Whether you are heading off on a camping trip or you need a multipurpose knife to keep in your car, the Edge Kinju is a great option.

With a 76-millimeter Japanese steel blade, you know you’re getting a quality piece of kit. In fact, the team behind the knife already made a tiny keychain blade that received rave reviews from satisfied customers.

The Kinju is bigger than its predecessor, but it uses the same principles. The VG10 steel blade is the same, famed for its sharpness and hardiness, plus a lever lock makes sure it stays open during use.

Stainless steel is wrapped in carbon fiber to make a light, hard-wearing handle. The knife weighs in at just 100 grams, so you’ll barely notice it in your pack.

If you’re in need of a knife, the combination of VG10 steel blade and carbon fiber construction is a compelling reason to buy yourself a Kinju. Given the reputation the company built with its first product, it looks like buyers will get their hands on a great product.

The Kinju smashed its funding target during a Kickstarter campaign, and is now available for pre-order. You can get one for $125.
