Black Friday EDC Deals 2025: Multi-Tools, Flashlights, Knives and More

Introduction

Early Black Friday sales have arrived, and there is genuinely useful EDC gear already discounted. But before anything else: take a breath. Most of these deals will still be there in a week, and a few listed as “Black Friday sales” have not actually changed price at all. Very few items on this list are truly last-call, and this guide flags the ones that are.

How to Shop These Deals

Two things are worth knowing before you buy. First, some products carry a sale label even though the price was identical the day before, so it pays to check price history. Second, one manufacturer’s gear is actually a better deal directly from the brand’s own store than on Amazon, because the official store rewards you with loyalty tiers, coupons, and a free product for signing up. We flag that case below.

Leatherman Deals Worth Acting On

Leatherman discontinued four models this year: the Free P2, the Charge Plus, the Charge Plus TTI, and the Free P4. That makes these deals more interesting than a simple discount, because once stock is gone, it is gone.

Leatherman Free P2

The Free P2 is currently $80, which is $50 below its normal price. It is a compact variation of Leatherman’s one-handed opening platform, with scissors on the outside and a partially serrated blade with a nice hollow grind that cuts surprisingly well. It is better than it was initially given credit for, and it carries the USA stamp, something very few Leatherman tools have today. After the P2 and P4, only the Leatherman Arc still carries that stamp. If you have ever wanted a legally American-made Leatherman multi-tool, this is a very good value and probably not one to wait on until the next major sale season.

Leatherman Charge Plus TTI

The Charge Plus TTI is also discontinued, so current stock may be your last realistic chance to buy one. It sits in Leatherman’s premium tier, and there is a quiet long-term advantage here: the brand’s warranty, typically quoted between 25 and 40 years depending on the situation, covers discontinued tools too. If you ever need a warranty replacement and none of this tier remain in stock, Leatherman has to substitute a tool from the same tier, which currently points to the Wave Alpha. Buying a discontinued premium tool now can quietly future-proof a decade of ownership.

Leatherman Charge Plus

The Charge Plus is not on sale at $160, but it comes with more in the box than the Wave line: a sheath, a six-bit bit kit, a pocket clip, and a lanyard ring. Factoring in those extras, it effectively costs less than the Wave Plus while including roughly $40 of added value. The same warranty-replacement logic applies as with the TTI: if it is ever replaced under warranty after being discontinued, the same-tier substitute would be the Wave Alpha. Even if you shop elsewhere, this is a configuration worth comparing carefully.

Leatherman Wave Alpha

The Wave Alpha is the new premium-tier tool that showcases where the lineup is heading. There will be plenty of opportunities to buy it, on sale if not now, before the next Black Friday season in 2026. Unlike the discontinued Charge models, there is no urgency here, but it is worth knowing as the tool you would likely receive on any warranty claim for the older premium tier.

Flashlight Deals

Flashlights are one of the strongest value categories in this sale window, with a few genuinely feature-dense options discounted.

Wuben X4

The Wuben X4 is listed as a Black Friday sale at $38 to $39, though that price had been the same the day before. Even so, it is a good purchase for the money. It has a true tactical tail switch, continuously adjustable output, an IPX8 waterproof rating, over 10,000 candela of maximum power, side lights, and a magnetic tail. Even the pocket clip orientation is done right, letting you use it hands-free clipped to a hat brim.

Olight Ark Pro

The Ark Pro sells for the same price on Amazon as it does on Olight’s own website, but buying it on Amazon means leaving value on the table. Purchases made with a logged-in account on Olight’s website build toward reward tiers that unlock discounts and coupons, and simply signing up for the first time comes with perks like a free flashlight. If the Ark Pro is on your list, buy it from Olight directly.

Rovyvon E80

The E80 is the current favorite and is on sale right now. It has a true tactical tail switch, and its output and candela ratings appear to be understated, with independent testing showing it running three to four times brighter than claimed. It also packs high-CRI warm white side lights plus a laser and UV in the front, making it something like a multi-tool in flashlight form.

Folding Knife Deals

If you are going to take your time on any category this season, make it folding knives. Good options go on sale constantly, so there is little risk in waiting unless something unusual appears.

Cold Steel Airlite

The Airlite is a no-frills yet compact Cold Steel folder that still carries all the signature details. It is one of the last designs Andrew Demko worked on before leaving the brand, and it shows: excellent fit and finish, tightly controlled quality, genuinely grippy G10 scales, and a thin profile backed by the very strong Tri-Ad lock. The 10A steel is a pleasant user steel, making this a solid workhorse under $50.

Cold Steel Voyager

The Voyager is the bigger option of the two Cold Steel picks, and it is also on sale and under $50. If you prefer more blade for the money, it is the one to look at first.

Watches and Small Everyday Carry Deals

A few miscellaneous items round out the sale list nicely, and one of them is a genuine standout.

Addiesdive Dive Watch

This dive watch is currently under $50, which is remarkable for what you get: a reliable quartz movement, 200 meters of water resistance, a dial with genuinely good action on the bezel, and an all-stainless case and band. Watch reviewers have given it a thumbs up as an homage in the dive-watch genre, and it makes a strong kickaround watch for people who would otherwise not justify the real thing.

Victorinox Jet Setter

The Jet Setter is one of the easiest keychain tool recommendations there is. It can quite literally go on anyone’s keychain, from age six to 106, and nearly anyone can find a use for it. At under $20, the current discount makes it an easy impulse-grade add-on.

Overall Buying Advice

Most of these deals are not going anywhere, so prioritize the truly time-sensitive items first. The discontinued Leatherman Free P2, Charge Plus TTI, and Charge Plus are the ones where waiting carries real risk, with the P2 at $80 being the standout value of the entire sale. Everything else, including the flashlights and folding knives, rewards patience: check the actual price history, compare the official brand store where relevant, and give yourself a few days before committing. If something sells out, it simply was not meant to be. More deals will arrive throughout the season.

Conclusion

This early sale window rewards a specific kind of shopper: one who knows which items are genuinely disappearing and which are just wearing a sale label. The discontinued Leatherman models are the clear last-call picks, the Wuben X4 and Rovyvon E80 offer the best flashlight value, and the Cold Steel folders and Addiesdive dive watch round out a strong list of affordable everyday carry upgrades. Take your time, do your research, and buy only what you would want at full price anyway.
