Multi-tools are great. That is, they are great until you don’t have one or the blade of the one you have is too dull to get anything done.The Bladeclip incorporates a sturdy built-in clip and a scalpel-style blade changing system The design attempts to address both of these issues.
Bladeclip has already surpassed its original goal of raising $5,000 on Kickstarter. This is due to the fact that tool maker 3 Peters has already run a previously successful campaign for titanium utility knives. It’s also likely because the tool incorporates two of his smart features into the design: a clip and an interchangeable blade system.
The clip is cleverly incorporated as part of the blade clip design, so with the blade folded, it’s as easy as pressing the sides of the tool to attach it to your belt loop. You can even put it in your pants pocket. It can be used to attach a traditional keyring, but there is actually an additional ring on the other side of the tool that serves this purpose.

When it comes to blades, the Bladeclip is designed to fit nine different knife styles from No.18 to No.26. It can be removed and replaced. Plus, if you forget to take his Bladeclip out of your carry-on at the airport, you can simply remove the blade and discard it instead of handing over the entire tool to security personnel.
The Bladeclip’s functionality is further improved by a window breaker and bottle opener at one end. And of course, the material of choice for modern multi-tool makers, titanium construction helps ensure durability throughout the tool. Measuring just 81.5 mm (approximately 3.2 inches) when folded, you get plenty of features from a relatively small package.
You can still win one of the few Super Early Bird Rewards left and get a Bladeclip with 10 blades for US$89. When they run out, the price goes up to $99.The team is also offering his 2-pack of 20 blades for $169. As an add-on, you can get a box of 100 blades for $12.
If the campaign goes well and all goes according to plan, the Bladeclip developers plan to ship the knives to backers in September of this year. Its functionality is demonstrated in the video below.
