Eight New Gadgets This Week, From a $49.95 Folder to a Meteorite GMT

This week's releases cover a lot of ground, from a $49.95 pocket knife to a $1,449 watch with a meteorite dial. Two knives, a modular multitool, two watches, a travel charger, a headphone stand and a stackable cup all stood out. Here's what each one does and who it's for.

Two knives with different jobs

The Flytanium Pork Chop, at $49.95, is the most practical pick here for everyday carry. Its 2.4-inch modified sheepsfoot blade is 14C28N stainless, a steel that sharpens easily and resists rust, set in contoured G-10 scales over nested steel liners. The ambidextrous crossbar lock works the same way from either hand. Flytanium puts the closed knife at 5.8 inches and 3.1 ounces, with a reversible deep-carry clip. Five colors are available at $49.95, and an S90V blade upgrade runs $69.95.

GiantMouse's Butcher Knife sits at the other end of the scale, at $215. It's a kitchen knife with a 9.33-inch Nitro B blade and a deep belly, designed for long slicing strokes through brisket and primal cuts. The full-tang build has a satin finish and a green canvas Micarta handle. Overall length is 14.08 inches, weight is 8 ounces, and the edge leaves Maniago, Italy at 17 degrees. Care is hand wash only. A red G10 handle version costs $225. GiantMouse built its reputation on folding knives designed with Jens Ansø and Jesper Voxnaes, and the Butcher carries that same approach to the cutting board.

A multitool you can reconfigure

Most multitools lock you into whatever loadout the factory chose. The Roxon Flex Go treats its tools more like cartridges. Eight slots accept swappable frames from Roxon's Flex system, and the catalog includes more than 40 add-on tools, so you can keep the pliers beside the tools you actually use. The pre-installed build at $69.99 includes needle-nose and regular pliers, wire cutters, a DIN 1.4116 blade, scissors, an awl, openers, a diamond file, a double-ended bit driver, a toothpick and tweezers. It closes to 3.46 inches and weighs 6.12 ounces. A frame-only version sells for $48. The appeal depends on how often you'd swap tools; if you rarely change the set, a fixed multitool might suit you better.

Two watches, two price points

The Jack Mason Strat-o-timer GMT Triton Meteorite is the watch I'd stop scrolling for. A slice of Muonionalusta meteorite forms the dial, cut and tinted icy blue, so each watch in the run has its own pattern. Under the dial is Miyota's 9075, a flyer GMT with a jumping hour hand. Jack Mason says each movement is regulated in house to within plus or minus five seconds a day. The case measures 40mm across and 13.2mm thick, with a 48-click ceramic Pepsi bezel, sapphire crystals front and back, 200 meters of water resistance and Super-LumiNova BGW9 on the hands and markers. Jack Mason says it assembles and regulates each watch in the USA. Pre-orders at $1,449 are set to ship the week of November 16.

The Kuoe Royal Smith 90-006 takes a different route, at $990. It's the first watch from Kuoe to put Roman numerals on the dial, and it's built around Miyota's new Caliber 9085. That automatic movement runs about 80 hours on a full wind, has Geneva stripes on its rotor, and drives plume hands with a heat-blued seconds hand. The two-layer dial comes in Ivory, Blue and Green, in 35mm and 39mm cases on Italian leather straps. Kuoe sells it only through its own store, with pre-orders estimated to ship from February 2027. An 80-hour reserve in a dress watch at this price is the detail that stood out to me.

Desk and travel gear

The Twelve South CableSnap 65W, at $49.99, builds the cable into the charger. A flat USB-C lead extends to 29 inches on a spring-loaded reel and retracts when you're done, and the body still has room for extra USB-C and USB-A ports. Output is 65W shared across everything plugged in, with the USB-A port capped at 18W, so a laptop, tablet and phone can share one outlet. UK Type G and EU Type C adapters are in the box, the US plug folds flat, and colors are Dune, Coastal and Slate.

Audioengine has made desktop speakers for two decades, and the $59 Headphone Stand is its first accessory for the other half of a desk setup. It's solid walnut, matched to the finish of the company's speaker cabinets, with a hollow rectangular shape and rounded edges. The open form keeps a pair of over-ears visible rather than buried in a drawer, and the footprint suits a desk corner beside A2+ or HD6 speakers. It's in stock now at Audioengine.

YETI's 16 oz Rambler Stackable Cup, at $33, keeps the brand's 18/8 stainless steel and double-wall vacuum insulation, but reshapes the body so cups nest. The tapered base still fits standard cupholders, and YETI says a set of four stores in roughly the space of two. A color-matched MagSlider lid comes standard. YETI describes the slider as splash resistant rather than leakproof, so this is a desk and camp cup rather than a gym-bag bottle. It's dishwasher safe, weighs 0.48 pounds and carries a five-year warranty.

For most people at these prices, the Pork Chop and the Flex Go are the easy calls. The Triton is the release with the most personality, and the CableSnap is the charger many travel bags have been missing.
