The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Based on the adage that if you can’t find what you want, you might have to make it yourself, The James Brand from Portland crafts knives and tools with premium materials, a minimalist design aesthetic, and clear attention to the details. The ultra-slim, ambidextrous Folson is the ultimate EDC knife. Fluid, simple, sleek, and subtle, it features a steel liner-lock and a reversible clip. The stainless steel blade holds an edge, resists corrosion, and is easy to care for. This is a knife I intend to own and use for a lifetime. —Jon Langston, Commerce Editor
