Wallet Ninja ?!?

Anyone here have one of these?

I can't help but think that real ninjas wouldn't need flashlights.

Seriously, no, I don't have one of those. I'm not big on the credit card style multitool (including the Swiss Card and Tool Logic types) since I find the inflexibility and thickness make my wallet really uncomfortable to carry.

In the days before smart phones I used to carry a Swiss Card Quattro in the case for my PDA, but nowadays I don't have that option.

You also have to remember that while it might be roughly the same size as a credit card (2"x3") it's probably around 1/8" thick, which means it will be very uncomfortable to actually carry, not to mention stretching the crap out of a slot (at least in a leather wallet), the corners will cause premature wear to your wallet and it could end up damaging your credit and bank cards as they will have to conform around it when you sit down.

That, and I've never seen a design that had decently long tools. You either get a bunch of individual things that slide out of the central holder, or you get a bunch of things that fold out of the edges. In the former case, a lot of space is wasted on handles and things can fall out and get lost, in the latter case, you get a bunch of things off of the tiniest Victorinoxes (best case scenario) in a larger, more awkward package.

I also don't like multitools with flashlights in them. If you need to use your tools in the dark, you're screwed. A separate light is preferable.

I concur, real ninjas are invisible and therefore must be blind, so no need for flashlights.

I like my Swiss Card. It fits snug into the front pocket of my Maxpedition Micro EDC kit

I agree. Wallet sized knives and tools can be very handy.

Provided you have somewhere other than a wallet to carry them.

I used to have a Tool logic card. It broke under the pressure of my smurf.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #9 on:** June 16, 2014, 05:35:09 PM

That is a typical problem with credit card type tools. They aren't smurf proof.

Ive carried a swiss card in my wallet for years no prob. BUT, I dont carry my wallet in by back pocket. I seem to only wear cargo pants or shorts, so Ive always kept my wallet in front lower outside pocket.

Yeah, I have a thing for collecting them...but to put on in my wallet...not going to happen.

Dude looks like he's on day three of a meth bender and starting to see the rabbit people creeping up on him

Good thing he has his wallet ninja

I think the wallet ninja will damage your smurf first

I think its a good breast pocket carry tool

This card for 15 years and it is more ninja. Has a large knife and can dress on hand. And more tools.

enki_ck · **Reply #18 on:** June 19, 2014, 01:51:56 PM

That one looks dangerous. I'd like some kind of removable guard on the knife portion of it, I can't see how once could use half of the tools safely without a guard, especially the can opener.

Interesting tool though.

I had the same thought, then refrained from commenting as Russians are so tough they don't need silly things like guards on knives!

Russians are tough because Vodka can cure any pain. Looks interesting and useful but in the wrong hands it's a severed finger waiting to happen.

Russian card in a leather case. For gifted people, there are instructions. A drink Russian vodka is now much less. Now 14th on Alcohol is the level of England. And in Russia continues to fall, increased fertility, recovering industry. I think these actions are already visible in the world in the Russian.

More sold such "dangerous" by European standards. But they came complete with a large knife.

livan · **Reply #23 on:** June 19, 2014, 10:30:44 PM

Ninja card that featured in the video, has a slot for credit card directly over the wrenches. It does not allow wrenches do even a little effort.

As if one walks around with unassigned slots in one's wallet.

I bought one since they can be found on the fleabay for under a ten spot. It actually does feel sturdy, but isn't as thick as I thought it would be. Everything printed on one side is also on the other, but someone got lazy with the ruler as it's a mirror image and backwards on the other side, lol...

If I don't keep it, a brother-in-law, nephew, or uncle might get it for Christmas.

Stormdrane · **Reply #26 on:** August 30, 2014, 04:18:37 PM

Looking through a desk drawer, I found some Tyvek credit card sleeves I'd bought years ago, and the Wallet Ninja fits perfectly inside, and with that material being pretty tuff, it should help protect the edges of the tool from catching on things inside a wallet.

Let us know how it fairs over time and use.

I suffer from the George Costanza wallet syndrome, my T.H.E. Wallet measuring in at about 2.25" thick, and if I actually had any cash, I probably wouldn't be able to close it, lol...

I've got a few friends who's wallets would put George's to shame.
