Product Review

Knife-designer Dmitry Sinkevich refuses to draw a sharp distinction between work tools and objects of art. Closed, you would never know there was a handy blade inside, but the Pub specializes in multipurpose function with unmatched discreet carry. At first glance, it’s easy to notice the incredibly handy and useful bottle opener and the large lanyard hole. With a closer look, users also notice a pry bar and slotted screwdriver tip. Sinkevich’s modified sheepsfoot blade takes full advantage of a compact design. To reveal the stonewashed blade, push down on what looks like the key ring attachment. The blade emerges out of the compact handle. Keep pushing and the blade will swing all the way out, ready for use. The handle has a sleek blue front and stainless steel back. When open, the handle is large enough for a comfortable grip on this slip-joint manual knife. When closed, the Pub measures less than 3 inches long, small enough to fit on a crowded key ring.
