For those of us who like minimal equipment when hiking up a mountain stream in an afternoon with a box of flies for brookies on a 2 -3 wt rod-- this new tool is OK, lots of applications but heavy on a lanyard.
Very sturdy and well made but not light weight. If made with lighter space age alloys would make it a single tool with multi-purpose dream come true. Needs to be put on a diet. Carabiner built in handle is the best idea but build it with the delicacy of a medical instrument.
