Wildcard is A Slim Multitool With A Detachable Blade

Posted on by

wildcard-1

Multitools on Kickstarter are just like wallets on Kickstarter: there are way too many! But every now and then one comes around that adds a little innovative twist and stands out. The Wildcard is yet another multitool stamped out of solid stainless steel, except this one features a fold-out serrated edge blade. Better yet, the blade is detachable so if you forget you’re carrying it at the airport, you can just surrender the blade and order a replacement, instead of having to ditch the whole thing. It’s also got a screwdriver, a prybar, and a bottle opener. The whole thing measures just 2mm thick and is credit card sized, so it’ll fit in your wallet easily. It’s a smart design, and definitely worth the $25 pledge necessary to secure one.

Predator’s Wrist Blades Forged in Real Life

Posted on by

It’s always awesome to watch the guys from Man at Arms:Reforged do their work. This time around they are recreating the Predator’s deadly gauntlet blades from Alien vs. Predator.

These guys are master weapon forgers, and they don’t disappoint here. They better not, because when you’re working for a Predator, you don’t live long if you disappoint. The team does a great job recreating the weapon, and the finished product looks pretty awesome and deadly.

You can see them test it out at the end of the video on watermelons and soda bottles and stuff. Pretty badass.

So There’s This: BloodRayne ArmBlade Replica

We can’t really think of anything useful you might want to do with the above ArmBlade, but that shouldn’t stop you from buying it. After all, if you only ever bought stuff that’s actually useful, you’d likely have a lot more money in your bank account. Measuring a healthy 17-3/8-inch long, the thing is made from one piece of hard-anodized black stainless steel. Along with the blade, you get all the other hardware needed to assemble it, including the grip and forearm strap. The best part, perhaps, is that you’ll have to pay all of $18 to own it. Which, all things considered, isn’t a whole bunch of money to spend on something not entirely useful.

This Gerber Money Clip Also Packs A Blade

We’re not exactly sure what sort of scenario would call for someone to be able to pull a blade out of their money clip, but that’s exactly what we’re looking at here with the Gerber 31-002521 GDC Money Clip. You can carry a couple of cards and bills on the one side, and a titanium nitride coated steel blade with a G10 front plate on the other. Measuring only 3.6 inches, it’s relatively discreet, while tipping the scales at a paltry 2.9 ounces. $30 and it’s yours.

Gerber’s Pocket Knife That Doesn’t Look Like A Knife At All

Posted on by

Carrying a cutting tool in your pocket can definitely be practical. Stuck upside down in your car after an accident? Cut the seat belt. Bear in a cage got you by the T-shirt? Cut that shirt to shreds. A pocket knife is great! What’s better? A sheathed knife that’s so stealthy it doesn’t even look like one at all. Gerber’s Daily Carry Hook Knife is a 2 inch stainless steel hook blade that fits securely around a finger, much like a ring. Press your thumb against “the thumb grip and you’ve got a solid hold that won’t budge when you put a bit of power behind a cut.” Don’t have an emergency, life-saving, knife-related situation? That’s ok, you can use the blade on envelopes, an annoying retail package or that box the UPS guy just dropped off. At $11, it’s a no-brainer.

These Are Some Awesome, Artful Knives

Logan Pearce is a third generation knife maker. His grandfather made a name for himself forging knives out of railroad spikes, and although Logan carries the tradition still, he also makes them out of everyday objects like wrenches, pieces of rebar, and even heavy duty bolts. Granted knifemaking isn’t exactly cutting edge tech (see what we did there?), we kind of like Logan’s work and think he deserves some attention. Not that he’s not getting any to start with as there is a 3 week waiting time for any new orders. With prices ranging from $20 to $350, you can own a handmade blade no matter what your budget is.

If you’re wondering why we like them so much, head on over after the break for more pictures.

Double amputee Oscar Pistorius will race in the London Olympic games

Double amputee Oscar Pistorius will race in the London Olympic games

Four years ago, double amputee Oscar Pistorius -- aka the Blade Runner -- was battling bureaucracy (and his own ability) for the chance to compete in the Beijing Olympics. He might not have made the cut for China, but this time around he's secured his ticket to London. The South African athlete was already penned in for the 4 x 400 meters relay, and will now also compete in the singles 400 meters -- said to be his favorite distance. The South African Olympic committee made a last-minute decision to include Pistorius in the team, making him the first amputee track athlete to compete in the full Olympic games. An amazing achievement in its own right, but a race victory on top of the bureaucratic one would surely be the ultimate finish.
