When you want to travel light, here’s a world-class solution that would
have delighted Marco Polo. It’s called the Crossover™, and it’s
a premium-quality shears, kitchen knife, bottle opener, lid lifter/screwdriver,
and grill cleaner. Yes, others have tried this combination, but none have done
it as well in a functional, lightweight package.
In the outdoors, heavy-duty
shears come in handy. On a tossing boat in the open ocean, they are far safer
than a knife when venting your salmon or steelhead catch. And they are essential
when cleaning your duck, pheasant, grouse, goose or turkey. The Crossover has
a special boning notch on the shears, which makes preparing birds much easier
and faster.
Later, when you need a camp
kitchen knife, simply twist the Crossover handle to release the scissors pair,
press the flexible scissors finger loop back into the handle, and you have a
quality Razor-Sharp 5.5” knife capable of slicing and dicing your next
meal. It’s a chef’s knife without compromise— well balanced,
perfectly sized for every chore from slicing steaks to chopping onions.
The Crossover also has a
jar and bottle opener, plus an extended lid lifter/screwdriver that has dozens
of uses around the camp, from opening jars and bottles to tightening screws.
The Crossover is built with
full-tang high-carbon stainless steel frame underlying the knife/scissors, with
ergonomic injection-molded Zytel® handles. The scissors finger loop is made
of flexible TPR with a stainless steel strap core for long life.
Unlike conventional shears,
the Crossover can be fully cleaned while disassembled, so nothing collects at
the pivot point.
You also have a precision
scissors which can be handy if you suddenly need to trim clothing, tents or
sails.
As a bonus, the Crossover
also has a unique semicircular notch near the shears tip which is designed as
a grill scraper.
On the trail, the Crossover
has some limitations. It won’t fill out your tag, it won’t dry your
socks by the campfire, and it won’t stay up all night to watch for bears.
But other than that, it’s the perfect outdoor companion.
