If you've ever felt the urge to feel more like James Bond, then you need the Iain Sinclair 'CardSharp.' An amazingly [sharp knife](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuttix) disguised as a card, this wicked tool can be [folded up for easy carrying](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oknife).

Perhaps you're not one of those individuals who enjoys that extra "bulk" in your pants; the Iain Sinclair 'CardSharp' is perfect for those purposes. Simply [slip it into your wallet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaner-titanium-edc-wallet) for carrying convenience.
