The Endura and Delica are two of Spyderco’s most enduring models. Each is currently in their fourth generation and better than ever.

Not too big, and not too small, it perfectly bridges the gap to create a brand new EDC knife, and it just feels right.

The Best Victorinox Swiss Army Knives You Can Buy In 2019
I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, there was nothing cooler than a Swiss Army Knife. There’s always been something just so appealing about having all those gadgets in a pocket knife form that even now when I’m older, never goes out of style.
When people think of Swiss Army Knives, the image of the iconic red-handled pocket knife is probably what comes to mind, but they do a lot more than just that. Since Victorinox has been around since the late 1800s, there are innumerable models to choose from at this point, but we’ve narrowed it down to the Top 10 that we think represents the best of what this hallowed brand has to offer.
Why You Need a Pena Signature Series Pena-Song Butterfly Knife
The Enrique Pena Signature Series Pena-Songs are the mid-tech versions of Pena’s full-on customs and they are one hundred percent American-made. They come in at about half the price of the custom versions but the fit, finish and attention to detail is unimpeachable. All the final assembly is performed by Pena himself to provide great hand-tuned flipping action. If you’ve been craving one of Enrique’s custom Balisongs but can’t swing the payment, these will be right up your alley. The delta in quality between the two is very narrow and you really aren’t giving up much by owning a Signature Series Pena-Song.

It’s designed for operators that need a solid tool that doesn’t take up a lot of space or weight, but it works just as well for folks that need a tactically oriented EDC or backup blade without the overbuilt bulk that many tactical knives can fall victim to.
