Lost on a Desert Island? The PRYTIUM Titanium Multitool is the EDC You’d Wish You Had

Posted on by

Multitools have gotten really creative over the past year and it’s been one heck of an adventure seeing what EDC-builders are coming up with each day to make their tools stronger, more functional, and hyper-compact. There’s usually a trade-off somewhere in those three categories – you can either have a compact tool that has a few core features, or a chunky multitool that has every instrument conceivable under the sun… but PRYTIUM surprisingly doesn’t make that trade-off. With its tiny form factor that makes carrying it a breeze, and its titanium construction that gives it the kind of durability you wouldn’t get from your average multitool, PRYTIUM is a spry, feature-packed little device that will do anything from open a can of beans to fix your bicycle for you. With 14 different tools packed into an EDC that’s just 127mm (5 inches) long and 30mm (1.4 inches) wide, PRYTIUM is the perfect accessory to have on you at all times…

PRYTIUM’s 14 different features cover a wide array of use cases. It has your standard bottle opener, pry-tool, and can opener, but also packs a few utility tools like a hex driver, nail-file, scalpel blade, and a tungsten-carbide glass breaker for emergencies. Whether you’re sitting at home, stuck on a dirt road with a broken bicycle, camping in the outdoors, or stranded on a desert island, PRYTIUM’s veritable catalog of features always ends up being useful.

Can Opener – An underrated tool for all camping trips.

Bottle Opener – An essential tool to prevent broken teeth & fingernails.

Nail Puller – Playing the pull out game with those pesky rusty nails.

Prybar – Splits stuff into pieces.

4mm Bit Slot – 4mm screw bit slot for PH2 & CR-V2.

1/4″ Bit Slot – The standard 1/4 inch screw bit slot.

1/4″ High Torque Bit Slot – Need extra torque for your 1/4 inch bit? PRYTIUM got you covered.

The Grade-5 titanium construction plays a pretty pivotal role in PRYTIUM’s usefulness. A lot of its features rely on a durable build that won’t break, bend, or get damaged during use. PRYTIUM’s body features a bottle opener that also works with cans, alongside a wedge-shaped tip that lets you remove nails as well as use the EDC as a prybar. The bottle opener’s cutout features a hexagonal profile that makes it double as a high-torque 1/4″ hex bit, while another slot on the back lets you mount your hex bits for a more traditional regular-torque application. Got 4mm bits? Another slot in PRYTIUM’s body lets you slide a 4mm bit in for more intricate work, and there’s even a dedicated compartment to store as many as 2 hex bits with your PRYTIUM, allowing you to carry them with you.

3″ Ruler – A great tool for last-minute sketching and map measurements.

Nail File – When you need a good grinding of sharp edge items.

Tungsten Glass Breaker – A savior tool you might need in a life-or-death situation.

Rechargeable Hyper Glow – Illuminates brightly and can last up to 7 hours.

Ceramic Bead Locking – Engage PRYTIUM’s razor-sharp blades with just a click.

Every edge and corner of PRYTIUM’s body is utilized to the best of its ability. A flat edge on one side has engraved metric and imperial markings, letting you use your EDC tool as a scale for measuring as well as drawing straight lines. One of the flat surfaces of PRYTIUM’s body doubles as a nail file, while a hyper glow (strontium aluminate) component right above it glows at night, offering 7 hours of luminescence when recharged under sunlight. A tungsten carbide glass breaker sits on the extreme end of PRYTIUM’s body, allowing you to shatter even reinforced laminated glass (like the ones in cars) with a single strike, and every EDC’s magnum opus, your PRYTIUM comes with a fold-out blade-holder with a ceramic bead lock that lets you mount any standard surgical blade onto it for cutting through boxes, leather, paracords, branches, and more.

10 Interchangeable Blade Types – Versatile blade mount that can accommodate 10 different design utility blades for different jobs.

Slicing multiple materials.

Slicing through 3mm thick wood board.

