The new Hex from New Zealand company KEA Outdoors looks like an unassuming folding EDC (everyday carry) knife upon first glance.

Designed to give you more of what you'll use and less of the tagalong bulk you won't, the new Tacray MT1 multitool leaves behind the beefy, flip-out-stuffed body in favor of a thin open chassis carrying a pair of implements.
