Designed by 3Coil, the Puna is a modern multi-tool designed to be the [smallest everyday carry tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnipro-20) ever made. The Puna comes in a sleek and stylish design modeled after modern day firearms. The tool comes equipped with a surgically sharp scalpel, a hidden micro screwdriver -- used to maintain the knife -- a bottle opener and a built in [Philips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lever-gear-edge-xt) head screwdriver. When purchased, the Puna comes in a well constructed miniature aluminum case about the size of a business card. The blades used in the tool are standard No.11 style blades and are full interchangeable.

3Coil clearly designed this product to not only be stylish, but also extremely useful. The multi-tool is constructed using stainless steel and is about the length of a finger. The UK-based design company found that the small size of the knife surpassed anything larger and provided a sense of extreme control. The Puna was created using crowdfunding from [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minipen), and 3Coil expects to have the product released in late June 2018.
