I love peeling an apple with my pocket knife because it makes me feel like a villain — and you can save 30% on the best pocket knives this Prime Day

Tom's Guide10-07-2025
This year's Amazon Prime Day sales are almost wrapping up as we near the finish line, so now is (almost) your last chance to save big on your favorite tech and outdoor gear. I don't know about you but I've always enjoyed watching villains use a slick pocket knife to peel an apple or slice open an envelope. You're in the right place if you feel the same way, as I've rounded up the best Prime Day pocket knife deals for you.
Whether you're looking for a simple pocket knife or a multitool that includes everything you'll ever need, I've got you covered. My favorite deal is on the WORKPRO 11-in-1 multitool which is currently down to just $14 at Amazon.
Or if you want a premium knife from the likes of Leatherman, the Leatherman Free T2 Multitool is currently 25% off which is fantastic, bringing it down to just $37 from its retail price of $49.
There's more where that came from. Here are the best deals I've found on pocket knives and multitools from Leatherman, Kershaw, Gerber and more! And once you're done, don't forget to check out the freebies you can secure this week.
This multipurpose tool includes long and regular pliers, a wire cutter, a saw, a knife, a Phillips screwdriver, a slotted screwdriver, a wire stripper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and a carabiner. It's the perfect solution for all your daily needs A safety liner locking mechanism ensures the tools are locked away to prevent any hazardous mishaps. You can attach the included nylon sheath to your belt or bag too for easy transport.
Leatherman is a prominent name in the world of pocket knives and multitools, and I own a Leatherman pocket knife myself. You can pop open the Free T2 with just one hand, and it includes eight tools, from a 420HC knife and a bottle opener to a pry tool and a variety of screwdrivers. Also, it comes with a 25-year warranty!
You know what the Kershaw Olive Outright pocket knife reminds me of? The knife Rio Vidal uses in 'Agatha All Along.' It oozes class and a premium edge, and it looks like something an actor in a superhero movie would use. The steel blade delivers superior hardness, excellent edge retention, maximum slicing power and reliable strength, and it sports a stealthy look. The olive green colorway looks fantastic too.
Another classic from Leatherman, this is one of the pocket knives I own. It's highly portable, it folds down and locks into place, and it includes eight tools, such as a pry tool, bottle opener, screwdrivers and package opener. I love busting this bad boy out whenever I receive a package or need to slice open a simple envelope — makes me feel like a detective!
The Gerber Gear Dime 12-in-1 Multitool, as the name suggests, consists of 12 tools, including a plain edge blade pocket knife, scissors, small and medium flat head driver, fine and more. For tradesmen or those who spend a lot of time camping or outdoors, it is near-essential.

Amazon's Latest Prime Grocery Move Is a Big 'Shot' at the Competition

Key Takeaways Amazon said Wednesday that it is expanding same-day grocery delivery by adding dairy, meat, produce and other perishables. The move comes after the company said it is building out its same-day and next-day delivery network in smaller towns and rural areas. Shares of Instacart, DoorDash, Walmart and other major supermarkets fell. Amazon is rolling out full-service grocery delivery. The news quickly ricocheted through the market, hitting shares of a range of competitors. Beginning Wednesday, the retailer will offer same-day delivery on thousands of grocery items, including dairy, meat, seafood and produce, in 1,000 locations, it said in a press release. Amazon (AMZN) aims to extend the service to a total of 2,300 towns and cities by the end of 2025, the company said. 'We're continuously innovating to make grocery shopping simpler, faster, and more affordable for our customers,' Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, said in a statement. Amazon is waiving the delivery fee Prime members pay orders over $25. Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT) offer free same-day delivery to members when they spend $35 or more, according to their websites. (Amazon Prime members can get same-day delivery on smaller orders by paying $2.99, and all customers can access the service for $12.99, its press release said.) Amazon's announcement amounts to a 'shot heard 'round the warehouse,' Wedbush Securities wrote in a research note. The bank added that the move could weigh on delivery companies and retailers that have large grocery businesses. Shares of Grocery and Delivery Companies Sink Investors sold off shares of delivery and supermarket companies Wednesday. Instacart (CART) shares were recently down 12%, while DoorDash (DASH) shares fell some 5%, Kroger (KR) shares dropped 4%, Walmart and Albertsons Companies (ACI) shares dipped about 2%. 'Along comes Amazon with an existing nationwide network of fulfillment centers and delivery trucks, [and] seems to have finally figured out how to store and fulfill perishables in a way to support same-day efforts,' Wedbush analysts said. Amazon has struggled to break into the perishable space despite introducing a grocery-specific subscription option, analysts said. It also announced plans to offer same-day and next-day delivery in thousands of less populated areas, which Morgan Stanley described as seizing an opportunity to close the urban-rural gap in online food shopping. Amazon shares were recently up more than 1%.

