Still, there are places and occasions where a regular pocketknife is just too big. It's these times when keychain knives come in to play.

But the Luminoodle adds another option - a five foot strip of LED lights that is portable and flexible, and sort of like Christmas lights but....much brighter. It is totally waterproof and dustproof, IPX6 rated. You can hang it from trees, wrap it around objects, or stuff it into the diffused storage bag that doubles as a lantern.
