EDC: Northwoods Presidential

If ever there was a knife that typifies "Sunday-go-to-meeting," it's our brand-new Northwoods Presidential.

Because this is Sunday, it's classy, of course. And it's slim -- really slim.

Made exclusively for us by Great Eastern, the Presidential is perhaps the ideal "gentleman's pocketknife." It's the kind of two-blade slipjoint you remember your granddad pulling from his vest pocket to clip a stray thread or cut the roots from a wild onion.

The blades -- a general-purpose spear and a wharncliffe for more precise work -- are 1095 carbon steel, easy-to-maintain and quite useful.
