Overview
Campers and overlanders who want one belt tool for fire, signalling and cutting. Skip it if you mostly need a desk/household tool with strong drivers; a Wave+ or Free P2 is better for less.
Pliers, saw, bit driver; the carabiner clip rides on a bag. Bought 2025-08-16 from Amazon.com for US$139.95 (nylon sheath included in the bundle; same order had a first-aid kit and water tablets).
Pros
- Outdoor tools nobody else bundles: ferro rod, whistle, hammer, sharpener
- Excellent saw; GearJunkie's 10-year test calls it heirloom-grade
- Stainless with Cerakote; clip plus carabiner
- 25-year warranty
Cons
- Pricey for 19 tools
- No scissors, no file; outward pliers sit wide for small hands
- 420HC rusts if neglected; bit driver is weak
- Heavy for daily pocket carry

Daily use
Which multi-tool for a desk-and-outdoors life?
Pliers, saw, bit driver; the carabiner clip rides on a bag. Campers and overlanders who want one belt tool for fire, signalling and cutting.
“Bought in August 2025 in a kit with first-aid and water-purification gear, which is the context: it is the bag tool for the outdoors, not a pocket tool. The Knafs does the daily cutting.”
Shape, ergonomics and features TBD
The negatives, the positives, and the things nobody mentions in the listing. Coming from the owner after a longer stretch of use.
