Dining-Focused Multi-Tools

The ChowPal Multi-Tool Combines Utensils with Heavy-Duty Tools

— May 14, 2018 — Art & Design
Multi-tools often pride themselves on the plethora of functions they can accomplish, but the ChowPal multitool stands out as it may just be the only tool you ever need for an adventure. As the name may suggest, the multi-tool offers up a set of convenient eating utensils hidden away in a small and compact package. A spoon, with a frame locking knife on the opposite end, is paired with a fork. Both utensils fit well into one another thanks to the compact design of the ChowPal multi-tool and both are built incredibly well and are sure to handle any adventure.

The utensils only make up half of the ChowPal multi-tool as it also offers up features that extend past culinary needs. Accompanying the utensils is a can opener, bottle opener, a flat-head screwdriver and a wrench for differently sized nuts. The entire tool is comprised of 420J2 stainless steel and can be easily carried with the accompanying orange nylon storage pouch.
