The MCG13 Stainless
For those who want to go a different route in pocketknife department, the MCG13 is an excellent change of pace. It’s a knife, but it’s much more, like a much more compact version of the Leatherman.
Made from 440 Stainless, the MCG13 holds and edge like a champ, good enough for skinning small game even. But what really sets it apart is that it also functions as an LED flashlight, limb saw, scissors, magnifying glass, etc.
Seriously, how many times could you have used a pocketknife with a flashlight function in your life? Probably hundreds…
We love multitools, but you’ve got to admit that the Leatherman has its limitations. The two primary complaints are that A.) It’s not really pocket sized, and B.) The tools are nowhere near as capable as their full-sized counterparts.
The MCG13 solves the size problem, while still retaining many of the light-duty hand tools that made the Leatherman famous. Plus, it’s on sale for only $6.95 right now.
