I so enjoy your reviews! I was getting excited about the folding spork/spoon - until you demonstrated its obvious flaw! What a mess! Thank you for taking the time to show this!
That folding utensil had me chuckling good when it spilled out the back end. One wonders if anyone in house tests ideas before sending for manufacture.
@@daphnedeviI have set of aluminium traveling spoon, fork and knife from PRIMUS brand. It is very lightweight - about 25 grams. The spoon and the fork become my EDC about a year ago. It realy works, not this plastic utensil shit!
Absolute best spinning top you can find is a read head from an old VCR. They need to spin at 1000 rpm plus & maintain a consistent rpm so they are balanced & have some nice mass.
I once was on a long train ride and forgot my travel utensils. Had to improvise a spoon to eat my instant porridge, so I cut it out of the bottle, and secured with a zip tie in the middle. I think it worked better than the "Unitensil" 😂
Jon and Jamie, Thank you for another interesting and entertaining EDC gear review video! Your "Pros & Cons" assessment and demos are really helpful in getting acquainted with newly released gear and whether the featured item would make a good addition to one's EDC gear. Cheers to you both!
I love the magnetic stacking concept, it would be really useful if there was a pliers layer as sometimes you want to hold something with pliers while using a screwdriver or hex bit and this would enable that use case.
I was wondering where he was and then he popped out! Such fun videos. I have the larger Glow Rhino and it works great. One on my keys, one on my bag of quick go bag. I had looked at the Wuben before, but it just seemed like too much going on and I hate micro-USB and the ink was ridiculous.
I actually have the folding spoon/fork, and have used it a couple times on trips (never for soup though). It was great for mac & cheese, cereal, yogurt, etc. I wouldn't want to use it every day, but considering it weighs practically nothing, costs practically nothing, and and takes up practically no space, it's definitely worth it for me to throw in a travel pack to use in a pinch.
The Windeler - things with strong magnets in my pocket tend to gather all sorts of small metal debris or latch onto anything that's metal that's near me or in my pockets. It tends to become a PITA when you go to get something out your pocket, like keys, and you get a bunch of other items that have all latched together because of the magnet.
I used to think magnets on EDC items was a good idea, until I started losing flashlights to chairs and metal doors. Now I try to avoid magnets on my EDC.
Omg… so fun, loved the kitchen and smoke test. Those utensils were such a joke… why someone actually testing is much better than a chit chat about purported abilities. I have the GeeKey… along with the bowl the sharp package edge and file are both a joke. I’ve used the wrench twice while traveling and it came in clutch… it also got through security internationally and domestically about 6x with no fuss. Side note, instead of that silly magnetic multitool, the obvious alternative would be to just carry the sleeker streamlined Compact… a top 3 favorite of mine, thanks to you. 😄
If the glass breaker is carbide, you don't have to generate force. Just a gentle tap or push will break a window. I tested mine and it works very well.
I like the idea of using magnets such as in the Tool Stack. By the way, thank you for introducing me to the Nano Clip by Smart Key in a previous video. The Nano Clip secures my Leatherman Micra nicely in the fifth pocket.
I got the Windeler on KS and agree that having many tools would quickly make for an unwieldy EDC. However the tools are superbly crafted, the knife almost flawless in execution and I love anything with magnets so it ticked all the boxes.
If you’re eating something, like those noodles, that comes with a foil cover, you can improvise a spoon with the foil. Not a perfect spoon, but one that works at least as well as that flat fork/spoon combo.
Definitely some unusual products, appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how some of them work (or don’t). Glass breakers seem to be the new accessory that all tools must have, similar to bottle openers a few years ago.
That seax folder looks really nice! It's like a three way lovechild of an sheffield Barlow, EKA swing blade/sword peasant and a seax! I love the way it looks♡
Did Jamie got back to smoking for the purpose of testing one feature of one product for one video? Now that's dedication! Great stuff as usual, guys 😁Had me smiling throughout the video, and also some interesting gear!
Jonathan thank you for that interesting and informative video! I appreciate your reviews and insight as well as your humor! Keep them coming!! Cheers, Shannon
Hey Jon 👊 I saw this mini 'grenade' with an explosive 💥 price a few weeks ago and decided it just didn't give me enough value, to justify it. However, you've presented & both 'tested' some interesting products... 😉 Thanks for sharing guys. Atb Gus 👍
5:20 When I forgot my fork, I just plucked two thin and preferably dry branches and was eating with them as chopsticks. Which is probably where chopsticks come from...
LOL, $90 - $100 for that little Eggie thing - no way. Seems pretty useless to me. (Update: And couldn't you get something(s), for less money that do the same thing and probably do it better? You're not going to get much torque out of that little egg shaped thing. Or just use the $100 to buy groceries, lol.
