Outbyte Driver Updater FREEScan for outdated or missing drivers - takes under a minuteDriver Scan →Outbyte PC Repair FREEClear out junk files and repair common Windows errorsFree Scan →This week’s roundup names eight products if Benchmade’s two Kitsari variants are counted separately: releases from Spyderco, Tsuchioto Works, Edge Craft Japan, WE Knife, Benchmade and Orioner. The source groups the Kitsaris in one section, so it has seven product blocks rather than eight. Its most detailed entry is Orioner’s compact, gravity-action MS-08 utility knife; the available article text does not support a hands-on comparison or performance ranking of the full lineup.
Eight products, grouped into seven entries
Gear Patrol’s page, titled “8 New Knives and Multi-Tools You Might Have Missed This Week,” was marked as published three hours before it was accessed on October 3, 2026. Its URL slug describes “7 New Knives and Multi-Tools,” and the body has seven headed or numbered blocks. The difference is the two Kitsari model numbers grouped together below.
Spyderco Magpie Black Blade
The roundup names the Spyderco Magpie Black Blade. The accessible article text does not establish further specifications for this model.
Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt CPM MagnaCut
The roundup names the Spyderco Para Military 2 Lightweight Salt CPM MagnaCut. The model name identifies its stated steel, but the available text does not provide a fuller specification set or basis for comparison.

The Orioner MS-08 is described as a compact, key-sized utility knife with gravity-action deployment.

Those details describe its format and intended use, not independently tested performance.
Gear Patrol’s page showed a Kickstarter price callout of $39, crossed out from $60 and labeled 35% off. That is a campaign price, not a dependable current retail price: check the campaign status, availability and terms before relying on it.

What this roundup can—and cannot—tell you
The page is a release roundup, not a documented comparative test. It names products, but gives uneven detail; the MS-08 receives the clearest operational description. There is not enough consistent information to rank all eight by blade steel, mechanism, dimensions, carry comfort, price or performance. Treat unreported attributes as unknown rather than inferring them from model names.
Before choosing any of these products, verify the exact model variant and current manufacturer or retailer listing. Specifications, campaign terms, regional availability and limited-release stock can change, and the roundup’s publication timing does not establish what remains available now.

Other recent releases reported separately
Two other reports provide nearby release context, but their products are not thereby part of Gear Patrol’s exact-title roundup. Smoky Mountain Knife Works’ October 2, 2026 roundup covered Case’s Crossroads Orange & Gray XR Barlow, Halloween-themed Kizer folders and Victorinox variants, and Benchmade Claymore and Mini Claymore configurations. Its section titled “SMKW Exclusive Strangelove Tinker” appears to be followed by copy about a Kizer pumpkin Madrac, so do not rely on that subsection for the Tinker’s specifications without checking the product listing.
T3 reported on September 30, 2026 that Leatherman introduced three seasonal Micra colors: Ginger Peach, Cardamom and North Star. The report describes the Micra as an established 10-tool mini multi-tool, making the news a color refresh rather than an entirely new design. It listed U.S., U.K. and EU prices of $49.95, £54.95 and €59, respectively, and said the colors were available through Leatherman’s regional stores at publication. Those are dated regional prices and availability, not a guarantee of current stock or price.
