Studio Neat, those masterminds behind our favorite pens, just dropped something after two years in the making: Keen, their new utility knife. This isn’t your average flimsy box cutter with precision-machined stainless steel coated in Cerakote. It is built to literally last a lifetime (and backed by a guarantee).
In addition to durability, Keen features an incredibly satisfying magnetic, spring-loaded deployment mechanism that’s almost a fidget toy in itself. It’s deceptively thin and compact, yet feels solid in hand. Plus, it’s packed with smart details: no tools needed for blade changes, ambidextrous use, and an internal magnet lets you stick it on your fridge for quick access. Kickstarter backers are already raving about its quality, ease of use, and satisfying feel.
Keen is available here in standard colors, including a slick new Rose Gold. If you’re looking to upgrade your everyday carry with a utility blade that’s as beautiful as it is functional, Studio Neat might have just made their finest product yet.
