Vvego International created a high quality [survival knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a7-zastava) called the ‘T-1 Boot Blade’ out of aircraft materials. This [small, tactical blade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinyblade) is fashioned from inoncel, which is the same alloy used in the skin of the Saturn V Booster and the X-15 Rocket aircrafts.

The alloy is oxidation-resistant and corrosion-resistant so this blade will last a lifetime. It is also easily adaptable to both left and right-handed users and comes with a [custom leather holster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesn-ridgeback-microblade) and cable lanyard to buckle onto a belt, knapsack or boot.

It may weigh less than an ounce, but the Vvego T-1 Boot Blade is extremely sustainable and strong. It is the perfect gift for the outdoor enthusiast; it can survive and help in extreme weather conditions or just assist its user in opening that stubborn package they got in the mail.
