For the man who sometimes has to get himself out of precarious circumstances, Alden offers a noble black lacquered Swiss Army knife to master those situations in a McGyver-esque manner. However, the knife’s pocket represents this set’s true particularity, as it is fashioned of genuine shell cordovan, which has been finished to a supple yet durable leather via a month-long process of tanning and hand finishing. As it is with good leather, this piece’s beauty will refine over years of use. Besides, the Army knife features a small key ring, scissors, cutting blade, file, toothpick, and tweezers.
