NaviTool

Rather large and awkward as multi-purpose tools go, the NaviTool was the economy model in the Schrade "Intelligent Equipment" line that also included the i-Quip. Neither were very popular at the time. Despite the clumsiness of its design, the NaviTool embodies a quality of construction one came to expect from the old Schrade Cutlery company. Schrade closed its doors in 2004, and for a brief time production of all tools stopped. Taylor Brands has since bought the company, and moved all production to China. The drop in quality is noticable.