Instead of relying on a robust titanium fold-out blade, PRYTIUM makes the clever choice of employing removable surgical blades that you can swap out every now and then. Made from carbon steel, these blades find themselves on scalpels, making them dangerously sharp and good for everything from opening boxes to whittling wood. The fact that PRYTIUM’s blades are replaceable allows you to choose from as many as 10 different surgical blade shapes/styles (depending on what kind of cutting work you’re doing), and also lets you simply ditch old blades as they wear out for newer ones, increasing your EDC’s lifespan while decreasing the maintenance required of sharpening blades. The removable blades also allows your PRYTIUM to be TSA-friendly, allowing you to travel with your EDC simply by ditching the blade part and carrying only the titanium tool with you.

Deep Pocket Clip – Slim & light, you won’t even know you’re carrying it.

Each PRYTIUM features a deep pocket clip that lets you slide it right into your pants or a slot in your backpack, along with a lanyard hole in case you want to string your EDC around your neck or secure it on a carabiner attached anywhere – a feature enhanced by the EDC’s low 84-gram weight (2.96 ounces). While it has its own hyper glow module (which charges via bright light or UV), the PRYTIUM’s body also features two slots for Tritium vials, allowing your EDC to be visible (and functionally distinguishable) even in pitch darkness.

You can choose your PRYTIUM in a variety of colors – from the nude titanium finish to a PVD matte black version to even a psychedelic multicolored anodized variant (that’s due to unlock soon as a campaign milestone perk). Each PRYTIUM is built to last a lifetime (thanks to its robust G5 Titanium construction) and starts at a discounted $106 USD with the PRYTIUM multitool, a 4mm PH2 screw bit, a 4mm CR-V 2 screw bit, and three No.11 size utility blades included in the box.

Posted on by

Designed for any sort of tactical, emergency, and first-responder scenarios, Tekto’s latest pocket knife is built for both durability and versatility. Designed to be deployed with a single hand, the F1 Alpha features a razor-sharp titanium-treated D2 blade with a drop-point edge, G10 and Carbon Fiber handles for a grip that’s both lightweight and ridiculously durable, and a glass breaker on the reverse end that lets you get out of sticky situations in a jiffy.

There are two schools of thought within the knife collectors community. Some collect knives that are works of art but don’t necessarily achieve much, others collect knives that are reliably functional and can get any job done. Tekto’s F1 Alpha focuses on the latter, with a design that feels slick, sensible, and sturdy.

The knife comes in 5 variants, all featuring a highly functional 3.1” titanium-treated D2 steel blade with a fine edge and full flat grind, along with a laser-cut jimping to enhance the user’s grip. The 5 variants explore different color themes and offer up a choice between handles made from G10 or Carbon Fiber. The blade flips in and out using a creamy-smooth ceramic ball bearing mechanism, with a finger flipper for easy one-handed deployment, and a liner lock that prevents your blade from accidentally shutting on you.

Fast & Consistent Deployment – The state-of-the-art ceramic ball bearing mechanism allows the Alpha to deploy the blade rapidly and smoothly with the utmost ease.

Excellent Grip – The F1 Alpha features an ergonomic G10 and Carbon Fiber handle for superior strength, grip, and comfort.

Unique Blade – With a modified straight back blade, the F1 Alpha comes with a D2 steel blade coated in titanium for high wear resistance and unmatched hardness and sharpness.

The F1 Alpha measures a mere 4.5-inches (115mm) when closed, opening up to 7.78-inches (197mm) when flipped open. The straight-back drop-point blade offers great versatility, making the knife useful for cutting, whittling, piercing, and slashing. Given its tiny size and the fact that it weighs just 0.19lbs (92g), the F1 Alpha is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use, doing everything from cutting open boxes to slashing down branches. Designed for tactical scenarios too, the knife comes with its own glass breaker built right into the lanyard hole.

Glass Breaker – Comes standard with a glass breaker that also acts as a spacer and a lanyard hole.

Designed for Both Left and Right – The pocket clip comes pre-installed on the right side.

You can grab your own F1 Alpha from Tekto’s website, starting at $119.99 for the G10 variants, and $139.99 for the carbon fiber model. Yanko Design readers also get an additional 15% off by using the code YANKO15. The F1 Alpha ships globally.

This titanium stick transforms into the tool you wished you always in your pocket

Posted on by

Cutting through your tasks has never looked better.

