Sometimes an idea hits you and it’s like, ''duh?!'', why didn’t we think of that earlier? Trango's Shark combines two useful and common climbing tools into one: a beautiful swept handle, stainless nut tool, and a razor-sharp knife. The blade is machined from surgical quality 440-C stainless with a serrated blade—perfect for sawing through the wad of slings that’s keeping you from clipping that fixed pin. While the locking blade can be opened and closed with one hand (duh!) it’s absolutely impossible to open when clipped to a carabiner (duh!).

The Trango Shark uses a side-lock mechanism to hold the blade in place once it's open. To close the blade, gently push the side locking mechanism out of the way way of the blade. When a full-size carabiner is through the carrying hole the blade can not accidently open. Be sure that your carabiner is large enough that the point of the blade is not exposed when you are carrying it.

• Don't cut yourself.
• Never run with a knife.
• Don't lick peanut butter off the blade.
• Not to be taken internally.
