Returning to Kickstarter for the 20th time, StatGear has this week launched its new pocket-sized everyday carry (EDC) flipper knife aptly named the Slinger. The new EDC pocket knife is now available to back via Kickstarter with early bird pledges available from $35 or roughly £27.
If all goes well and the campaign is successful, worldwide shipping is expected to take place during December 2013. Watch the promotional video below to learn more about the small pocketknife and its features, construction, and design.
Design Inspiration and Features
The design team responsible for the Slinger explains more about its inspiration and design. “The inspiration for the Slinger was based off the feedback we received from two of our past products, the Ausus Knife and the Pocket Samurai Keychain Knife. Both have been extremely well received and loved by many, but we had thousands of requests for a knife that was larger than the Pocket Samurai with similar top-quality specs to the Ausus.”
The Slinger EDC knife is designed to be both practical and durable, making it an ideal tool for a variety of everyday tasks. It features a high-quality stainless steel blade that ensures longevity and sharpness. The handle is ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip, making it easy to use for extended periods. Additionally, the knife includes a flipper mechanism that allows for quick and easy one-handed opening, a feature that is highly valued in EDC knives.
Community Feedback and Development
StatGear has a history of engaging with its community to refine and improve its products. The feedback from users of the Ausus Knife and the Pocket Samurai Keychain Knife played a crucial role in the development of the Slinger. Users appreciated the robust build and high-quality materials of the Ausus, while the compact size and portability of the Pocket Samurai were also highly praised. By combining these elements, StatGear has created a knife that meets the needs of a wide range of users.
For example, outdoor enthusiasts will find the Slinger to be a reliable companion for camping and hiking trips, thanks to its sturdy construction and versatile blade. Urban users, on the other hand, will appreciate its compact size and ease of carry, making it a convenient tool for everyday tasks such as opening packages or cutting rope.
