Today In Gear: Deejo’s Customizable Pocket Knives, the Best Booze We Drank This Month & More

Today in Gear is our daily roundup of all the latest product announcements, drops and deals. Comments or concerns? We’d love to hear from you at [email protected].

A custom folding pocket knife can be the perfect heirloom-worthy Father’s Day present, but cost often prohibits most people from gifting one. Deejo is here to solve that problem with its MyDeejo online platform. Through MyDeejo, you can customize one of the brand’s ultralight folding frame lock knives to make it perfect for any dad’s style. That includes choosing the finishing, like “tattooing” the chisel-ground 420 stainless steel blade with one of over 60 illustrations, selecting the material for the handle, or engraving the handle with the text of your choice. The custom knives are available in three different sizes (15 grams, 27 grams and 37 grams) and start at just $24 (for the 15-gram size). If you’re in the market for a unique pocket knife to call your own, look no further.

Garmin Speak with Amazon Alexa
Save 50%: Amazon’s Alexa is already a staple of homes around the world, allowing people to perform all kinds of once-laborious tasks as easily as raising their voice. It’s also begun making its way into cars. Several brands, such as Ford, BMW and Hyundai, have all added Alexa capabilities to their new vehicles, and that list of manufacturers is sure to grow as the years go by.
If you’re not in the market for a new car, though, that doesn’t do you much good. Luckily, there are plenty of aftermarket add-ons by reputable companies that can bring Amazon’s virtual assistant to any vehicle. The Garmin Speak With Amazon Alexa is a small, simple gadget that sticks to your windshield; by pairing with your phone via Bluetooth and leveraging its data connection, the Speak can be used to communicate with smart gadgets at your home or office, play music from SiriusXM or Pandora (Spotify capabilities should be added eventually), create lists of things to do or coordinate with your calendar, even play games. And of course, it is a Garmin, the first name in aftermarket navigation systems — so it’ll happily give you turn-by-turn directions, too. It’s normally $100, but you can snag it today on Amazon for just $50.