There always comes a time in everyone’s life where they’re left shaking their heads, wishing they had a cutting tool right at that very moment. That usually happens when we receive mail or a package that needs to be opened right then and there, but it can also happen when we’re faced with tasks that require cutting, snipping, or even slicing. Carrying a box cutter or a pair of shears all the time is definitely out of the question, and even the most pocketable scissors or blades can still be inconvenient to stow. What if you had such a tool that’s small enough to share space with your keys? That’s exactly the proposition that the Titanium Transforming Pocket Blade is making, and it’s doing a grand job of convincing people with its dashing good looks as well.

Pocket blades are one of those tools where you need to hit a sweet spot in size, or else things go south quickly. It has to be small, naturally, so that it would even fit in your pocket. At the same time, however, it has to also be big enough to give you a proper grip to avoid unsightly mishaps. There’s no size that fits all, at least not unless you can actually change the size of the object to check both boxes.

Building upon the success of six transforming pen campaigns, the Titanium Transforming Pocket Blade puts a slight twist on the story, both literally and figuratively. This cutting tool is laser-focused on delivering the precision, quality, and safety required for something that could cut both ways while still hiding a few tricks up its sleeves for good measure. And like all other multi-functional tools from Smart & Savior Designs, it still boasts of that hardened titanium body that will stand the test of time.

Open up shipping boxes.

Easily cut paper.

Peel vegetables.

Instead of the typical strong magnets, the Transform Pocket Blade uses a threaded locking mechanism and double o-rings to transform the small blade into a longer blade that you can handle with more ease and comfort. The machined spiral pattern on the handle’s surface doesn’t just make it visually interesting but also provides grooves that the skin on our fingers can bite into, improving the grip. Despite its small size, its construction and quality materials make short work of any cutting job, even slicing cucumbers. When titanium surfaces are subjected to light, it becomes more effective in repelling bacteria, so you don’t need to shy away from getting down and dirty in cutting tasks down to size.

An optional stylus nib turns the Transforming Pocket Blade into a useful tool even when not cutting things up. The fiber mesh material of that tip is more effective than the rubbery ones that cheap stylus offer. Even without the stylus tip, the titanium rod can still perform other tasks, like pushing buttons when you’re not sure if the surface is clean enough to touch with a bare finger.

The Titanium Transforming Pocket Blade’s innocent yet handsome appearance belies the powerful tool inside that’s just a twist away. Its durable titanium body, plus the fact that the blade can be removed and replaced, means that it’s going to be at your service for years to come. Designed to easily attach to carabiners, there is almost no reason why this shouldn’t be part of your EDC kit, ready to open up those surprise packages or slice up a quick snack, whenever and wherever.

A camera-shaped EDC to easily adjust settings is a must-have part of your photography gear

Posted on by

The Camera Multi-Tool is an EDC item available on Kikkerland Design that allows users to store several handheld tools in their pocket or wallet.

EDC items come in handy when you least expect them to. Contactless door openers came in handy with the onset of a global pandemic and donut-shaped plastic cutters can do more than just slice open plastic water bottles. Providing the perfect home for niche EDC items, Kikkerland Design is known for one of the world’s “largest [collections] of ingenious items combining form, function, and delight in equal parts.” Cameras are temperamental creatures, so Kikkerland Design released a handy multi-tool to help optimize camera settings and capture the perfect photograph.

Designer: Kikkerland Design

Aptly termed the Camera Multi-Tool, Kikkerland’s new product is a stainless steel, credit card-sized gadget that resembles a palm-sized, 2D camera. Whether you have an old, vintage camera or weather conditions make it hard to figure out the best settings for taking photos, the Camera Multi-Tool comes with 13 functions as well as the ‘Sunny 16’ rule to help figure it out. In its center, is a circular cavity that allows users to find the best angle for their photograph. As the rule goes, on a sunny day, the aperture can be set to f/16 and so on.

Maintaining a slim size to fit inside of your wallet, the Camera Multi-Tool measures 7.6×3.2×0.2cms. Packing a lot into its small size, the Camera Multi-Tool carries a saw blade, a flathead screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, two wrenches, a blade, a Prybar nail puller, a bottle opener, a butterfly screw wrench, a ruler, and a keyhole. While the many tools can be used outside of cameras, screwdrivers and wrenches can tighten cameras and other accessories like tripods.

