Heirloom

Carry you could hand down.

What they share. Every pick is backed by a lifetime or heirloom-length warranty, or a repair promise.

Ten years on. They are the same objects, in a better state than when you bought them.

Knife carry laws vary by country, state and city. Check the rules where you live and where you are travelling before you carry a knife or a multi-tool with a blade.

Some buy links are affiliate links. If you buy through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. How this is funded.
