These spy cufflinks are the best chance everyday men have at imitating [James Bond](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/james-bond-2024-advent). Let’s be realistic, you likely won’t be able afford the car with the really cool lasers and probably can’t land the model rocket scientist and model supervillian in the same day. These epic fashion accessories will just have to do—at least for now.

I’ve come across some fairly bodacious fashion accessories during my time as a writer for Trend Hunter, but these spy cufflinks might just take the cake. The cufflinks are made up of [butterfly knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttix) and they look very smart. Don’t let the word butterfly fool you though; there is nothing pretty and fragile about these. They are the perfect man accessory to complete your tux outfit.
