Just three ingenious folding operations turn the card into
an elegant pocket utility tool. Less bulky than a pocket knife and as sharp as
a scalpel. Cardsharp™ is the first real innovation in penknives since the first
folding knife, which has been around for over 2000 years and is virtually
unchanged from today's Swiss Army penknife. Cardsharp™ is thinner, lighter and
due to its use of surgical steel: sharper.
Cardsharp™ was originally designed as a lightweight surgical
knife that can be easily transported and safely disposed of by hospitals and
medical centers together with paramedics and aid workers throughout the world
(without needing expensive and wasteful sharps containers).
Cardsharp's unique surgical blade technology features an extra-long
65mm cutting edge that ensures longer lasting sharpness (conventional utility
knife blade edge is only 25mm long). A good test for Cardsharp™ is to cut
through a tennis ball or two inch foam which is more difficult using a normal
carton knife.
Cardsharp2 weighs only 14 grams (regular Stanley™ type
utility knife weighs around 150 grams, Leatherman™ same sized blade knife
weighs around 85 grams). Less weight equals carrying and storing convenience
plus reduced carbon footprint.
Cardsharp™ is a great chef's knife. The blade is sharp, long
and thin enough to cut bread and also extremely useful for fast cutting of ultra-thin
slices of vegetables including tomatoes, cucumber and garlic etc. Great for
camping and expedition use; Cardsharp is an essential outdoor
companion/survival tool.
