One of the big draws at Blade Show is the Emerson Knives / Multitasker Tools collaboration of the EK-1 Multitool and EDC-1 Compact Multitool.
Featuring CNC machined billet “chomper” blades, and G10 handle scales, the EK-1 Multitool integrates a 3.125″ Tanto-style blade as well as a 3″ SARK style serrated blade, both with liner safety lock. There is also an Awl, Can Opener with Small Screwdriver Tip, Bottle Opener with Large Screwdriver Tip, and a Phillips No 1 Screwdriver. Additionally, the EK-1 accepts OTIS cleaning kit tool heads and comes packaged with a removable dental pick for reaching difficult crevices. Naturally, it also has a belt clip.
The EDC-1 Compact Multitool offers G10 scales and a chassis that is more reminiscent of a pocket knife. No pliers here, but it does include a 2.5″ Micro commander style knife blade with patented wave feature and liner lock safety. As you can see, there use also a removable prybar / gator wrench / bottle opener. Additional tools including an Awl with liner lock safety, Phillips No 1 Screwdriver, and Large Slotted Screwdriver. Don’t forget the belt clip.
Look for these collaborations to hit the street this September.
