The knife has a [rust-resistant blade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mih-bladenex) that is far more versatile than others because it features a serrated edge on one side and a flat edge on the other. The Barebones Living Ultimate Tool comes backed by a five-year warranty and is packaged in a durable sheath that enables it to be affixed onto your belt or utility belt.
