Channel James Bond With These Butterfly Knife Cufflinks

For those of you who have ever dreamed of dressing like James Bond, these butterfly knife cufflinks might just do the trick. Constructed of stainless steel and measuring in at 1 inch when closed and 1.5 inches open, these cufflinks merge function with style — if you’re in search for the type of function that a member of the fictional British Secret Service that writer Ian Fleming conceived of when writing the iconic James Bond novels.

When the butterfly knife cufflinks are closed, they look like a standard pair of cool cufflinks. If danger approaches you — or if you need a tiny tool to unscrew something, cut up a miniature steak or poke someone’s eye out — simply flip open the cufflinks and out pops a mini blade. They even come with a sharpener so your cufflinks will never get dull. They’re just the kind of men’s accessory you need to show off to a date or to impress your friends. Unfortunately, unlike their larger counterparts, you can’t do any crazy knife tricks with these butterfly knives. But hey, it’s not like you can wear a real butterfly knife either.

Recreate the viral red carpet look
Timothee Chalamet bust

There are few names that are trending upward in Hollywood more than Timothee Chalamet. He is one of the most lauded actors in big blockbusters like Dune and its sequel, Interstellar, and Wonka, and he is also taking the world by storm with incredible performances in more reward-focused films like Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. Recently, he made splashes this award season for his true story biopic of Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown. While we loved his nominations, awards, and speeches, we would be lying if we didn't get distracted by his stellar red carpet looks. Not only are we excited about his stellar look at the Academy Awards nomination dinner from GapStudio, but now you can recreate it with a limited edition recreation from on GAP.

While most men love to adopt the all-black look for evening dinner events, Chalamet elected to go with a more dressed-down look, more closely resembling something fitting for his Bob Dylan role.
