Staying prepared for an emergency or survival scenario is often associated with large accessories, but the 'Go-Knife' survival multi-tool is compact enough to be carried in a pocket.
Available from NMB Creations and the design work of Nolan Brundige, the 'Go-Knife' operates as a flare launcher, compass, fish hook and line, firecord, straw, knife and much more. Featuring a total of nine different tools in one compact device, the 'Go-Knife' is ready to be brought with you to remote locations for use in survival scenarios or during everyday tasks.
The 'Go-Knife' -- as well as the 'Go-Bracelet' -- are currently available for preorder on Kickstarter where early bird deals allow users to get their hands on the devices for less.
