Pocket knives can be one of the most versatile tools in your EDC, but local laws can sometimes be a little strict. Quiet Carry, the company that brought us the Mini Q Key organizer, has a new Kickstarter campaign for two stealthy pocket knives: The West for those who can’t carry locking blades, and the Strand for those who can.
The West has a 2.5” non-locking blade built into a sleek body. For a better grip, there’s a small notch thoughtfully placed halfway down the handle for your middle finger. A strong spring holds it in the open position to ensure that the blade won’t close during use. And at only 1.9 oz, you’ll find that the West is a great pocket knife for the urban EDCer.
If slip joints aren’t your thing (or if knife laws are in your favor), the larger Strand knife is worth a look. It shares the same slick aesthetic as the West, but with a larger handle and 2.8″ frame-locking blade. The Strand features two thumb studs and an easy lock bar release for one handed operation. For optimal comfort, the finger notch lies at the top of the handle—ideal placement for your index finger.
Both models are made of Grade 5 Titanium and have a pocket clip incorporated into the handle, making them great for EDC. The campaign has already been funded so if you want to secure one of these knives for yourself, make sure to follow the link below.
