the spyderco byrd 8 tool harp

Modern day multi-tools will definitely have an upper hand when compared to this Harp Tool. But, is it worth comparing a 21st century object with that of the 19th century. The Spyderco Byrd 8-Tool Harp was invented by English tradesmen in the 1880’s and it includes: a Phillips-head screwdriver, slotted-head screwdriver, saw, corkscrew, file, punch/awl, gimlet and a two headed hammer.