Shopping for school supplies becomes a summer activity as families juggle technology and tariffs

Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Retail and technology consulting company Coresight Research estimates that back-to-school spending from June through August will reach $33.3 billion in the U.S., a 3.3% increase from the same three-month period a year ago. The company predicted families would complete about 60% of their shopping before August to avoid extra costs from tariffs. Advertisement 'Consumers are of the mindset where they're being very strategic and conscientious around price fluctuations, so for back to school, it prompts them to shop even earlier,' said Vivek Pandya, lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights, the research division of software company Adobe Inc. Getting a head start Miami resident Jacqueline Agudelo, 39, was one of the early birds who started shopping for school supplies in June because she wanted to get ahead of possible price increases from new U.S. tariffs on imported products. Advertisement The teacher's supply list for her 5-year-old son, who started kindergarten earlier this month, mandated specific classroom items in big quantities. Agudelo said her shopping list included 15 boxes of Crayola crayons, Lysol wipes and five boxes of Ticonderoga brand pencils, all sharpened. Agudelo said she spent $160 after finding plenty of bargains online and in stores, including the crayons at half off, but found the experience stressful. Kylie and Cash Zimmerman shop in the back-to-school supplies section of a Target in Sherwood, Ore., Friday, Aug. 8, 2025. Jenny Kane/Associated Press 'I am overwhelmed by the need to stay on top of where the deals are as shopping has become more expensive over the years,' she said. A lot of the backpacks, lined paper, glue sticks — and Ticonderoga pencils — sold in the U.S. are made in China, whose products were subjected to a 145% tariff in the spring. Under the latest agreement between the countries, Chinese goods are taxed at a 30% rate when they enter the U.S. Many companies accelerated shipments from China early in the year, stockpiling inventory at pre-tariff prices. Some predicted consumers would encounter higher prices just in time for the back-to-school shopping season. Although government data showed consumer prices rose 2.7% last month from a year earlier, strategic discounting by major retailers may have muted any sticker shock for customers seeking school supplies. Backpacks and lunchboxes, for example, had discounts as deep as 12.1% during Amazon's Prime Day sales and competing online sales at Target and Walmart in early July, Adobe Insights said. Throughout the summer, some of the biggest chains have are advertising selective price freezes to hold onto customers. Advertisement Walmart is advertising a 14-item school supplies deal that costs $16, the lowest price in six years, company spokesperson Leigh Stidham said. Target said in June that it would maintain its 2024 prices on 20 key back-to-school items that together cost less than $20. An analysis consumer data provider Numerator prepared for The Associated Press showed the retail cost of 48 products a family with two school age children might need — two lunchboxes, two scientific calculators, a pair of boy's shoes — averaged $272 in July, or $3 less than the same month last year. Digital natives in the classroom Numerator, which tracks U.S. retail prices through sales receipts, online account activity and other information from 200,000 shoppers, reported last year that households were buying fewer notebooks, book covers, writing instruments and other familiar staples as students did more of their work on computers. The transition does not mean students no longer have to stock up on plastic folders, highlighters and erasers, or that parents are spending less to equip their children for class. Accounting and consulting firm Deloitte estimates that traditional school supplies will account for more than $7 billion of the $31 billion it expects U.S. parents to put toward back-to-school shopping. Shopping habits also are evolving. TeacherLists, an online platform where individual schools and teachers can upload their recommended supply lists and parents can search for them, was launched in 2012 to reduce the need for paper lists. It now has more than 2 million lists from 70,000 schools. Users have the option of clicking on an icon that populates an online shopping cart at participating retail chains. Some retailers also license the data for use on their websites and in their stores, said Dyanne Griffin, the architect and vice president of TeacherLists. Advertisement The typical number of items teacher request has remained fairly steady at around 17 since the end of the coronavirus pandemic, Griffin said. 'The new items that had come on the list, you know, in the last four or five years are more the tech side. Everybody needs headphones or earbuds, that type of thing, maybe a mouse,' she said. She's also noticed a lot of schools requiring clear backpacks and pencil pouches so the gear can't be used to stow guns. Enter artificial intelligence For consumers who like to research their options before they buy, technology and retail companies have introduced generative AI tools to help them find and compare products. Rufus, the AI-powered shopping assistant that Amazon launched last year, is now joined by Sparky, an app-only feature that Walmart shoppers can use to get age-specific product recommendations and other information in response to their questions. Just over a quarter of U.S. adults say they use AI for shopping, which is considerably lower than the number who say they use AI for tasks such as searching for information or brainstorming, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll in July. Some traditions remain Before the pandemic turned a lot more people into online shoppers, schools and local Parent Teacher Associations embraced the idea of making back-to-school shopping easier by ordering ready-made bundles of teacher-recommended supplies. An extra fee on the price helped raise money for the school. Market data from Edukit, a supplier of school supply kits owned by TeachersList parent company School Family Media, shows that about 40% of parents end up buying the boxes, meaning the other 60% need to shop on their own, Griffin said. She noted that parents typically must commit no later than June to secure a bundle, which focus on essentials like notebooks and crayons. Advertisement Agudelo said her son's school offered a box for $190 that focused on basics like crayons and notebooks but didn't include a backpack. She decided to pass and shop around for the best prices. She also liked bringing her son along for the shopping trips. 'There's that sense of getting him mentally prepared for the school year,' Agudelo said. 'The box takes away from that.'
