Micro Keychain EDC Tools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Man of Gear 'tinyBLADE' is the World's Smallest Tactical Knife

— November 8, 2024 — Lifestyle
Everyday carry (EDC) culture continues to permeate the market as consumers seek out ways to stay ready for a variety of small tasks, which is seeing brands adapt with new solutions like the Man of Gear 'tinyBLADE.' The accessory is positioned by the brand as being the world's smallest tactical knife that's crafted out of Superior M390 Steel to give it a rugged, durable profile. The knife is great for making quick work of a wide range of small cutting tasks yet is smaller than a conventional key to make it perfect for placement onto a keychain.

The Man of Gear 'tinyBLADE' also features a bottle opener alongside a frame lock that will prevent the blade from being accidentally revealed, while the ridged spine reduces slippage.
