A One-of-a-Kind, Limited Edition Shinola Knife

Two of the best names in gear—Shinola and Benchmade—join forces for a durable beauty of a pocket knife.

You may know the name Shinola best from their watches or even their bicycles, but this Detroit-bred label is aiming to conquer every piece of gear in your closet. They’ve teamed up with Oregon-based Benchmade to create the Custom 485 Valet Pocket Knife, and perhaps what makes it stand out the most is that no two are the same. The rugged Dymondwood handle has a distinct grain pattern unique to each knife, and the M390 steel blade means it’s tough enough for whatever hell you’ll put it through.



And: lefties—rejoice. The pocket clip on the 485 Valet is adjustable, so you can move it to either side for ease of use that accommodates each and every buyer. $200, shinola.com
