everybody Nikia and today i got a quick review for you of what is actually the knife slash multi-tool I that I think's been in my possession longest I think I've had this guy for maybe fifteen possibly even twenty years and so you know it's not something I carry very often but I found that recently and I think if you know what what the heck let me put out a review actually they're still making these guys they got a couple of revisions and I'll talk about that here and there but it's still the same old thing so you know if you're interested you can still pick one up so let's go ahead and first do a quick tool overview you got a toothpick here you've got a set of tweezers right here although they're lost in the sands of time or less over here you have a Phillips head I'm sorry a a flathead screwdriver as well as a can opener and this thing is kind of a sharp sort of thing which is meant to I think puncture I can something like that that's also a reasonably competent poking tool sort of thing I hear you got yourself a magnifying glass let's see if it works indeed that's magnifying that penny and you got yourself a compass and just for reference all throughout this review that direction is due east so you'll see that it kind of goes in and out of compass mmus and then finally you got yourself a knife with a random hole in it so let's just go on ahead and go into the good the bad and the ugly of your through logic of the credit card companion so the good here is the form factor um because it's an interesting and it's a different thing I mean in a lot of ways it's trying to replace your kind of standard Swiss Army knife and it's got some of the same tools it's got your tooth pick it's got your tweezers it's got your bottle opener type of thing and it's got a knife on there um and it's supposed to add a couple of other things in there but it's much easier to just stick someplace form factor especially than your larger Swiss Army knives this little guy you can just pass anywhere but any a bigger ones take up a little more space so that's the good thing basically is that it puts a fair amount of tool in a relatively small amount of space here oh and there's a ruler on the back I forgot about that um but anyways so I you know I really hate to say it and I mean the knife does cut things that's that's good and it's got some serrations which you know I don't then do advocate the serrations but in a situation like this it's nice because even when the rest of the knife namely this portion here goes though the serrations are still gonna be sharp so that's generally a good thing um so yeah and then it's got these nice little things that remind you of what goes where but that's not really a major concern and it's kind of lanyard hole as you can tell I'm gonna push in here to find something really excellent yeah I think I'm at a good all right let's move on to the bed a couple of bad things here um first and foremost the compass is erratic at best um as you can see here that there is actually quite literally nothing going on this table is plastic the nearest metal object is a caliper which is over here and you know even still it's not accurately telling me what the direction is and if I turn it around oh it's kind of self adjusting I guess um but you know this compass is simply not to be trusted um the magnifying glass works just fine although it's a little bit awkward because it tends to block the light from whatever you're trying to magnify uh this little tool is okay but it's very very easy as you're trying to use the screwdriver to dig this tip into whatever it is you're screwing on and that's just no good because this is actually reasonably sharp and it can put a decent scratch in something that you're putting a screw into and so that was kind of a poor idea um the bottle opener works fine I guess but every time you use it it it builds this little guy a little bit which is again just a little bit of a tool issue they should have thought the design that a little better um the knife is serrated throughout which I just called the kind of a good thing because it's not gonna get dull as quickly but it's also kind of a bad thing because it doesn't make the same kinds of clean cuts that you really want in an EDC folder um and the serrations aren't really terribly deep either um and so that's not that great um and then finally the other bad thing here that's not ugly is that the tools are fairly easy to lose because they just kind of pop in and out I mean if you've actually got this in your wallet or something they're not going anywhere but it's very very easy to you know completely lose track of the knife whereas that's not the case in a multi cool where the knife is attached so that's another thing you got to keep in mind and that's true many of these credit card type things so that's something to keep in mind that is your bad let's just go into the ugly here okay two really ugly things first is the blade steel the steel on this blade is just stainless that's as detailed as they get I believe even for them the one and what that means is that it's just bad and it really really is it's very soft and it's also it doesn't really take a very good edge so I've just got a piece of envelope paper here and I'm gonna try and I did actually attempt to put an edge on this I didn't try to do the full mirror edge and I wasn't gonna try and sharpen out the serrations but I did do my best to kind of get everything back up to spec and it's just tear in here I mean I can kinda make a cut and with the serrations you can do a little bit better because you're really ripping at the paper but it's just no good and I can with a good steel like the co-sleep buoy here I can make a very nice edge that's not my problem here um it's just that the steel is really sucky and that's just no good because it's a knife that's never going to be a sharp knife and if you've got a knife with you you just want it to be sharp because a sharp knife is a useful knife so that's one thing the other issue with this is the thickness um they call this the credit card companion and it is true that it is about the size of a credit card or a business card I'm not gonna put a credit card on screen here because identity identity thieves have a good enough time of it already but thickness wise it is a actual credit card is about this thick and the credit card companion is about that thick so it is big or at least the beeping this is my wallet it is currently empty because again sorry identity thieves but you can't actually fit this into a wallet so long as you don't really have anything else in it I mean this is pretty ridiculous so it's probably the thickness of three or four credit cards as is so if you're already carrying to make the Seinfeld reference Costanza wallet you're you're gonna be okay but this is really not something you want to just toss in the wallet and forget about it it's real oh man I'll just for the size of a credit card I'll have a knife enough but unfortunately it's thicker than that and so that's kind of the other ugly thing is that it's not really credit card size except in the academic sense so what's the final verdict here the final verdict honestly is just now because if you want something that does this your best serve to just use your wallet for you know cards and whatnot and to throw like a Swiss Army knife in your pocket because the Swiss Army knife guaranteed will have a better blade on it that you can actually maintain in a reasonable way um you will get tweezers you will get a toothpick you will get a can opener with a larger size Swiss Army knife and you'll get a little screwdriver kind of thing and you won't get the magnifying glass unless you go to certain models but nonetheless you will end up with a wallet that you do not hate because it is not heavy and well really really absurdly thick and you'll end up with a more functional tool anyways so this is a fun idea this is something that appeals a great deal to young Nick cuz it's like oh my god it's all there um but alas I just don't see it so this is gonna be a no-go and the instead of a gem I'm gonna go ahead and call this one junk but funnest I'll just say it sticks around and yeah there you go so I hope this was at least slightly interesting to you and have yourselves a wonderful rest of the day
