Quality Aesthetics, Perfect Performance

The humble pocket knife is a cornerstone piece of any man’s EDC lineup so it’s important that you opt for something with a bit of gravitas to it that is capable of backing up its performance and that’s exactly what you get with the Rook Knife from Craighill. Pocket knives have always possessed some magical, gravitational power in the world for men and that’s more true than ever as EDC becomes more and more important. From the time that we’re old enough to understand their value as useful, beautiful, dangerous tools, they hold us in their grip, beckoning to be picked up and wielded.

The Rook Knife from Craighill (from $130) is a fine example of why this type of tool is so powerful and alluring and the design aesthetic and materials used are both second to none. This impressive piece of EDC is the culmination of more than two years of design and prototyping and it shows in the quality of the finished product. The Rook Knife is a frame lock folding knife with S35VN blade steel, a drop point blade, and a flipper mechanism for easy one-handed opening. Crafted entirely from metal, it’s slimmer than most folding knives on the market, but with a much greater density and heft.

Regardless of whether you opt for the Stainless Steel or Tricolor version, you’ll be getting a standout pocket knife to add to your line up of gear. The Tricolor version features a body that’s half brass-half stainless, and a blade that’s black PVD coated for a hint of tactical precision. A nod to the classic Craighill color/material palette, it’s an unusual blend that works shockingly well. The Stainless version is monochromatic and beautifully reflective, with the unified materiality highlighting the nuances of the overall form. An essential addition to any man’s lineup who is serious about their EDC.
