5.0 out of 5 stars For the survival enthusiast this is a must have, December 13, 2008

I'm a college student who's been interested in emergency preparedness and wilderness survival for the past few years. I'm also majoring Emergency Management. I like to have as many of the essentials on me as I can at all time. For anyone who's interested in making their wallet into a formidable survival aid, I recommend this product. The knife is fantastic, and all other components (even the compass!) function flawlessly.

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a backup item, January 25, 2010

I purchased this item for my survival pack. I always make sure i can have a back up if needed, just in case. This item is more of a back up tool than anything. The knife is alright, but only as a back up in case you loose your other tools. It is small but effective in cutting rope and other tiny objects. They have a picture of this knife wrapped around a wooden handle as a make shift "spear". Again, if its the last tool you have left its better than nothing.

The lense is small enough for maybe starting a fire if you have nothing else. I should have opted for the light, but those batteries are too expensive to replace. The compass is faulty. You have to remove the knife to get a reading, even then its terribly small and partial accurate. This wont work if you need a quick reading! The less energy you have to use something in the wild, the better. The two items i feel make this semi-worth it would be the magnesium strip at the bottom and the whistle at the top. Both are important, the whistle can be used for attracting attention for help or warning an animal/scaring them away. These two things will work fine without backups but if your going into the wilderness, backups are always important.

Over all the reason this items gets three stars is that its just ok. The items will work if need but as a survival tool it should not be depended on as a first resort. It may work better carrying it in urban settings just in case you get stuck in your car (seatbelt) or need that extra space saving tool for everyday.

This is my second card tool from Tool Logic. My first one was Card II with LED light option instead compass and lens.
Overall this is nice useful tool but compass is really piece of junk, dial has problem with rotating, it gets stuck very often.
It wasn't even worth so send it back so I decided to keep it anyway.
