One may ask, “Is a blade really necessary for photography?” Well, the answers may be a bit more surprising than you think. In some cases, a blade can be exactly the thing you need to get your next shot. This is particularly true if you are creating large setups or working in the field. Understanding the significance of a sharp object, PolarPro has announced a knife, a compact utility tool designed for photographers and on-set crews.
Called The Blade, the stainless steel knife is perfect for reliable fixes. It is a multitool, which means you can rely on it for everyday on-set necessities. The knife features a Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade, which is ideal for cutting gaff tape, cable ties, light packaging, and other common materials. In addition, the anodized aluminum body is ideal for keeping the blade lightweight. There is also the rugged look and feel, and it comes with PolarPro’s signature matte-black aesthetic.
In addition to the blade, you also get two key functions: a flip-up M4 hex tool and a flathead screwdriver. This is useful for quick rig adjustments and can make it easy to tighten tripod plates, mounts, and various rig components without having to dig through gear bags.
However, The Blade is not TSA-approved, which means it can’t be carried in your hand band during air travel. The M4 hex tool is also integrated as part of the knife’s design, and is not replaceable. But it is durable and will last you a long time.
As for the price, it costs just $129 and is designed to complement your other PolarPro gear. This is a pretty sleek device that can be handy in dire need. Photographers who shoot weddings, events, or advertisements can also benefit from the device. In fact, if you are creative and often look for ways to expand your horizon, The Blade can be of help every step of the way. For more information, head to PolarPro’s website.
