What Is Bushcrafting?

Best Dive Watches Under $500

These kinds of list articles are always subjective, but here’s the difference: I’ve had the chance to actually handle hundreds of watches over the past few years. Between brands sending me pieces for Instagram, swapping and trying watches at meet-ups, and feeding my own borderline obsession, I’ve put serious wrist time into more divers than I care to admit.

I went with the all-black titanium version because it looked slick in the pictures, but in my head it was destined to be just another small, lightweight dress knife — nice to handle, forgettable in the pocket, and not something I’d reach for when I needed a real cutter. But after carrying it, sharpening it, and pushing it through a variety of daily tasks, I’ll admit it: this little knife has teeth. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot more capable than its size suggests.