This tiny titanium EDC multitool will practically replace your entire toolkit

About the same size as a french fry, the PICHI X2 may be the most versatile piece of EDC just yet. Crafted entirely from titanium, it works as a multi-size wrench, a scalpel/knife, a crowbar, and even a high-torque holder for any hex bits you’ve got. Designed to replace your entire arsenal of wrenches and screwdrivers, the PICHI X2 is about as brilliantly versatile as it is ridiculously tiny… and in between tasks, its integrated bottle opener lets you stay cool while on the job.

Designer: PICHI DESIGN

The beauty of something like the PICHI X2 is that it isn’t strictly an outdoor tool or a bicycle tool. It doesn’t bind itself to a particular category or nature of usage, but instead, tries to fit as much as it can within its small form factor, making it pretty much universally useful. Sure, the multitool EDC can tighten and open nuts and bolts as well as work as a hex-bit holder to work with screws too, letting you use it around the house, on your car/bike, for plumbing, or just about anywhere… but the PICHI X2’s blade also works as a nifty knife, a box-cutter, as well as a stationery sharpener, while the crowbar lends itself to a variety of use-cases, from popping open jars to prying lids off paint-cans, to even taking off staples!

The PICHI X2’s ridiculously tiny size is possible thanks, in part to good design and engineering, but also to the fact that the EDC multitool is made entirely from Grade 5 Titanium. The entire contraption weighs a mere 44 grams and is slim enough to slide right into pockets, although it comes with a carabiner clip and a leather holster to class things up. Its design features a multi-size wrench on one end, and a foldable blade holder on the other, which accommodates your standard replaceable No. 11 surgical blades. The blade swivels open with a satisfying click, thanks to the ceramic bead locking system, and closes shut when you’re done, concealing the edge to ensure the PICHI X2 can safely sit in your pocket. The PICHI X2 also features a magnetized screwdriver slot that fits 1/4-inch hex bits (working comfortably with any existing bits you may own), and the angled crowbar and bottle opener really speak for themselves!

Each PICHI X2 sports a stone-washed finish that one could argue is a modern classic when it comes to everyday carries. The multitool is entirely scratch-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and practically impervious to damage. While it doesn’t come with a warranty or guarantee, the PICHI X2 should easily outlive your entire steel toolkit, lasting on an average 350% longer than traditional tools. The tiny, versatile, lightweight EDC multitool ships for $78, and for an extra $20, you can even grab the leather holster and carabiner clip, allowing you to proudly carry your PICHI X2 everywhere you go.

Versatile and Feather light, Leatherman pocket multi-tool is the ideal all-in-one EDC for newbies!

Posted on by




Elegantly designed Leatherman multi-tool that shaves off the less required tools while adding some important ones – making it the ideal EDC for every pocket.

For any situation in life, you need to be ready with the right tool at the right time. The Leatherman Curl EDC inspired by the Wave Plus does exactly that with a touch of style. This multi-tool carries the essence of the Portland, Oregon-based origins established more than 37 years ago. Why I say that, well because it has the brand’s iconic features coming at an affordable price tag for first-time users. To be precise, the Curl EDC is a classic while being highly capable of tackling anything or everything coming its way.

Made out of 100 percent stainless steel material, the pocket tool is just the right palm-sized utility that’s so wantable. What piqued my interest about this multi-tool is the unification of 15 tools into a slim package weighing just 7.5-ounce. Leatherman has truly ticked all the right checkboxes here to appeal to a wide array of audiences. And be rest assured about its performance for a long time – after all it comes with a 25-year warranty. Virtually making it last a lifetime!

Leatherman Curl comes with a carefully chosen selection of tools like 420HC knife, bottle opener, can opener, diamond-coated file, hard-wire cutters, large bit driver, medium screwdriver, needlenose pliers, normal pliers, a ruler, spring-action scissors and wire stripper. To make it ultra-easy to carry around Curl also gets a removable pocket clip and nylon belt sheath.

 

Compared to the Wave, the Curl here gives up on the saw and serrated blade for outside accessible tools. It swaps the micro driver with an awl for the inside accessible tools. It also does away with the replaceable wire cutters and locking mechanism which I think is not much of a loss unless you cutting wires or fences every other day!
