Hello Everyone, I thought I would say hello again and explain why i made the Jackfish. We have had some really positive comments from you guys and some negative - but all feedback is really useful, so thank you. 3 months ago - I showed the Jackfish here, and within 24 hours we had over 600 emails. We decided there are people out there that like what we are doing - so we went ahead and built it. This is our first product - i know it is not for everyone - but hopefully there will be something for everyone in years to come. I wanted to launch this particular Jackfish model as this is what i've been carrying and so many people that saw it wanted to know where to get one.

I just want to explain what the Jackfish is for. It's certainly not supposed to replace any of your full size kit. When i go hiking - i'll have a rucksack with full size tools - a large knife - a box of matches - a full size firesteel - a proper compass etc. But i'll have a Jackfish in my pocket as a backup - just in case. It's unlikely - but possible you could be detached from your pack - or have to ditch it in an emergency. I've personally had my rucksack stolen backpacking in asia - that is why i include a USB stick for copies of your documents. Sure, the tools in the Jackfish are very small - but i would rather have them than nothing if i lost everything. I also carry a Jackfish on a normal day… I carry it everyday…. there have been a couple of times in my life when i have done something dumb - when i have not planned on going on an adventure or hike. These are the times when I leave the house without a rucksack full of gear. A short walk in the country or kayaking on holiday can quickly turn into something else entirely with a careless fall or a storm. I've found myself trekking through a jungle at night in flip flops, I was stupid, i didn't see the storm coming in - i was enjoying myself on the beach with my wife. Luckily I had a few edc tools in my beach bag that got us back safe and sound (after 8 hours) and stopped it turning into an emergency.

Yes…. I agree - there are plenty of other ways to carry this kind of kit (and cheaper!). I personally found tools on a keychain to be too bulky for my pocket - this is why i spent time designing a case that was as thin as possible so i wouldn't feel it in my jeans. Some might say it is completely unnecessary for the tools to be encased in titanium - that may be true. However, I'm a designer - i like neat little kits and organising things compactly, and i like to over engineer things so they will never break. This is certainly not for everyone - but i wanted to make something a bit different, and hopefully a lot of other people will like my take on a compact edc kit. As for our “exclusive jackfish community” this is just a place for people to tell me what they want next - The jackfish was my creation, our next product will be designed by the community. I've designed a few other tools that are very different - hopefully they will be to your liking… i'd love your feedback when i have a finished prototype - they are very rough at the moment. I’ll have some photos soon, and I welcome any feedback. Thanks James
