Diminutive Everyday Task Tools

The RZE HexEdge Microblade Weighs in at Just 55-Grams

— February 6, 2023 — Art & Design
The RZE HexEdge Microblade is a durably designed everyday carry (EDC) tool perfect for professionals, DIYers and makers alike to use on a range of small tasks. The tool maintains an angular shape that's multifaceted and comfortable to hold in the hand, and will reveal a 1.67-inch D2 steel slip point blade when in need. The blade is also coated with titanium nitride to further enhance the rigidity and reduce reflectivity. The miniature design of the knife enables it to be easily attached onto a keychain, slipped into a bag or stowed in a pocket thanks to a clip.

The RZE HexEdge Microblade comes backed by a lifetime warranty and is being launched as part of a Kickstarter campaign with pledges starting at $45.
