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.

Brand recognition

Even if you’ve never worn a watch in your entire life, you know the Rolex name and its status as an internationally renowned luxury brand. Although Audemars Piguet (also known as AP) is not as well known outside of industry circles, the truth is that many consider it to be an even better brand than Rolex, and its exclusivity gives it special status amongst watch enthusiasts.

An eco-friendly G-Shock timepiece
G-Shock G-5600BG-5

G-shock moves to a new eco-friendly material with the G-5600BG-5, which also stands out due to its white and beige aesthetic. The outer casing and strap are manufactured from recycled resin. While the recycled material has a white hue, it is accentuated by small black spots distributed throughout the casing.

The brand breaks down the recycled material into powder form and then blends it with a beige base. Every watch is unique in some way and highlighted by a certain pattern. Apart from the casing, the watch aligns with the eco-friendly objective thanks to its solar-powered mechanism, which can draw energy from both outdoor and indoor environments. Like other G-shock models, this watch has a rugged aesthetic that complements the casing’s white hue.
