Spend a little time on Kickstarter, and it’s quite easy to send yourself spiraling down a deep and terrifying knife and EDC rabbit hole. There’s no shortage of half-baked ideas or, perhaps worse, items that look no different or better than what already exists.
Let’s be honest: At first glance, this thing does not resemble a game-changing multi-tool. We’d put it closer to something the Predator keeps on his wrist and uses to fire deadly projectiles — or maybe the deadly projectiles themselves.
But every once in a while, you’ll come across a promising project, one that makes you think: Ya know what? This thing’s got a shot. That’s the reaction we had upon encountering EDC-Angie’s rather ominously named Titanium Blade Shadow — and its steel wire saw, in particular.

But look a little deeper and you’ll see it delivers a number of cool functions. The headline, of course, is that it packs a length of steel wire that, when the unit is separated into two halves, becomes a pretty badass two-hand saw. The GIF below, showing it spring into action to cut through some fairly thick branches, kinda says it all.
