The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Tools are everything when you find yourself in precarious situations. Even when you find yourself in normal, everyday situations, a trusty tool on-hand simply makes your life easier. And our new favorite EDC tool—brand-new from CRKT—has to be the Piet Blue.

Designed by Jesper Voxnaes in Denmark, this D2 steel blade has exceptional edge retention, the glass-reinforced nylon handle feels ultra sturdy in-hand, and the liner lock is designed and built with all the quality you’d expect from CRKT. We love the classic blade shape and the ergonomics of the thumb slot makes for smooth opening with either hand.

It’s lightweight, so it doesn’t intrude on our pocket functionality, yet still feels like a heavyweight tool when put to use. This blade is a home run for anyone that values a reliable tool for everyday application.—Jon Perino, senior editor
