Daily utility meets design in EDC multitools. And here at Yanko Design, we have this knack for recognizing the best tools for you, which would provide advanced features and excellent value when you need them. In the market flooded with multitools that are designed to fold and twist, Prometheus Design Werx has surprised the demanding with the stunning idea of the SPD Ti-Spork Chop – a multitool in its own unibody design.
While multitools that fold and feature pull-out accessories from the body are a common sight, it is unusual for a multitool to arrive in a one-piece design with construction that’s durable enough to withstand whatever you can throw at it. Looking at the Ti-Spork Chop, you can instantly count it out as a viable pocket tool, but spare a thought and read further before you arrive at a conclusion.
The look of the Ti-Spork Chop is self-explanatory of what the design entails. But the first thing that can disturb many is how to fit that EDC into the pocket. To ensure that it is possible and effortless, the one-piece multitool features a pocket clip to hold it in place inside the pocket. And when you’re unsure of having it in the pocket, the tool’s lanyard hole makes carrying it worry-free. The look may not obviously suggest, but this tool has six built-in functions.
It obviously starts with the combination of a spoon and fork in the front, which clearly wins it the word ‘Spork’ (combination of spoon and fork) in its name. Besides, making it a valuable EDC for casual campers and serious adventurers are features like the bottle opener, box/can opener, and a prybar. Of course, the pocket clip on one side and the lanyard in the middle are other notable options that make the tool even more handy.
Describing various scenarios in which the multitool can be used, the company notes, “Whether you’re shoveling canned peaches, stirring your precious hot cup of instant coffee with powdered creamer in some remote, dangerous corner of the world, or opening a bottle of Jarritos, our Ti-Spork Chop has got you covered.” It’s “A titanium spork to rule them all…” the company website reads.
All these tools are packed on a Ti-Spork Chop that’s milled from a single piece of 6AL-4V grade-5 titanium. The construction makes it highly durable and exceptionally resistant to corrosion. The design, as opposed to that of other folding multitools, ensures that it is easy to clean. Weighing roughly 30g and measuring about 4.72 inches long, the lightweight but incredibly robust Prometheus Design Werx multitool is available on the company website for only $79.
The 58mm Swiss Army Knife has occupied pockets for over a century with the same basic formula: red plastic scales, a handful of tools, and a design language that never needed to change. Victorinox perfected compact utility decades ago, and the format became so synonymous with everyday carry that entire generations never questioned whether it could evolve. But that permanence also created a constraint. Once you chose your tool configuration, you were locked in. Swapping scales meant glue, risk, or permanent modification.
Keyport’s Versa58 system breaks that constraint without breaking the knife. The platform introduces a snap-on interface that attaches to any 58mm SAK’s existing rivets, transforming fixed scales into swappable modules. Add a rechargeable LED light, a mini pen, a USB-C flash drive, or a deep-carry pocket clip in seconds. Remove them just as fast. The knife stays intact, the heritage remains untouched, but the capabilities expand in ways the original designers never imagined. It’s modularity meeting tradition, and somehow both sides win.
The core of this entire system is a deceptively simple piece of spring steel. This patent-pending interface plate is the result of a full year of development and seven complete revisions, a process that speaks to the engineering challenge involved. The plate is engineered to flex just enough to click securely onto the mushroom-shaped rivets that hold a standard SAK together, the same ones hidden beneath the factory scales. The design had to be robust enough to handle repeated attachment cycles without loosening, yet gentle enough to avoid damaging the knife’s frame. It’s a tool-free, glue-free, and completely reversible process that takes seconds. This single component unlocks the entire platform.
Versa58 operates in two distinct universes. The first is as a direct upgrade to your existing Victorinox. You pop off the original scales and snap on the Versa58 modules you need for the day. The second universe is completely independent of the knife. Using a magnetic connector system called MagMount, any two modules can be attached to each other to create standalone tools. This dual functionality means you can either enhance the classic SAK you already own or build an entirely new, minimalist multi-tool from scratch. The system offers a level of flexibility that the 58mm format has never seen before.
The MagMount system is absolute genius, using three tuned neodymium magnets to create a crisp, satisfying connection. This allows for the quick assembly of pocketable rigs or keychain tools. You could, for instance, snap the flashlight module to the pen module for a compact, non-knife tool perfect for travel or restrictive environments. The magnetic pull is tuned for a secure hold while still allowing for smooth rotation and easy reconfiguration. It also introduces an addictive fidget factor, turning the act of customizing your carry into something tactile and engaging. It’s a smart design that expands the ecosystem beyond the knife itself.
Among the first wave of modules, the Clip Scale is likely to be the most celebrated. Machined from either 6061 aluminum or Grade 5 titanium, it finally adds a clean, low-profile pocket clip to the 58mm SAK. This has been a common request in the EDC community for years. Crucially, the clip is designed to be reversible and does not interfere with the knife’s keyring, a flaw seen in some aftermarket solutions. It’s paired with a V Scale for the front, which includes a multi-use slot designed to hold the original SAK’s toothpick or tweezers, ensuring you don’t lose core functionality.
