Survival Card: discover what it is and how to use it!

For those who live intensely in nature, every tool needs to be functional, practical, and reliable. In adventure, bushcraft, or even emergency situations, what seems small can make all the difference. It is precisely for these moments that the Survival Card was created — an intelligent, compact, and extremely resistant solution, developed to accompany you on any journey.

With this in mind, we have prepared a complete guide with everything you need to know about Cimo's newest survival item! Today, we will introduce you in detail to what the CIMO Survival Card is, how to use it in different situations, and why it is considered a true flat "pocket knife" for outdoor adventures.

Shall we get started?

What is the Cutelaria Cimo Survival Card?

The Cutelaria CIMO Survival Card is a multifunctional tool, forged from 420C stainless steel, heat-treated at over 1000°C, ensuring a hardness between 48 and 50 HRC. Its purpose is clear: to offer resistance in your pocket and survival in your hand.

With compact dimensions and an ultra-thin design, it was designed to be easily carried, fitting in a wallet, pocket, or small backpack compartments. But don't be fooled by its size: it combines eight essential functions for those who practice bushcraft, hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, or even for those who like to always be prepared.

The product is the result of a partnership between CIMO — a national reference in cutlery since 1964 — and adventure and survival expert Celso Cavallini, who brought his field experience to ensure that every detail made practical sense.

The two versions of the Survival Card: Bushcraft and Urban EDC

The Survival Card was developed in partnership with adventure and survival specialist Celso Cavallini and is available in two versions: the Bushcraft Survival Card and the Urban EDC Survival Card. Both are forged from 420C stainless steel, with heat treatment above 1000°C, ensuring high resistance, hardness, and durability, essential characteristics for those seeking reliability in compact and functional tools.

• The Bushcraft version is ideal for those who explore natural environments and need to improvise solutions in survival situations. It includes functions such as a cutting blade, saw, arrowhead and spear points for hunting or gathering, as well as hooks and sinkers for improvised fishing, making it indispensable for hunters, fishermen, and adventurers.

• The Urban EDC version, on the other hand, was designed for the modern explorer who values practicality in everyday life, in activities such as camping, hiking, or even urban tasks. It combines functions such as a blade, saw, forks, hexagonal wrench, bottle opener, tweezers, mini saws, and a ruler. It is a discreet and functional option for those who like to be prepared in any situation.

How to use the Survival Card?

The Survival Card was designed to be intuitive and practical, even in stressful or emergency situations. Its compact and functional design allows each item to be detached or used directly, depending on the need.

Bushcraft Survival Card

Check out the tools that make up the accessory.

1. Cutting blade

The Survival Card's blade is sharp and resistant, ideal for quick and precise cuts. It can be used to cut ropes, adjust equipment, prepare small foods, or even for emergency repairs. It is important to handle it with care to avoid accidents.

2. Saw

The saw, located on the side of the card, is perfect for cutting branches, preparing firewood for bonfires or even making stakes for shelter construction. Its efficiency is guaranteed by well-defined teeth, which facilitate cutting even fibrous and resistant materials.

3. Arrowhead and spear points

The arrowhead and spear points can be detached and adapted to wooden shafts, quickly creating hunting, defense, or gathering tools. They are ideal for improvising fishing spears or for building traps in wild environments. The firm fit and the steel's resistance ensure the safety and functionality of the adaptation.

4. Hooks and sinkers

Medium and small hooks, combined with sinkers, allow for improvising effective fishing lines. Simply attach them to available ropes or lines, add natural baits, and set up a suitable structure for the aquatic environment.

The variety of hook sizes makes it possible to catch anything from small fish to slightly larger species, increasing the chances of success in survival fishing.

5. Ruler

The integrated ruler is useful for quick measurements. Being discreet and always accessible, the ruler adds even more value to the Survival Card as a complete tool for the field or urban situations.
