Kershaw Select Fire Multi-tool Knife

While I am a big fan of multi-tools the knife part tends to be an afterthought. The knife is usually not that strong and has a tiny blade. Not the Kershaw Select Fire Multi-tool Knife. The Select Fire (has nothing to do with fire, strange name) is more knife than multi-tool.…