The Pocket Flare module brings modern illumination to the platform. It’s a compact, USB-C rechargeable light with a beam tuned for close-range tasks. It offers three modes: a 3-lumen low beam with a 12-hour runtime, a 43-lumen high beam that runs for two hours, and a 45-lumen side light that acts as a lamp to brighten a small area. Because it uses the MagMount interface, you can also snap it onto any metal surface for hands-free lighting, which is incredibly useful for repairs or finding something in a dark tent.
Keyport also developed modules that bridge the analog and digital worlds. The Pen Module features a precision mini pen with a premium German Troika refill, offering a smooth writing experience without any rattle. For digital needs, there is a streamlined USB-C 3.0 flash drive module available in 64GB and 256GB capacities. This flip-out drive seamlessly integrates secure, portable storage into your pocket setup for documents, media, or backups. These additions transform the classic pocket knife into a tool that feels much more relevant to modern daily life.
Perhaps the most forward-thinking aspect of the Versa58 platform is its openness. Keyport will be selling standalone interface plates, inviting makers, modders, and machinists to design their own compatible modules. This opens the door for a community-driven ecosystem of custom tools built on the Versa58 standard. It’s a canvas for creativity, allowing anyone with an idea to contribute to the platform. This move could give the system incredible longevity and a range of options far beyond what Keyport could develop on its own.
Keyport has already outlined a roadmap for future modules, showing a long-term commitment to the system. Upcoming additions being explored include a Bluetooth locator, an NFC module for digital access or automation, a craft blade for precision cuts, and even a minimalist carrier for a Bic lighter. The plan is to build Versa58 into a comprehensive platform, not just a single product release. Backer feedback from the initial campaign will help shape which of these new tools get prioritized, making early adopters part of the development process.
The Versa58 system is available for backing on Kickstarter, with special pricing tiers for early supporters. The campaign offers several bundles, including the foundational Origin Bundle with the core scales starting at $39 and the more comprehensive Apex Bundle that adds the Pocket Flare module starting at $77. All modules and scales are available in either machined 6061 aluminum or the more premium Grade 5 titanium. The Versa58 ships globally starting August 2026.
You look at certain companies and just instantly a product comes to mind. When you hear the word Yamaha, the vast population thinks ‘Motorcycles’, when you hear Bose, you think ‘Speakers’, and when you hear Zippo, you instantly think of ‘Lighters’. Well, Yamaha also makes some top-notch pianos, Bose has an entire flourishing division of shock-absorbing truck seats, and Zippo also happens to make EDC tools!
Meet the Zippo Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert – a multitool designed to fit inside your lighter. The company basically looked at its iconic lighter and thought, ‘Hey, what if we developed modules for it?’ To that end, the Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert is a 4-bit multitool that fits right into your standard Zippo lighter case. Flip it open and instead of the flame or the burner, you’re greeted with a screwdriver that you can then use to tighten and loosen stuff, repair gadgets, and be a total tinkerer. The insert works intuitively, and doesn’t have any igniting abilities, which means this might be the only Zippo you can carry into an airport!
Now I’m not entirely sure what makes a man cooler – whipping out a lighter, or whipping out a screwdriver and fixing something… but Zippo has both those grounds covered. The Bit Safe Screwdriver Insert is a nifty EDC module that attaches into any spare Zippo case you may have lying around. It’s compatible with all Zippo Classic cases, as per the website, and provides storage for 3 bits, along with a mounting bracket for 1 bit. A magnetic insert holds all the bits in place, and to get working, all you need to do is just flip the lighter open and get rotating.
I recommend keeping the lighter case on for most activities (it looks cooler), but there are times when the lighter’s lid may come in the way. That’s when you just remove the Bit Safe insert and use it like a flat-grip driver. Put it back and the insert clicks into place, echoing a familiar Zippo user experience.
Each Bit Safe comes with 4 bits – #1 Phillips, #2 Phillips, #2 Flat, and T20 Torx. The outer shell itself is made from aluminum (with the famous Zippo lid hinge), while the bits themselves are made from tool-grade steel. The bits are your standard hex bits, so you could potentially swap them out for other bits that you constantly find yourself using.
The insert costs under $15 and makes for a pretty nifty piece of EDC. There’s a bit of an illusion at play here, as people just assume you’re pulling a Zippo lighter out of your pocket, only to reveal that it’s actually an EDC multitool. If you’re a Zippo aficionado, this insert’s a great way to make use of any old cases you may have lying around. Zippo, if you’re reading this, make a power bank insert next! Imagine flipping the lid open to reveal a USB-C port!
