The James Brand updates its compact Elko knife with refinements based on previous models. The design features a smaller profile, improved grip pattern, and a more ergonomic shape for better control.

Focused on portability and straightforward utility The James Brand designed the Elko for keychain carry and EDC loadouts. Whether it's your primary tool or a backup, its size and form transitions easily from outdoor use to daily carry.

Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap

Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

Batch Micro Mints

Microdosing gets a cleaner, more controlled format with Batch Micro Mints, a hemp-derived THC option designed for subtle, stackable effects. Each sugar-free mint delivers 1mg THC and 1mg CBD, letting you dial in the experience one piece at a time instead of committing to a full edible. The full-spectrum formula leans into balance, while a fast-acting onset of around 15 to 30 minutes makes it more predictable than most gummies. Housed in a slim, pocket-friendly tin that looks like standard breath mints, they're discreet enough for everyday carry and built with a clean ingredient profile free of gluten, dairy, soy, and seed oils. It's a measured approach to THC that favors control, portability, and a lighter lift.
