EDC Gear E79 multi-tool.Here is something really different, and large. So large in fact, I have to wonder how to carry thing hunk of steel. Now I am certain this is not an EDC Gear original concept. i am sure this was also found in some kickstarter campaign, but I couldn't find the original after much online searching. I just don't have the originals name to find it.The nice thing about this design however, are those grooves on the edges. The size and those grooves makes this tool the perfect para-cord recipient and quite possibly a place in a bugout bag, or other survivalist type kit. You could even use this as a good basis for a fishing kit by wrapping fishing line around it. At first, I didn't quite like this design, thinking it very large...but then I missed the point of this design. It really shines if you plan on using it as a rope/fishing line organizer and then tossed into a kit where its size won't be much of a factor, but will help with the use of rope work. Think makeshift grappling hook, or rope organizer, or fishing kit...and then you start opening up to the possibilities. This is not a tool meant for key or pocket carry. Once I got over that hurdle, I can appreciate this a little more.

Maybe I'll get a fishing line spool or something.
