Trending this week is the Jesper Voxnaes-designed workhorse of a knife, the CRKT Batum. Its no-frills, utility-driven design puts durability and ergonomics at the forefront. 

Its well-sized 8Cr13MoV plain edge blade deploys via a thumb hole, locking into its stainless steel frame for hard use. A flat grind, drop point geometry and large belly give it excellent slicing capability and lots of room to work with, making for a versatile everyday knife. 

Two finger choils and a longer handle with light yet durable G10 scales provide the comfort and grip you need for getting through tough tasks and long projects too. 

Last but not least, an included pocket clip on the Batum's stainless steel handle ensures it's at the ready to take on your next cutting task. You can pick one up for under 40 bucks at the link below.
