During prototype testing of this multitool knife I happened to be doing a fair bit of painting on a small house project I was working on. I’m not sure I could have devised a much more thorough test for it, as I found myself constantly reaching for it to scrape, cut, and open paint cans and cold beverages. Thus, the Husmaler—Norwegian for house painter.
