The Kershaw Fringe is out of the mainstream and anything but boring. With its gray titanium carbo-nitride coating on both blade and handle, as well as an attention-getting carbon-fiber insert, the Fringe is an attractive EDC. The handle has been slimmed, making it extra easy to carry; a deep-carry pocketclip enables it to ride comfortably low in the pocket.

• The Fringe offers a unique look at an outstanding price
• 8Cr13MoV top-quality steel offers high-performance edge holding, resharpens easily
• Contoured steel handle with carbon fiber front insert is comfortable and attractive
• Kershaw's assisted opening makes it fast and easy to open one-handed
