Story


Our journey to create The Flounder 2.0 began in September 2023, right after the successful campaign for Flounder 1.0 concluded. We were thrilled by the overwhelming support and feedback we received. Inspired by your suggestions and our own aspirations for an even better product, we embarked on the adventure of developing Flounder 2.0.

We set out to create an EDC (Everyday Carry) tool that crams as much functionality as possible into the smallest, lightest, and most stylish package. The Flounder 2.0 isn’t just practical—it’s a sleek accessory that looks great whether it’s hanging on your keys or worn as a necklace pendant.

After extensive testing and refinement, we’ve crafted a tool that is almost the same size as a coin, weighs only 33 grams, and packs in 13 essential tools for all your daily needs. Imagine having a toolkit right at your fingertips, ready to tackle whatever life throws your way, all in a beautifully designed piece.

In the table below, you’ll find a detailed comparison of the upgrades we have made from the first generation to the second generation of The Flounder. We have significantly enhanced its capabilities, increasing the number of functions from seven to thirteen, effectively doubling its utility. These enhancements ensure that The Flounder 2.0 meets a wider range of everyday needs, making it an even more indispensable tool.

We wanted to incorporate more functions without increasing the size. To achieve this, we opted for a two-piece design, which allowed us to nearly double the functionality without enlarging the tool. This approach maximized efficiency and utility while keeping the tool compact and lightweight.

The journey was challenging, but the result is a tool that truly embodies the EDC concept. The Flounder 2.0 is a multifunctional marvel that meets our high standards for both functionality and design. Let’s dive into the details of the Flounder 2.0 to explore the amazing features it offers.

The Flounder 2.0 is crafted from GR5 Titanium, the ideal choice for EDC tools. Titanium is incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry without any added burden. It’s also extremely strong, ensuring durability and the ability to withstand daily wear and tear while maintaining its sleek appearance. Additionally, titanium is highly resistant to rust, ensuring that your Flounder 2.0 will stay in top condition even after extensive use. This combination of lightness, strength, and corrosion resistance makes GR5 Titanium the perfect material for a tool you can rely on every day.

The Flounder 2.0 is packed with 13 practical tools to assist you in your daily activities:
