Lightweight Cork Knives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Baladeo Float Knife is a Fisherman's Perfect Companion

— December 23, 2013 — Art & Design
The Baladeo Float Knife is a great tool for fishermen or simply those who requires such a tool around water. As its name implies, it is able to float so that if accidentally dropped in a body of water, it doesn't sink down to the bottom with no hope of being found again. This is thanks to its handle, which is made out of cork. This essentially makes it buoyant.

With its single blade and built-in key ring, the Baladeo Float Knife could come in handy for a number of situations. Durable and affordable, it could make a great gift for those who enjoy outdoor activities. An otherwise minimalist design, the Baladeo Float Knife may not have the nice weight of metal or wood, but the cork material serves a better purpose.
Trend Themes
1. Buoyant Tools - There is potential for the development of other buoyant tools similar to the Baladeo Float Knife.
2. Affordable Utility Knives - More affordable and versatile utility knives could be developed for wider audiences that enjoy outdoor activities.
3. Lightweight and Durable Materials - Other lightweight and durable materials like cork could be used in the construction of other outdoor tools.
Industry Implications

2. Fishing Industry - The buoyant Baladeo Float Knife presents disruptive opportunities for the fishing industry and their tools and equipment.
3. Gift and Novelty Items - Inexpensive and utilitarian gifts like the Baladeo Float Knife can be marketed towards those who enjoy outdoor activities and exploration.
