About LIGHTER·KNIFE

Why offer a combination of a knife and a lighter? That’s a good question. I can’t answer that any better than survival instructor, Cody Lundin:

There are two master, multi-use components with which civilizations were built.…They are a cutting edge and fire. Both have been around since time began and are each the epitomes of multiuse magic, accomplishing a plethora of tasks but taking up a minimal amount of space and weight.

-From 98.6 Degrees: The Art Of Keeping Your Ass Alive by Cody Lundin*

Over the years, I have bought and made various knives and accessories to bundle a cutting edge and fire together in one package. I came up with a lot of solutions, but I wanted something that met all of these criteria:

  1. A compact design

  2. A knife that is more robust than a flimsy pen knife

  3. A reliable, easy-to-use fire source

  4. Consumables that are easy to replace

  5. Keep it simple — do two things and do them well

To my surprise, most of the solutions failed in one or more of these criteria. That’s where the LIGHTER·KNIFE comes in. I stumbled upon a knife of a similar design and fell in love with it. I knew that others would benefit from all that this little tool has to offer. So, I decided to partner with a manufacturer and have these knives custom-made to my specifications.

I am happy with the result and think you will be too. Stay tuned for other innovative products that extend the capabilities of your LIGHTER·KNIFE.

Stay safe out there!
