The COMBAR was born out of our founders personal need as adventurers and serving for over 20 years in the Israeli Special Forces. They were looking for the one tool that could easily be carried and would give them the confidence to deal with whatever they would encounter. There were different types of tools on the market but none that met our founders’ standards. They went through patents from the last 100 years to see if others had worked to solve the issues they had, and indeed were surprised to find many inventors who had talked about the need and even patented a few tools, but none had ever turned into real products.
