{CLOSED}

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Melissa and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Melissa at Outnumbered 3 to 1 daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs – that is two chances for you to win!
Summer is here and outdoor festivities have begun! If you like to fish, hunt, or go camping, then you will be excited to hear about Columbia River Knife & Tool. I first found out about them when Melissa introduced me to them. Luckily they wanted us to help spread the word about their wonderful products! I was asked to choose something for review, and I knew exactly what I wanted. I am always in need of scissors when I am out and about it seems, and a knife always comes in handy too. I wanted a multi-tool that had both of these. I chose the Cicada Multi-Tool.

The Cicada™ is another innovative tool in the I.D. Works™ line, designed by Dana Bainbridge and Joseph Sundby of Roundhouse Media in Portland, Oregon. This small oval contains a high carbon steel pen knife blade that is Razor-Sharp and useful for many cutting tasks. It also has a small precision scissors. It’s not designed for big jobs, but it comes in handy for cutting and trimming.
Just push the button forward and it’s a bright little LED flashlight, really useful in dark entryways.
There’s also a very productive bottle opener for your favorite sodas and microbrews.
You can carry the Cicada on a key ring and it will be there to light the way and be ready to go to work when you need it.
It also comes with an injection-molded carry caddy. The caddy’s stainless steel clip has a special retaining lip that will keep it firmly attached to personal flotation devices.
You can also carry the Cicada in your pocket or purse, and use the clip as a money clip.
I absolutely love this little thing. It is lightweight and just the perfect size to keep in my purse {I love the lightweight feature, as I have enough stuff weighing down my purse, thank you very much!}. In addition to the scissors and knife I was so excited about initially, I also am thrilled with the LED light. I think that is something every woman should have with her. For men, this will be a handy tool to have too. It will easily fit in a pocket, or there is even the option of carrying it on a keyring and clipping it on a belt loop, or a flotation device. A bottle opener is on it too {now THAT is always handy:}.
Columbia River Knife & Tool carries quite a few must-have products for both indoor and outdoor. Pocket, survival, tactical and hunting knives are only a small portion of all they have to offer.
Lucky you! The nice folks at Columbia River Knife & Tool are letting me give away the same Cicada Multi-Tool that I reviewed above!
THE GIVEAWAY is now closed.
One winner received a Cicada Multi-Tool from Columbia River Knife & Tool {$29.99 ARV}!
