Hey Kickstarter adventurers! We are back with yet another creative design! We’ve been planning this reunion for over a year! Meet VersaLink – the pocket-sized titanium maestro that tames chaos into precision and nattiness. 

Ever found yourself rummaging through pockets for a screwdriver while your keys jab your thigh? Do bulky multitools mock your minimalist ideals? 

We love collecting tools… until we actually need to carry them. Traditional solutions force compromises:

  • Bulky multitools that weigh down pockets
  • Flimsy key rings that scatter keys like confetti
  • $500+ blades that hurt our souls when you need to use and even abuse them with tape & dirty works
  • Ordinary knives that get dull when you need surgical precision
  • Those dangling multi-tools that scream “garage sale find”, not “executive presence”
Less load, more lead.
  • A scalpel-sharp blade that slices Amazon packages like butter
  • A self-contained toolkit thinner than your car key fob
  • Keys stacked like piano keys – silent, slim, scratch-free
  • Self-luminous tritium vials helping quickly locate your keys in the dark

A sharp, easily interchangeable blade that’s perfect for slicing, trimming, and cutting with precision. The super-sharp, fine blade of a scalpel allows for detailed and accurate cuts, making it ideal for tasks that require precision, such as opening packages, cutting paper, or crafting.

  • Sustained Surgical-Grade Sharpness & Precision– Surgical-Grade Sharpness is no kidding. You can even use it for emergency trauma management.
  • Always Razor-Ready– Maintain optimal cutting performance without degradation. Our replaceable blade system ensures consistent edge geometry from first use to final replacement.
  • Cost-Effective Precision– Maximize savings with swappable blades. While traditional sharpening incurs hidden costs (high-quality sharpening tools + 5%to 20% annual blade steel loss), replacing a #11 blade costs wayyy less. Blade prices are so low as to be negligible.

*Each VersaLink comes with 10 stainless steel scalpel blades.

  •  Modular Functional Expansion– Achieve instant versatility with 5-second blade swaps between profiles: Standard Scalpel Style, Hook Shape, Mini Drop Blade, etc.
  • Legal Compliance– Designed for global EDC compliance: EU/UK legal when blade separated (UKCGA 139 compliant); TSA-approved when blade separated
  • Maintenance-Free Reliability– Eliminate sharpening labor while preserving blade integrity. Swapping blades preserves the original sharpness and precise angles—something manual sharpening can’t guarantee.

Integrated with both flathead (SL2.5) and Phillips head (PH0) for quick fixes, adjustments, and minor repairs. 

The bits are held in place by four ( two for each bit) magnet pieces, and you can feel free to change the bit specs depending on your daily routine.

  • Whether you’re at a picnic, BBQ, or spontaneous gathering, you’ll always be prepared to crack open a bottle without hunting for an opener.
  • Stop using random objects (lighters, keys, knives) to open bottles, which can damage your tools or even hurt your hands. A proper opener gets the job done cleanly.
  • Camping, hiking, or hanging by the beach? Having an opener built into your EDC means you’ll always have the right tool, even in the middle of nowhere.

Strong enough to handle tough prying tasks, whether it’s opening lids, removing nails, or tackling other small challenges. 

Stop using your fingernail for the staple!

It works, but it won’t hurt. The pry bar edge can also be used for a safe box cutter to avoid cutting the content inside the box/ express bag. You can also use it to gently pry open electronics or delicate items without leaving scratches or damage—something that would be impossible with a knife or key.

Keychain carabiners or keyrings work, but they are just not compact and organized enough. With VersaLink, keys are neatly stacked, reducing bulk and preventing them from tangling. Plus, the slim profile keeps keys in a compact form, making it easier to fit in pockets without creating a bulge.

It also prevents scratches or even damges: keys stored in the VersaLink are less likely to scratch other items, like your phone or wallet, in your pocket or bag. The structure also holds keys securely, reducing the risk of losing one accidentally.

The Titanium Armour for Your Keys

  • Magnetically Connected for Secure Storage – VersaLink’s tools are held firmly in place by strong magnets, ensuring they stay secure while allowing for effortless swapping and customization.
  • Adjustable System for Versatility – Includes three spindles—6mm, 9mm, and 15mm—allowing you to configure your setup based on your needs.
  • Brass Gaskets for Protection – Included to prevent your tools and keys from rubbing together, ensuring long-term durability and a sleek look.

Every kit comes with three precision-engineered pivot sleeves (4.1mm-13mm range) to accommodate configurations from single-key carry to robust 5-key/tool stacks. This covers 90% of EDC gear profiles.

Backers will also receive the medium-strength threadlocker to keep your configuration rock-solid. Perfect for those who want to set their EDC and forget it.

