An outdoor tool with multiple functions may comprise a handle, a spring clip, a blade, a cover and a flint rod. When the blade is in a folded position, it is coupled with the spring clip, and an actuating segment of the spring clip can tightly clamp the blade. Furthermore, when blade is in a deployed position, a mounting piece of the blade is mounted on a mounting hole of the spring clip thereby improving the structural stableness. In addition to cutting objects, the outdoor tool also can be used for whistling, starting a fire, opening a bottle, scraping fish scale, sharpening a knife thereby improving the practicability.

A bracelet or flexible band comprised of a flexible member that on one end is interconnected to a knife and on another end, is connected to a sheath that selectively receives the knife in the locking fashion. When needed, the knife is rotated within the sheath to facilitate release thereof from a lock that is integral with the sheath. Once removed from the sheath, the knife can be used for self-defense, cutting rope or cord in an emergency situation, or for general utility cutting tasks.

A multipurpose solar lighter for conveniently lighting a cigarette, tinder, or other flammable objects, includes a hollow upper part, which further includes an upper elongated piece, a convex lens, and a stopping tab, and a window with an optical filter; and a hollow lower part; such that the upper part connects to the lower part, whereby a cigarette can be inserted into the solar lighter, until it reaches the stopping tab, and is lighted by focused solar light. The upper part can also be used separately to ignite tinder. Furthermore, the solar lighter can include a fire steel surface and a fire striker, and end mounted pivotable thumb tabs for holding the upper and lower parts, when striking the fire steel surface with the fire striker to produce sparks that can light a fire.
