For centuries, the Swiss Army Knife has been the pocket tool of choice, providing uses around the globe with every tool they could possibly need while on the go — a selection of blades, a corkscrew, a screwdriver, a tweezer, a toothpick, scissors, a file and more. Swiss Army Knife look out, there’s a new kid in town, the Jackfish.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $133,327, the Jackfish is now available at jackfishsurvival.com. The credit-card-sized tool is only 8.5 mm thick, plus it can carry four credit cards. Plus, it comes with tools that you can’t find in a Swiss Army Knife: a whistle if you need help, iodine to purify water, a gadget that provides fire in case you need warmth, a compass so you can find your way, and a USB drive so you can carry scans of your passports and other documents you may need.
Here’s the complete list:
