Channel James Bond With These Butterfly Knife Cufflinks

For those of you who have ever dreamed of dressing like James Bond, these butterfly knife cufflinks might just do the trick. Constructed of stainless steel and measuring in at 1 inch when closed and 1.5 inches open, these cufflinks merge function with style — if you’re in search for the type of function that a member of the fictional British Secret Service that writer Ian Fleming conceived of when writing the iconic James Bond novels.

When the butterfly knife cufflinks are closed, they look like a standard pair of cool cufflinks. If danger approaches you — or if you need a tiny tool to unscrew something, cut up a miniature steak or poke someone’s eye out — simply flip open the cufflinks and out pops a mini blade. They even come with a sharpener so your cufflinks will never get dull. They’re just the kind of men’s accessory you need to show off to a date or to impress your friends. Unfortunately, unlike their larger counterparts, you can’t do any crazy knife tricks with these butterfly knives. But hey, it’s not like you can wear a real butterfly knife either.

Style hacks: Your suit should come with two pairs of pants
Remedy one of the biggest struggles with suits with this one hack
Man in Men's Wearhouse Blue Suit

When I first started selling suits, it was mostly to men who were leaving the military and starting as aides to politicians, or men working as doctors, lawyers, or accountants. Then, of course, you had the lucrative wedding business. But one thing was common among every man I sold suits to: They were hardworking and spent their days getting things done.

Now, while this sounds honorable and a fantastic way for a man to live life, working hard and providing for his family, there are some setbacks or some side effects to this lifestyle. One of them is the impact it has on your best suits. Suit pants for men are typically lighter, with an elevated fabric that doesn't always stand up to the more rigorous work of the hardest-working men. Therefore, there's a hack that you should start implementing in your suit shopping every chance you get. Every suit you own should come with a second pair of pants. It will save you years of heartache.
