Refined Pocket Knives With Rugged Style: Made The Cut

The latest pocket knives releases emphasize both form and function

Pairing up a black- or silver-toned blade with a similarly monotone handle is as fashionably sleek as it is understated. From the looks of it, knife makers are creating refined pocket knives that are as stunning in the looks department as they are useful in the field. The latest knives are a varied lot that span from an everyday carry fixed blade cleaver to a selection of utilitarian folders. With so many variations to choose from, which blade will you choose?