I agree that it's pricey. I'm not sure how a screwdriver with an added small blade is useless though. I suppose if you never need a screwdriver or knife then you could argue that. Quite the stretch though!
This would make more sense if they offered at least an optional Phillips head screwdriver to replace either the glass breaker or knife blade (which would be TSA illegal).
Thanks for a great round up Jon and Jamie. I can't remember the last time I had the tighten a Phillips head screw, with Pozi being so ubiquitous in the UK now. When will companies pick up on this, especially for their products aimed at the European market.
Great as always! Not just the detailed information, but the entertainment value is always high on your videos as well! I bet all of these items would fit easily in Linus's sack. . . 😀
I thought that too. But then I thought, if I'm going to try to hold a tiny glass-breaker against a piece of glass and then try to hit it with a hammer, why am I not just hitting the glass with the hammer? 😆
@@fredfinger7092 I was thinking more of hit it with my work laptop. 😂. Even my shoe at a push. Be good to see what would work. One of those things you hope you never need but so small it would be wrong not to have on your keys or in your pocket. Hmmm 🤔
@@secondintime1118 I hear you... but I still think I'd just smack the glass with the corner of the computer in that scenario. Of course in actuality, I keep a small rescue tool in the car with a carbide tip (and I would bet you do as well)... that's the place I think I might ever need a glass breaker.
I had the Wuben pen and it broke in under a month. Tried to contact them but they didn’t give a toss. So many of these Chinese companies have very poor customer service
HA! I always enjoy watching, and if I were in the UK I'd def be walking around with the 2" meat cleaver friction folder:) Laughing at the absurd laws and the fact that the credit card Victorinox blade is illegal:) JEEZ! It's moments like that when I say to myself as an American, it could always be worse I guess:) HA!
What caught my attention was the billetspin gambit coin because I'm currently using my benchmade 945 as a knife/fidget multitool. Have to say though, even as a benchmade enjoyer $75+ for the coin and $125+ for the body kind of hurts.
That Wuben pen/light could be vastly improved by switching to USB-C and losing that silly feature which rotates the pen and glass breaker. Doing so could allow both a bigger battery and a bigger ink refill.
For me the best Leatherman has been the FUSE… small and light, but capable of anything…. I use one for more than 12 years , and i already have a replacement since they start to be difficult to find
I very much enjoy your videos but most of the things you present is beyond the reach of any normal worker. Would be nice to see reviews of things everyone can buy. All the best from Gestur from Sweden.
LOL on the UK knife laws. Here in Kansas & Missouri not only can we carry any kind of knife we want we can also carry any type of firearm we want as well - and without needing to get a permit for it. Everyone here carries a pistol more than they do a knife. I carry a Benchmade Bugout in a belt sheath on my left and a Sig P365XL 9mm pistol w/RMR on my left.
Watched a few of your videos previously, but just subscribed as I was reminded by the little character reminder, just thought I'd let you know that works :D
Wouldn't the Eggie fall foul of UK knife laws? - Surely it'd be classed as a fixed blade (even if it's tiny), which could make it an embarrassing way to get locked up for a knife crime 😂
A lot of things I bought and a couple from this list that you mentioned and have made things so much better surprisingly 😂especially for the military especially the glow rhino it’s actually pretty convenient!
Gosh, i was thinking Germany has some crazy knife laws (And yep: We do...), but the UK some-magically-how manages to get one up on us on this one. Sorry for your knife laws, but thanks for the interesting video.
Only worse I think. Bottle openers can be quite practical for some of my non German friends, but glass breakers you will realistically only ever need in your car, if you are worried about that, attach one to your door, easier to grab and it's an actual glass breaker, not a spork knife combo with flashlight glass breaker and bottle opener that also wipes your ass.
I think the way you're supposed to use the glass breaker is to take it and press it up on the glass firmly and that very sharp fine tip should shatter the glass.
I mean... that glow rhino... the only way I can think of using that glass breaker is if you have something to wedge into the keyring and have a handle to add weight and leverage
I so enjoy your reviews! I was getting excited about the folding spork/spoon - until you demonstrated its obvious flaw! What a mess! Thank you for taking the time to show this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That folding utensil had me chuckling good when it spilled out the back end. One wonders if anyone in house tests ideas before sending for manufacture.
There actually exists a knife/fork combo in a credit card form factor.
But I forgot the name.
@@daphnedeviI have set of aluminium traveling spoon, fork and knife from PRIMUS brand.

