Multi-Tools

Hacksmith Multi Tool

The Hacksmith multi tool is the Smith Blade, a 21-in-1 titanium multi-tool designed by Hacksmith Industries in Cambridge, Canada, that combines an M390 steel blade with 20 integrated tools in a lightweight Everyday Carry (EDC) format. The Smith Blade raised CA$15,364,185 from 38,323 backers on Kickstarter during a 25-day campaign from August 6 to August 31, 2025, making the Smith Blade one of the highest-funded multi-tool projects on the platform. Hacksmith Industries manufactures the Smith Blade in 4 models — the Smith Blade Pro Founders Edition, Smith Blade Pro, Smith Blade Standard, and Smith Blade Lite — and fulfills orders through the H.E.R.C. manufacturing facility. This guide covers the Smith Blade models and specifications, Kickstarter campaign results, manufacturing and fulfillment status, the Hacksmith Rewards program, and available knives and multi-tools on hacksmith.store.

Smith Blade Models and Specifications

Hacksmith Industries manufactures 4 Smith Blade models that differ in tool count, blade steel, handle material, and price point:

• Smith Blade Pro Founders Edition: the original 21-in-1 configuration with M390 blade steel and titanium handles, limited to 1,000 units produced exclusively for early Kickstarter backers
• Smith Blade Pro: the standard 21-in-1 configuration with M390 blade steel and titanium handles, the same tool set and materials as the Founders Edition without the limited production run
• Smith Blade Standard: a 21-in-1 configuration with the same tool count as the Pro at a lower price point
• Smith Blade Lite: a 14-in-1 reduced configuration that weighs less than the Pro and Standard models for lighter EDC carry

M390 blade steel is a powder metallurgy stainless steel with a hardness of 60 to 62 Rockwell C (HRC) that holds an edge longer than conventional stainless steels like 440C or 154CM. The M390 blade cuts through common materials including cordage, packaging, leather, and thin metals without frequent resharpening.

Smith Blade Tool Functions

The Smith Blade Pro 21-in-1 configuration integrates 21 individual tools into a single folding multi-tool body that includes a primary blade, pliers, wire cutters, screwdriver bits, a bottle opener, a can opener, a file, scissors, a saw, and specialty tools. The tool functions cover 3 use categories: cutting tasks (blade, scissors, saw, wire cutters), fastening tasks (screwdriver bits, pliers), and utility tasks (bottle opener, can opener, file). The bit driver accepts standard 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) hex bits for Phillips, flathead, Torx, and specialty fasteners. Hacksmith Industries provides a 3D-printable Torque T8 Bit Flag replacement that prints at home using Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 100% infill, delivering approximately 0.2 newton-meters (Nm) of torque.

Kickstarter Campaign Results

The Smith Blade Kickstarter campaign raised CA$15,364,185 (approximately $11.3 million United States Dollars or USD) from 38,323 backers against a CA$250,000 goal, reaching 6,146% of the funding target in 25 days. The campaign launched on August 6, 2025, and closed on August 31, 2025. Kickstarter designated the Smith Blade as a "Project We Love" in the Gadgets category.
