The CardSharp, Cutting Edge Design (literally) and Beautiful Packaging.

The CardSharp 2 from Iain Sinclair is a cool little functional utility knife that is beautifully incorporated into its package design.




Just three ingenious folding operations metamorphosize the card into an elegant pocket utility tool.




Measuring the size of a credit card, the lightweight, ultra thin Card Sharp 2 has stainless steel surgical blade that measures just under 3" long and is both waterproof and rust-proof.



Updated features (from the original Card Sharp) include a stiffer, non-slip armor rubber coated body and unique safety lock (cannot accidentally open when in a pocket or drawer and is child proof).

For only £15 GBP ($25 USD), the Card Sharp2 makes a great and handy gift or stocking stuffer, especially with the option to customize the blade (as shown below):

Edgy Stocking Stuffers For Under $10 Bucks

When it comes to stocking stuffers - gifts that literally will fit in the sock or stocking traditionally hung on the fireplace mantel, or gifts that aren't the 'hero' portion of the holiday gift-giving, most people end up with plastic toys or edibles. Things to be eaten or thrown away.

But here's a bunch of fun items, most under $10, that will not only get a laugh, but use. Warning, these have a wicked sense of humor and may offend some wimps and pussies.
