How's this look for a field survival tool?

This is sweet looking:


"Whether you're a regular in the heart of the jungle or simply a recreational camper, you'll want to make the Jungle Tool(tm) yours. Fully assembled, the pick and shovel are great for digging a fire pit or latrine. A few twists and turns of the wrist exposes a razor sharp knife with an aggressive sawtooth spine. Need to get food? The bottom handle houses fishing line, hooks, sinkers and a slingshot attachment - not to mention emergency matches, bandages, safety pins, a cutting cable, sewing needle and pencil. Unlike most shovels, this one is made of stainless steel. The handle is lightweight aluminum under a textured KratonĀ® rubber grip for durability and control, and the entire tool stores away in a 8" x 4 -1/2" x 2" ballistic nylon pouch with belt loop. Perfect for meeting the strict space requirements of backpackers!"

Kim Breed (MSgt ret., 5thSF) conducted an evaluation of the Walther tool for Blade Magazine. His review was positive and liked it well enough that he threw it in his personal hunting kit. When I was visiting him I told him I thought it looked "dorky" and questioned him on it (Kim's great about putting bad news between the lines in his articles, but there were no hints about hidden problems in the article). He handed it to me and said that it was great for a light duty camp tool that was light/small enough to be convenient to carry all the time (the gun you have...). Satisfied my questions, played with it a little in the house for a few minutes went on to the Mad Persian that he was building for me.