It realy works, not this plastic utensil shit!
@@MSkachenite thanks… looks like a nice bit of kit. 🤠
I'm pretty sure anyone interested in the pipe feature of the key is not going to be putting tobacco in it.
People use it to smoke marijuana too
Strange thing though to have in a tool like this!
@@JonGadget I'm guessing it is about creating a secondary market for a niche product.
@@mcrobielord1503 oh, do people do that?
You’ve crack-ed it
Always enjoy your videos. Having Jamie pop in here and there adds an extra dimension which I also enjoy. Thanks.
5:15 "comes out the other end, as this will be very shortly, I imagine..." 😂😂😂
Absolute best spinning top you can find is a read head from an old VCR.
They need to spin at 1000 rpm plus & maintain a consistent rpm so they are balanced & have some nice mass.
The most unusual part of this video was McDonalds Ice cream machine actually working.
🤣
🤣😂🤣😂 Truth!
Well in the Netherlands it always work .
So its really a usa problem lol.

It does work well 👍 thanks for the feedback.
A spork for instant noodle soup is as effective as a foldable knife for a yoghurt.
Thanks for your honesty on these (mostly forgettable) EDC items......
I got the Windeler on KS and agree that having many tools would quickly make for an unwieldy EDC. However the tools are superbly crafted, the knife almost flawless in execution and I love anything with magnets so it ticked all the boxes.
Loved that subtle humor (humour in this case) at 18:48. A bespoke bike tool... nice one.
er....that must have been very subtle!
@@JonGadget Be "spoke" bike tool...
Loved your testing on this vid 😂
Good to know 👍
The spark fob is great, but I really wish they'd remove that glass breaker tip. It seems like it'd poke a hole in your pocket.
They don't.
I think it would be OK
If you’re eating something, like those noodles, that comes with a foil cover, you can improvise a spoon with the foil. Not a perfect spoon, but one that works at least as well as that flat fork/spoon combo.
I've done this several times for yogurt when I forgot a spoon.
I don't know if this is going to work but I think you can actually tilt the cup to finish off the remaining milk shake using the Ka-Bar Spoon/Straw.
The scales on that last knife are nice, I didn’t know olive wood was that pretty.
I've shopped on raven forge for years and spent thousands!! Well worth it!!
I love that meat cleaver knife! I’m a fan of brass and the whole aesthetic is top notch.
I always make a point of swiping those McDonalds straws for their carefully calibrated thickshake diameter, which the Kabar doesn't have 😁
Yes!
Definitely some unusual products, appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how some of them work (or don’t).
Glass breakers seem to be the new accessory that all tools must have, similar to bottle openers a few years ago.
Who's breaking glass that much?
@@aaronwatkins8973 IKR? Nobody's even stealing radios these days. It's all about those catalytic converters now.

OMG Jon you should do stand-up comedy.When you interacted with Jamie you slayed me!😂

Great video as always. Have a nice weekend guys 👍🏻
Thanks and you too.
Thank you for another interesting, informative and as well amusing video! I always enjoy watching both of you and finding some inspiring ideas.
Finally a new video from John. Keep it up !
Thanks 😊
I think the K-bar spoon would be better suited for a bowl of cereal to drink up the milk at the end. 🥣 I’ll have to buy one just to annoy my wife!😂

Interesting items and presentation was great. I can't imagine wanting any of them, especially for the prices, except for the light.
Great stuff as normal thanks. The glass breaker can be used by placing tip on the glass and hit it with something. 👍🏼

9:49 The Ka-Bar Spork is a great bit of kit and has many uses.
Wow your vlog is spectacular and entertaining.
Keep up the excellent work.
Take care from Montreal, Quebec 😊
The blade on the key multi tool is a tin opener, you hook under tin seam and pierce with blade.
Very cool, loved this video.

If you tilt the cup I believe you can sip out the last of the shake with the Spoon/straw

lol!!! that forkspoon!!
The Geekey is best of them.
Red and blues will get you in a lot of trouble in the US but red flashing or yellow flashing would be solid
are glassbreakers the new bottle opener? 😂
Only worse I think. Bottle openers can be quite practical for some of my non German friends, but glass breakers you will realistically only ever need in your car, if you are worried about that, attach one to your door, easier to grab and it's an actual glass breaker, not a spork knife combo with flashlight glass breaker and bottle opener that also wipes your ass.
The Geekey can also be used as a straw to drink a tiny bowl amount of milkshake.
UK knife laws sound like a real treat.
Have one of the gambit coins and they are cool!!
I think the way you're supposed to use the glass breaker is to take it and press it up on the glass firmly and that very sharp fine tip should shatter the glass.
I mean... that glow rhino... the only way I can think of using that glass breaker is if you have something to wedge into the keyring and have a handle to add weight and leverage
The Windeler actually looks pretty good and so does the Geekey. I'm not so sure about those spoon things though, loooool
