Bonus points if you can figure out how to use the fork without slicing your hand open.
Why did they put the closed wrench so close to the blade edge? Why not near the spine of the knife? I feel the blade would break there easily.
And no handle. A paracord wrap is not a comfortable handle for batoning and chopping.

Yes, but the ability to defend oneself against attacking redwood trees is invaluable.
The thought that came to mind is that the Creator looks after fools and little children. Like any tool that tries to be too much, this fails.
No Nail file? …deal breaker
it's everything I ever imagined a throwing pipe multitool could be, plus a fork and a sundial.
I'm pretty sure these aren't for battonning wood.
The website show a man ready to throw his blade at a large angry tree ? These might be for throwing at Sasquatch, the photo wasn't clear. Using the pipe in reverse to blow smoke may function as a bird call. It can be fastened to a stick, transforming it into a hiking spear.
Very innovative, but 420 stainless might not be the best material. I'm concerned about the weight. It might not fly, but putting a cheese grater on the blade would make it lighter.

While I agree that the thought may be amusing, please rememebr this is meant to be a family-friendly site – safe for a reader's children.

420 stainless might not be the best material.
Or is it "4:20" steel?.
