Abstract
A combination tool that at one end has a knife and at the other end has a three pronged fork. The two sides are separated by a bridge with a loop attached thereto. One side of the tool has a thin hollow sheath that covers the side when not in use whereas the opposing side has a removable, locking handle that covers it when not in use. Both the sheath and the removable, locking handle are wrapped in paracord for use when deploying the tool and for having paracord at hand. A specialized, removable cleat is attachable and removable from the tool that provides notches that are also found on the top edge of the knife end and the top and bottom prongs of the fork end and also to provide a blunt surface that prevents the paracord from being cut when wrapped around the knife blade.
Claims7
A combination tool comprising:
- a first end having a knife disposed at said first end, said knife having a sharp bottom edge and a non-sharp top edge, said non-sharp edge having a first plurality of notches therealong first said plurality of notches being of sufficient depth to secure therein paracord that has been wrapped around said tool;
- a second end having a multi-pronged spear disposed at said second end, said multi-pronged spear having a first top prong and a second bottom prong, said top prong having a second plurality of notches therealong said second plurality of notches being of sufficient depth to secure therein paracord that has been wrapped around said tool and said bottom prong having a third plurality of notches therealong said third plurality of notches being of sufficient depth to secure therein paracord that has been wrapped around said tool wherein said first end and said second end combine to form a continuous integral one piece separated by a bridge;
- a removable cleat attachable to said tool adjacent said bridge wherein said cleat has a stabilizing leg having a first side and a second side wherein said first side and said second side of said stabilizing leg create a space into which said tool is secured proximate said bridge and wherein said cleat has a protective leg positioned substantially 90 degrees from said stabilizing leg, said protective leg having a first side and a second side wherein said first side and said second side of said protective leg define a groove into which said sharp edge of said knife is secured therein and wherein said first side and said second side of said protective leg each contain a fourth plurality of notches wherein a joint separates said stabilizing leg and said protective leg of said cleat thereby allowing said cleat to be attachable to and removable from said tool;
- whereby said first set of notches is situated in alignment with and substantially parallel to said fourth set of notches and said second set of notches is situated in alignment with and substantially parallel to said third set of notches thereby providing securing slots for when paracord is wrapped therearound.
