I got the plain titanium version of the Halifax for Christmas and was overall very happy the product. First off, it looks great. One thing you can't fault TJB for is their design ethic in general and this is no exception. Secondly, the Halifax is very light indeed and won't make an impact on your pocket. Having said that it is smaller in the hand, or pocket, than you might think. I got mine with an Ulu for a better carry and you might want to consider a similar lanyard or keychain hook-up to do the same. I imagine this little friend could be easy to lose.

Third, it is one of the those gadgets that you'll find you use if you have it on you. I've used mine for scraping and cap lifting so far and no complaints - it does the job you'd expect. I've not used it for prying yet, but I'd be careful with that. As I said it's a small, light product and I'm not sure it's up for heavy duty use in that regard. It scrapes just fine.

Fourth, the 'Phillips head' aspect isn't an actual crosshead Phillips design, as is clear from the pictures on the site, but should work in the way you can sometimes use a flathead as a Phillips. However, first time I tried it on a crosshead screw it categorically didn't fit.

My reservation with this product is that, except for the cap lifter, all the functions are located in the one tool at the end, which might come in for a bit of a battering as a result. Time will tell.

Overall, a beautifully designed, discreet and elegant carry that's function for…
