The Smith Blade Pro, a premium multi-tool by Hacksmith, is set to hit the market this November. Crafted with a focus on core functionality, this titanium tool boasts a sleek design and a range of 21 tools built from 35 individual components.
At its heart, the Smith Blade Pro features a blade made of M390 steel, renowned for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The handle is crafted from Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy, ensuring durability and a lightweight feel. The tool weighs a mere 3.3oz, making it perfect for everyday carry.
One of the standout features of the Smith Blade Pro is its patent-pending bit retention system. Integrated into the handle scale, this system offers easy access to 4mm precision screwdriver bits, while maintaining a lightweight design thanks to the titanium frame. The system is fidget-friendly, drop-proof, and can accommodate any 4mm bits.
The Smith Blade Pro includes a variety of tools, such as wire strippers, a tungsten carbide glass breaker, a ferrocerium fire striker, a bubble level, a bottle opener, and a pry bar. International versions comply with stricter knife laws by featuring non-locking mechanisms and sub-3-inch blades.
