If you were recently swindled into seeing Transformers 2, you might be interested to know that the only mental benefit to having sat through that pile of dung was Megan Fox’s thumbs. BUT! Now that I’ve seen the movie, I’m constantly staring off into space imagining other objects turning into awesome beasts that will crush the annoying vehicles in my path.

Much to my dismay, a friend showed me HIS own personal transformer in the form of a knife/multiblade that had me googooing for hours. The Striker Folding Multi-Blade is one of those robots from the future that you can fit on your belt, and you don’t have to worry about unsighlty mutiny or revolt from an alien power rising out of your hip!

This Striker knife features an aggressive file, quick change blade, a blade storage compartment, and a corner saw.

If you need another tool to grab with one hand, and a cool name and concept, please let me know, because I would be hard pressed to desire anything but the latest multi-fold from Striker.

• Resolved Question: Is it legal to carry a pocket knife in Illinois?

- I live in Illinois, and DANNY’s answer is as honest and straight forward as I would want, but also only possible if you are a complete doofus and misuse a knife. Use your knife for a utility tool and not as a weapon and you’ll be fine.
