It is a 6-in-1 multitool equipped with a flashlight and glass breaker, and is “ideal for someone who hunts, camps or who travels often,” according to the Walmart listing.


Here’s the latest on Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction:


The blade was more than enough to kill 17-year-old Austin – a 200-pound football player — who was left with a two-inch gash in his chest when Anthony stabbed him at an April 2025 high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.

A blade of that size is legal to carry in Texas, but was not allowed on the grounds of the Frisco school where the stabbing happened.
