Kershaw Appa Folding Tactical Pocket Knife, $16 (was $20) on Amazon
This Kershaw pocket knife features a 2.75-inch reverse tanto blade that can make quick work of a wide range of cutting tasks, from slicing up boxes to cutting rope and more. It’s easy to deploy—you can open the blade with just one hand—and a liner lock keeps it firmly in place while you’re using it, preventing dangerous slips. A clip on the handle allows you to attach it to a belt or pocket, and the handle also has a lanyard hole, so you can keep the knife attached to a cord for added security. Better yet, the Appa is a very tidy package: It measures just 3.6 inches long when folded, and it weighs less than 2 ounces.
