Filson Assisted Opening Knife

Few EDC items are as handy as a quality pocketknife. At worst, they make opening packages easier. At best, they become family heirlooms that are passed down for generations. Either way, you can’t go wrong giving one as a gift. Filson’s Assisted Opening Knife is made in the USA and features a 4.5-inch stainless steel blade.
