Package and Manual
There is no manual. You might want to keep the back of the package (or just refer to this post!) to see what tools you will get in the Nextorch MT10 multi-tool.
What’s Included

- Carry pouch
Look
The Nextorch MT10 multi-tool is 30Cr13 steel and has a coated finish. Despite being black, it doesn’t really have too much of a tactical feel (or look, really). It seems (looks) suitable for use around the masses!
Open / Close / Lock
There are a couple of blades on the Nextorch MT10 multi-tool. Above, you can see the main knife blade. It’s 50Cr15Mov. The blade has a great shape and is not a short blade. I measure the blade at around 78mm, or 3″.
This blade and the saw blade too are both liner locks (or frame locks, I suppose, depending on what you consider the frame here.) The lock (which you can see above) is on the thin side, but once locked properly, did not unlock unintentionally.
Build and Feel
Having the Nextorch MT10 multi-tool in hand and looking at the photos here, I’m inclined to say that the photos are deceiving. This is not a small multi-tool. The weight is 245g.
Build quality is good, though, and the things this tool is known for are easily accessible. Opening and closing all the tools is very smooth, too!
Tools
There are 16 tools. I’ll just list them here:
- needle-nose pliers
- regular pliers
- replaceable wire cutters
- hard-wire cutters
- thick-wire cutters
- a saw
- knife
- Phillips screwdriver
- rescue hook
- can opener
- wire stripper
- bottle opener
- flat screwdriver
- glass breaker
- scissors
- a ruler
Below you can see most or all of those tools open and accessible.
I appreciate that the wire cutter parts are replaceable! Nextorch says this is K30 steel.
The saw is super aggressive. It’s the kind of saw you’d use for cutting small limbs. And the blade is long enough to do so, too! It’s around 2.75″.
The knife spine is suitable for striking a flint. A 17th tool option!
The Philips screwdriver option is of the “flat” variety. It’s unusual but also seems like it’ll work ok for the right screw.
To use the pliers, the tool itself is a bit bulky in hand.
Below is the glass breaker.
The scissor handle is separate from the body parts.
You do end up with a bulky body section in hand, but the finer (more mobile) side makes the scissors work nicely.
The design means you can use the scissors as seen below, without pivoting the other body parts out of the way.
Size
Dimensions (Closed): 110 mm x 40 mm x 21.5 mm

Also above is the Nextorch MT10 multi-tool beside a TorchLAB BOSS 35, an 18350 light. I reviewed the aluminum version of that light in both 35 and 70 formats. I also reviewed that specific edition, the “Oveready BOSS FT Collector Vintage Brass” 35. I love it!
Here’s the Nextorch MT10 multi-tool beside another of my favorites – the Civivi Elementum. If you want to see a bunch more photos of that knife, check out my post about the Civivi Elementum here.

Retention
The main way to carry the Nextorch MT10 multi-tool is probably going to be the included pouch. This pouch is a flat pouch (no form), but still holds the volume of the tool just fine.
What you see below is not just a snap loop. That whole piece is also hook and loop closure. It’s a nice bonus!
Finally, there’s a belt clip built in. I can’t see that being preferred over the pouch but it’s a nice option anyway.
Conclusion
The Nextorch MT10 is a solid low-cost multi-tool. There are a whole bunch of tools included and accessing them all is quite easy. Most (or all) are even accessible without opening other parts of the tool, too!
