We noticed something a bit different while compiling this week’s roundup of newsworthy sharp stuff.
Whereas there is usually a fixed blade, a multi-tool or even a pen in the mix, this time around it’s all folders, baby.
That’s not a huge surprise, as we’ve come to realize the popularity of pocket knives — and the brands making them — only seems to grow over time.
With that in mind, here are the coolest recent drops from Böker, Cold Steel, CRKT, Spyderco and more.
To catch up on other notable knives and multi-tools, check out our rolling roundup of the best new knives and EDC releases of 2025.
Böker BRLW G10
Zero ToleranceZero Tolerance 0203
Following in the footsteps of its sister brand, Kershaw, Zero Tolerance has finally launched a knife with an ambidextrous, strong and reliable crossbar lock. However, even without that novel mechanism, this knife would still be exceptional, courtesy of its premium M4 PVD-coated blade and G10 handle. It’s a strong release that’s helping the brand remain relevant, even with only three knife releases so far this year.
