Can’t imagine why I would need to zip my shoes in half and carabiner clip them to my pack. Still a cool idea.

Cool little knife with some extras. Not sure about this company but I’ve heard they aren’t bad for a cheap knife ($43 from GreatwallOutdoor.com). Their 704 model is a popular EDC. I love the engrish on the sanrenmu site, like “foding knife” on the top of the page.
