NEW! Bushcraft / Survival / Hunting Paracord Tool - Farson Blade Survival Tool - From Fremont Knives - YouTube

I've watched the video and see this tool as merely another tricksy encumbrance which, like many other similar items will be destined to live in a drawer.
I fail to see any advantages this has over a conventional knife which I'm sure can cut an apple equally well. If you already carry a Folder and a fixed blade then why bother with this?
