If your favorite color is black, you’re going to love the Swiza Swiss army style knife

Nine times out of ten, when we get offers to review cases, bags, ear buds, etc, that come in more than one color, the male members of The Gadgeteer always choose black. Are guys afraid of a little color because it’s not considered manly? If that’s the case, then the Swiza D03 ALLBLACK knife has OD’d on testosterone.

Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, the Swiza knife features an admittedly cool looking matte black polytetrafluoroethylene (otherwise known as Teflon) coating on all the parts.

It has a 440 steel 75mm (2.95 in) locking blade, a corkscrew, a punch, an awl, tweezers, a bottle opener, a flat-head No. 3 screwdriver, a wire bender, a can opener, and a No. 1 flat-head screwdriver.

The Swiza D03 ALLBLACK is priced at $77.85. For more info visit www.swiza.com and you can check out their non-ninja black knives on Amazon.

Become Batman with the KILLSPENCER Utility Belt

Why use your pockets when you can hang all your EDC gear from your belt? You know, like Batman. KILLSPENCER lets you live that dream with their new Utility Belt. See, they even used the same name.

The KILLSPENCER Utility Belt is a handcrafted, made in the USA (Los Angeles) bull hide leather belt that features 4 Pull-the-Dot locking button snaps that hold gear like keys, wallets, your phone, etc. The heavy-duty locking mechanism can only be released when pulled from a specific direction, so it can withstand extreme pressure to create an almost unbreakable system to keep your gear securely by your side at all times.

The KILLSPENCER Utility Belt is available only in black because that is Batman’s fave color. The belt can be purchased in 1.25 or 1.5 inch widths and waist sizes 26 up to 44. It’s priced at $155 through killspencer.com.

Did you know that there’s a Fisher Space Pen for your backpack?


Fisher Space Pens haven’t been on my radar for awhile, but I happened to see an image of one on Pinterest the other day that reminded me of an updated version of the Inka Pen that I reviewed over 10 years ago. So I clicked over to the Fisher Space Pen site and was greeted by a variety of pen that I didn’t know they carried, including the Backpacker Pen.

The Fisher Space Pen Backpacker pen has an anodized aluminum shell that is available in five colors including the blue version that you see above.

It features a two-piece design that keeps the pen relatively compact at 3.92 inches when it’s closed and 5.41 inches when it’s open. There’s also a keyring attached to the cap so you can easily attach it to a carabiner.

The Backpacker Pen uses Fisher’s pressurized ink cartridges that are known to allow writing in almost any temperature and angle.

What is your favorite pocket pen? I’m on the hunt for a new one but am too picky because everything I try feels inferior to the Big Idea Design Ti Arto that’s my current favorite desk pen. I’m such a fan of Pilot G2 refills, that most other pens make me feel like I’m writing with sludge.

The Fisher Space Pen Backpacker pens are $20 each when purchased directly from the Fisher Space Pen site, but you can get them for slightly less through Amazon.

Victorinox SwissTool BS comes in every guy’s favorite color


I don’t want to stereotype an entire gender, but I feel like it’s safe to say that when given a choice of colors for gadgets and tools, a typical male will almost always choose black. If you’re one of those typical males and are looking for a new multi-tool, look no further than the Victorinox SwissTool BS.

The SwissTool BS is made of blackened oxide steel that not only gives it a cool stealthy ninja vibe, but the finish also protects the steel against corrosion.

The 5-inch long Victorinox SwissTool BS multi-tool has 29 functions that include blades, saws, files, screwdrivers, pliers, a chisel and more.

For more info visit Victorinox where you can buy this tool for $200. If you feel like that is too spendy, you can buy a similar version of this multi-tool in plain steel on Amazon for about half the price.
