9 New Pocket Knives, Multitools and EDC Accessories You May Not Miss

Shorter than a standard house key, as sturdy as they come and loaded with features, the Stoke Scout is an outstanding introduction to what a multi-tool keychain can be. Despite its small length, it is extremely strong and durable (courtesy of the stainless steel one-piece construction), and has 7+ functions: driver, pry bar, box cutter, cord cutter, hex wrench, wire stripper, bottle opener and more. Best of all, it’s also very affordable.

Just in time for the spring fishing season, Case Knives has released its new Fillet Knife collection, which includes the 8 Inch Fillet Knife. Designed to handle both delicate and larger grips, the knife is designed with a mirror polished, stainless steel blade with a taper grind for clean, smooth cuts, and a non-slip synthetic handle that stays secure even when wet. At 4 ounces and 14 inches long, the Case fillet knife is perfect for small game hunting and cutting meat and vegetables for camping. The 8 inch knife is compatible with its 6 inch counterpart.

Lightweight (five ounces) yet packed with useful functions such as pliers, wire cutters, a large bit driver and a 2.6-inch blade made of 154CM steel, and an integrated carabiner, the CX is one of the most EDC-friendly Leathermans ever. Adding to the spring 2026 lineup are three new colors: Aurora (shown), Nocturnal and Sandstorm.

Vosteed’s Nip-L is both a new version of the existing knife, the Divo Nip, and a reimagining. Not only is it bigger, boasting a 3.15-inch blade that’s a big bump from the original 2.25-inch option, but it’s also more refined, ergonomic, lighter and safer. It also sees its steel upgraded from S90V to Elmax, the handle is now made of titanium and gets a button lock. It is a strong example of how a revival should be done: not a copy, but an improvement.

This unique take on the EDC knife is inspired by classic Japanese warrior swords, a beauty that’s edge-to-edge. The blade is a 2.44-inch Chū-Kissaki-style straight back made of budget-friendly 440C stainless steel with a full tang, extending through a 3.86-inch handle. That’s arguably the most interesting part, as the base is ray skin wrapped with wine red thread using a Hineri-Maki cross pattern. The knife also comes with a Kydex sheath and belt clip, increasing its EDC capability.

Civivi’s Elementum has been its best-selling knife for years. It is probably the most recognizable image of the brand. But this version kicks it up a notch with a high-performance S35VN alloy steel and FatCarbon grip scales, which is a nice bump from the standard G-10 and D2 or 14C28N steel. The knife also features a functional, powerful, ambidextrous crossbar lock, reversible pocket clip, lanyard hole and thumb rests for ease of use.

Named after the Nuremberg area favored by GiantMouse’s Danish founders, Ace Atelier leans on its Art Deco-inspired vibes with this heritage treatment. The business end has a 2.9-inch black PVD-coated drop-point blade made of Elmax super steel. The handle scales from which this knife takes the second part of its moniker, meanwhile, are made of lovely flat brass, and with a matching brass backspacer, it will be comfortable over time.

The budget-friendly little brother brand to We Knife and Civivi packs a ton of value into this hot little slipjoint. The business end is a 3.12-inch pull point made of D2 steel, which offers excellent edge retention and durability without breaking the bank, while the handle features your choice of G10, canvas micarta (shown) or wood, along with a lanyard hole and retractable tip pocket clip.

This may be the most mysterious pocket knife ever made. When closed, it looks and functions like a standard 3/4-inch mil-spec plastic BDU button. However, run your fingernail along its edges and you’ll catch a nail extension that’s made of 1095 stainless steel. That makes it a perfect addition to your “in case of emergency” wardrobe, giving you a powerful cutting tool in a surprisingly small pocket. And when you turn it off again, it goes back to being a normal button.
