Something as well-conceived as a pocket knife should not be relegated only to pockets. The Batard Folding Picnic Knife (2002) takes the iconic design to the outdoor world. The sharp serrated blade effortlessly slices crusty bread, hard cheeses, salami, even a roasted chicken. Adding to its functionality (depending on your preferred type of picnic) is a corkscrew. Made from stainless steel with a walnut handle, the Batard Folding Knife goes from patio to picnic, pool side to campsite. The word “Batard,” in this case refers not to the French pejorative for an illegitimate child, but instead to a type of baguette. Shorter and fatter than traditional baguettes, a batard is ideal for sandwiches – and long days spent lounging on a blanket in the park.
