This is an interesting value proposition that deserves to be on more people’s radars. Handling one of these Tech-Tools made me realize it was (once again) wrong of me to dismiss this knife. But then again, Boker has been making slip joint multi-tools for almost 150 years now. It seemed rather ambitious that a company like Boker was going to come in and change the game that the Swiss have dominated for so long. After all, Swiss Army Knives have been around for decades. ![]() When the Tech Tool first came out I wasn’t sure what to make of it.
