Multi Tool
Everyone likes to tinker with a multi-tool! The concept of a multi-tool dates back to the time of the Roman Empire, when troops were routinely mobilized on long journeys across Western Europe, the Persian Gulf, and Northern Africa. Maintaining the most powerful military of the time meant having superior weapons to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies. This was indeed the heyday for advancements in the use of metals to fabricate and mass-produce swords, spears (or javelins), daggers, and even knives that could be concealed in a soldier's pouch. However, long campaigns were less about engaging in daily skirmishes with the enemy and more about long treks, living in an unfamiliar wilderness, and camping out every night. Around 200 to 300 A.D., the first multi-tool was fashioned from iron and silver.
The Roman multi-tool was indeed an everyday implement, and not a weapon to be used for aggression or defense. The foldaway multi-tool included a knife, much like the small blade of today's pocketknife, a spike, a pick, a spatula, and a fork with a spoon at the opposite end. A stellar example of an 1800-year old multi-tool is now a vital part of Fitzwilliam Museum's collection at the University of Cambridge. In keeping with the Roman tradition, Sarge Knives offers the HOBO knife with a locking blade and locking fork that makes an ideal gift for campers, hunters, anglers, hikers, and anyone on the go. Made from 440C Stainless Steel, these utensils tuck neatly inside your choice of Rosewood or White Bone handles with an extended length of seven inches.
