hand by pressing on the lower blade trigger.
Available in a variety of colors and finishes, purchase one for $40 from CRKT.
