Luminox Carabiner (or Karabiner) Folding Knife and Tool Set - A novelty, A Review

I got this interesting folding knife combo from my watch dealer as a gift (see http://easternwatch.blogspot.my/ and http://westernwatch.blogspot.my/, two of my other blogs dedicated to watch collecting).

Made for the Luminox watch brand, it is a carabiner cum folding knife with a couple of tools bits such a flat screw bit and a Phillips screw bit. It comes in a simple white cardboard box without any text or logo.

The tool is painted black with a large "Luminox" name and logo on the side. Made out of soft metal, this "carabiner" cannot be used as the name suggest. It is only good to keep keys and such. Putting any stress like your own body weight may cause it to fail. It is merely a decoration.

There is a linear lock to the knife blade when extended for safety. To disengage, the lock needs to be manually pushed out of the way. The blade comes with a saw bit as well. At the extreme left of the tool is also a bottle opener.

The two screw bits. The dimensions for the carabiner is 10.5 cm long and 6.5 cm wide (at the thickest part). The blade is 7.5 cm long and when fully extended, the whole tool is 19 cm.

Overall, a good concept. With quality material and good manufacturing processes, this can be a great tool. This particular example is just a novelty.

Victorinox Penknife with collaboration with IMD

Was given this Victorinox Penknife by IMD in a training course which they conducted in Westin Resort & Spa, Langkawi.

A simple tool with 7 implements that can handle more than 10 types of jobs.

The main blade is approximately 2 inches long.

IBPA Penknife, corporate gift

Got this corporate gift from IBPA. A pocketknife made in China. Low quality. Good as a letter opener.

Victorinox Penknife in Black

I got this Victorinox penknife in black on Mount Titlis, Switzerland. It is approximately 11 cm with all the tools in place.

It has 10 different tools. The knife is 8 cm long and its locked open using a simple catch (see below).

The tools upon extension.

Luminox - Swiss Made - Penknife

This is a penknife from the Luminox watch company. Not a part of their product line, more of a corporate gift kind of product for them.

Has a number of useful functions. Generally follows the design of the famous Swiss Army Knives.

The unique feature I find on this penknife is the three rubber ribs close to the edge of the knife.
