I bought this several months ago before the camping season started, and it never leaves my trusty vehicle (Honda Element). It’s small and light and could certainly be the one tool you need for a hiking trip. The blade is very sharp, and the blunt end can be used for hammering in stakes or anything a hammer would do really. On my last camping trip I used it to cut everything from twigs, to logs up to 3 inches thick with no problem at all. If you don’t want to listen to me though, read it from a pro at

In my opinion Fresh Garlic should go into just about everything, and this little tool makes it as easy and clean to do just that. An essential kitchen tool, the garlic twist makes a messy job effortless. It’s made entirely out of hard plastic, so after placing entire cloves inside to peel and mince (a rewarding sight) it rinses right off, but don’t take my word for it.
