Keychain-Sized Utility Knives

AlloyX is Crowdfunding for its 'WaspArmor Blade' EDC Knife

— April 27, 2024 — Lifestyle
The WaspArmor Blade from AlloyX is a compact keychain-sized tool designed for versatility and durability. Crafted from high-grade titanium, this micro folding knife boasts a sleek and minimalist design, making it an ideal everyday carry item for those who require premium knives for hunting, construction, or other uses. The blade’s unique folding mechanism allows for quick and easy access, while its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties ensure long-lasting performance and ease of maintenance.

The WaspArmor Blade is currently available via a Kickstarter campaign from AlloyX where one WaspArmor Blade retails for $39 with the early-bird discount. This is discounted from the upcoming MSRP of $55. Availability outside of the Kickstarter campaign will depend on the success of the initial funding and production run, with the potential for wider distribution through retail channels if the product gains sufficient traction and demand.
