Now that the holidays are in our rearview, brands are wasting no time spinning back up and showcasing what’s new in 2025. From exciting drops to the stories shaping the knife world, here’s everything you need to stay sharp this week.

Let’s do the damn thing!

ICYMI at BDEDC

Keep your eyes peeled. Later today, we’ve got an exclusive first look at Work Sharp’s latest sharpener, the Professional Precision Adjust Elite. It’s a long-awaited and serious upgrade to the fixed-angle sharpener from the Ashland, OR company that will put other sharpener brands on notice.

Carry Commission Drop

This week at Carry Commission, we restocked our exclusive Pro-Tech Malibu Wharncliffe in topo green and the cognac Rustic Heirloom Hitchhiker. We also introduced a new product, the .44 Auto Mag Cash Stash, a replica of the caliber popularized by Clint Eastwood. It can hold a single rolled bill, a small amount of medicine, breath mints, or other small things on your keys in case of an emergency.

Check them out at Carry Commission.

Carry of the Week

As a contractor I carry around a lot of little tools to help with my day to day job site tasks, but I find that in my personal life the items that get the most use and bring me the most joy are a good pen and notebook. I find that having nice tools in both of these departments makes a simple and mundane task such as planning my day’s schedule into an absolute treat to look forward to, and at the end of the day I believe that’s what EDC should be all about.

SHOT Show kicks off this Tuesday in Las Vegas, NV, spotlighting the latest in firearms, shooting sports, hunting gear, and outdoor equipment. While traditionally focused on guns and tactical gear, SHOT has seen a growing number of EDC-related brands exhibiting, making it a key event for everyday carry. From knives to innovative gear, it’s the place to catch the trends and releases shaping the year ahead.

BM Knife & Tool has opened preorders for the Small Explorer, a 2.35" (59.7 mm) MagnaCut Explorer variant in the Field Spec production lineup. Choose from four blade shapes—Wharncliffe, Sheepsfoot, Drop Point, and Bowie Tanto—two blade finishes, and eight handle options. The Small Explorer includes a Kydex sheath, belt loop, and ITP clip. Pre-orders save $15 off MSRP.

Nine Point Knives is dropping 14 knives, including all four current models—Bobcat, Lynx, Coyote, and the debut of the Fox—on ninepointknives.com. Available in Nitro-V and Cruwear. First responders and military can contact them for exclusive coupon codes.

Chaves Knives is dropping the 50 Series Slip Joint in five variants: YKWII, The Suit, Corundum, El Chicano, and Dirty Steve. Limited to 50 each, these 5.88” (149.4mm) Ti-frame slip joints feature a 2.5” (63.5mm) blade, weigh 2.2oz (63.2g), and come with a leather pouch featuring the signature skull. New scales for Blue Label knives will also be released Friday at 10 AM MT.