From Full-Function Tool to Key Organizer

You can also get an Empty VersaLink Skeleton to carry your own 3D-printed tools. Want to make them out of titanium too? Let us know what interests you! We’re always open to exploring practical EDC tools that can be integrated with VersaLink.

What if I want to carry more keys?

We have your covered! The standard pivot sleeves that come with the pledge are for 1, 3, and 5 keys, but if you want to carry more, just let us know in the comment, and we are open to make longer pivot sleeves for backers who need them.


*Note: For longer sleeves, we’ll also make the screws for the two scales longer, so this extension option will be available as a combo later in the survey.

Forged from the same alloy as jet engine blades, the 75.4g tool laughs at:

  • Lightweight – Offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it much lighter than steel but equally strong.
  • Strength – High tensile strength ensures durability even under extreme conditions.
  • Corrosion-resistant – Resists rust and corrosion, even in harsh environments like seawater or sweat exposure.
  • Biocompatible – Safe for skin contact, commonly used in medical implants due to its non-toxic nature.
  • Heat-resistant – Maintains structural integrity at high temperatures, suitable for aerospace and EDC applications.
  • Aesthetic – Naturally sleek and capable of various finishes like polished, bead-blasted, or anodized for a premium look.
  • Longevity – Extremely durable, ensuring products made from it last a lifetime.

When we’re designing a tool that needs to be precise, durable, and beautiful, not just any production method will do. We use CNC machining to craft VersaLink from aerospace-grade titanium, ensuring it delivers unmatched quality and flawless performance. 

Why CNC Machining?

  • Precision You Can Feel– Every VersaLink is crafted with microscopic accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit for every tool, blade holder, and skeleton. No loose parts. No rattling. Just smooth, seamless function.
  • Unbreakable Durability– CNC machining allows us to fully harness the strength of Grade 5 titanium, making VersaLink tough enough to handle the harshest conditions while staying lightweight and corrosion-resistant. This tool is built for life.
  • Clean Design with Sleek Finishes– CNC machining delivers those sharp, clean edges and that sleek, bead-blasted finish you love. It’s not just a tool—it’s a statement piece for your everyday carry.
  • Complex Features, Perfectly Integrated– From tritium vial slots to the modular key organizer and magnetic tool holders, CNC machining makes it possible to pack all this functionality into a pocket-sized masterpiece without adding bulk.
  • Consistent Quality, Every Time– Unlike traditional manufacturing, CNC machining guarantees that every piece of VersaLink meets the same high standard. You get top-notch quality, down to the tiniest detail.
  • Ready for the Future– Our CNC process gives us the flexibility to keep innovating. Want a new tool attachment or custom configuration? No problem. We can tweak and adapt designs with precision—no expensive retooling required.
From Raw Cut Blanks to Machined Piece

Hollow Skeleton

The hollow skeleton design makes the tool significantly lighter and easier to carry without sacrificing strength, ensureing a slim, keychain & pocket-friendly profile that reduces bulk while providing a secure grip during use. Beyond functionality, the design adds a modern, minimalist aesthetic that we all appreciate. 

Tritium Vial(s) for Easy Location in the Dark

The VersaLink features eight slots designed to fit 1.5 × 6 mm tritium vials or luminous inserts, allowing you to easily locate your tools and keys in the dark. If you opt to include tritium vials, we’ll install them for you prior to shipping, ensuring a hassle-free experience. So you don’t have to worry about how to install them or what glue to use.

If you choose the tritium vials, it glows from 12.5 to as long as 25 years, so you don’t need to worry about replacing them in a short term. If you do need help or just want to learn more, we’ll provide all the information you need.

Take Your Outfit to The Next Level

VersaLink isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement piece. Made from sleek, aerospace-grade titanium with a bead-blasted (or anodized, if we’re lucky!) finish, it takes your EDC from practical to iconic. It fits right in with polished business attire, rugged outdoor gear, or minimalist streetwear. The compact & practical design slips discreetly into your pocket, while self-luminous tritium vials add a futuristic glow—perfect for turning heads in dimly lit bars or on late-night adventures.

No more clunky tools ruining your silhouette; VersaLink keeps you sharp, organized, and ready to conquer chaos without sacrificing style. Because true versatility isn’t just about function—it’s about looking effortlessly unstoppable while you do it.

This tool was born out of frustration with bulky, impractical multitools that fail when you need them most. The creator, an avid outdoor enthusiast and design engineer, envisioned a tool that combined minimalism with maximum functionality.

“I wanted to solve a common problem: carrying multiple tools that were either too big or didn’t work well together. VersaLink is my answer to simplifying everyday tasks while maintaining the durability and aesthetic that EDC enthusiasts demand.”

With this design, the goal is to streamline your carry experience and empower you with a reliable tool that delivers in any situation—whether you’re hiking, fixing gear, or simply enjoying a drink with friends.
