Ok… the title for this post is a little misleading. This post is not about Swiss Army knives, nor will it teach you to make your own… however, it will come very close.

The Problem:
Everyone agrees there is utility in a Swiss Army Knife or a Multitool such as a Leatherman or a Gerber Multiplier. What most people will not agree on are the tools that should be included, or omitted in their everyday multitool. Since there is no single configuration of tools that will conform to everyone’s liking, yet still fit conveniently on your person… wouldn’t it be great if your multitool was modular? (a.k.a. configurable?)

Adjustable Multi-tool - the Switch


The Solution:
Thanks to a Social Product Development company, (Perfectly named Quirky) a modular multitool has been discussed, designed, developed and is now destined to delight many a multi-tool devotee (I’ll stop with the alliteration)…

With 18 tool attachments (see details below) and three different axle assemblies, the more discerning multitool user should be able to find the right “grouping” of tools for any occasion. What’s more, the tool can be changed at will using a U.S. Quarter.

Specs
18 tool attachments: Standard Knife, Pliers, Scissors, Nail File, Tweezers, Thin Flathead Screwdriver, Phillips-Head Screwdriver, Eyeglass Phillips-Head Screwdriver, Eyeglass Flathead Screwdriver, Wood Saw, Serrated Blade, Corkscrew, Combination Bottle Opener/Flathead Screwdriver, Combination Can Opener/Wire Stripper, Pen, Magnifying Glass, LED Flashlight, 1GB USB Memory Stick.

Be the envy of your friends, carry the most unique Mutli-tool available today

Excerpt from MarineCorpTimes article: (full article is linked below)

“In the field, when you are dressing game, that edge doesn’t hold up well or cut as long … as a slightly toothier edge will,” says Kevin McClung, owner of Mad Dog Knives.

Also known as a working edge, it feels slightly coarser than a factory edge. It’s more durable and easier to resharpen.

McClung’s fixed-blade knives are handmade from extremely tough, high-carbon O1 grade tool steel. Mad Dog Knives range from $700 to $1,300 each and are highly respected in special operations circles.

However, most soldiers and Marines buy well-respected but more-affordable brands such as Benchmade, Emerson, Gerber and Spyderco, which cost $100-$300 and are made with highly durable stainless steels such as 154CM and CMP S30V.

Regardless of the brand name, all knives should be sharpened the same way — with sharpening stones and proper technique, experts say. Sounds simple, but the market is flooded with options — some good, some garbage.

According to CamillusKnives.com – Camillus Knives are back. Our earlier post from 2007 reported the closing of this well known knife manufacturer. As to whether or not the new production knives will meet the same standards by which their previous knives were known, will remain to be seen – but we are hopeful. Below is a screenshot of the company website as it exists on 4/19/2010.

Visitors can add their email address to Camillus’ Database to be updated when the new knives become readily available. We at TheKnifeWarehouse.com are excited about the prospect of carrying Camillus Knives once again.

Benchmade Logo



According to this recent press release put out by Benchmade, the Oregon company has decided to open a retail space at their current headquarters in Oregon City, OR. Sweet – too bad we’re 1,400 miles away!

They plan to sell knives at full retail while offering discontinued items you will have a difficult time finding anywhere else. Wouldn’t it be great if Benchmade took the approach Krispy Kreme took and offered free knives hot off the line just for visiting? I know… I’m comparing donuts to knives… but you know you smiled.

If you are fortunate enough to visit opening day (January 15th) or shortly thereafter, send us your comments; photos and videos – even better!.

Though we can no longer refer to the E.T. from Kershaw as “new” – we can refer to its unique design as new to the industry. It won Blade Magazine’s “Most innovative American Design” in 2005. Why are we writing about it now? Kershaw has supplied us with a nice little animation of the E.T. opening – we’ve included it below. If you haven’t seen it, here is your chance at the next best thing to seeing the Kershaw E.T. knife in person.
