If there’s one thing that’s sure to be found on every Gear Patrol staffer’s desk — and some don’t even keep a pen handy — it’s a pocket knife. We’re all geeks for knives, and our collection ranges from the James Brand’s sleek Chapter to Opinel’s classic folder. Our knives cut citrus for cocktail garnishes, add ambiance to our original photography, venture into the backcountry, and unseal their fair share of packages (sometimes containing other knives!). We get pretty excited when some of our personal favorites wind up with marked-down prices, so much so that we want to make sure that you know about them before those discounts disappear. Below, you’ll find five knives that are guaranteed to make great companions for your desk and beyond — we promise.
