Versa58 Closes Kickstarter at over 560% Funded, Validating Demand for Reversible Modular Architecture on the 58mm Swiss Army Knife. Keyport's patent-pending reversible interface system earns market proof without touching the knife's original structure. Keyport's Versa58 crowdfunding campaign has concluded at over 560% of its funding goal, delivering clear market validation for a reversible modular platform engineered to extend the 58mm Swiss Army Knife without altering it. No drilling. No grinding. No permanent modification. The original knife is preserved in full and can be restored to factory condition at any time.
Versa58 is built around a patent-pending reversible interface plate that engages the mushroom rivets beneath factory Cellidor scales on compatible 58mm models. Once original scales are set aside, Versa58 components attach cleanly, enabling modular scales and snap-on modules that integrate lighting, writing instruments, digital storage, and pocket carry enhancements. The same modules also connect magnetically to form standalone keychain tools and task-specific setups independent of the Swiss Army Knife entirely - functioning as two interconnected systems: a reversible modular layer for the 58mm Swiss Army Knife, and a standalone magnetic EDC tool architecture built from the same standardized modules.
"We approached this project with deep respect for the craftsmanship behind the Swiss Army Knife," said David Cooper, President of Keyport. "The goal was to enhance a legacy, not alter it."
Independent coverage from Gear Patrol and Yanko Design, along with hands-on reviews from Jon Gadget, MaxLvlEDC, Todd Parker, and Melissa Backwoods, consistently identified the same quality: Versa58 extends the Swiss Army Knife's capabilities while honoring the integrity of the platform it complements.
Josh Downes, Versa58's Chief Designer, described the design intent: "Versa58 is about introducing modular architecture to a format that has already proven its durability. It allows capability to evolve independently from the tool itself."
The 550% result reflects more than product enthusiasm. It signals a generational shift in how everyday carry consumers relate to the tools they choose - one that rewards configuration, personalization, and upgrade paths without asking any tool to be less than what it already is. Versa58 introduces modularity to the 58mm format in a way that aligns with its design philosophy rather than competing with it.
"At a systems level, Versa58 introduces optionality without permanence," Cooper added. "You can configure for today, rebuild tomorrow, and preserve the original tool indefinitely."
Versa58 is designed as a platform, not a single accessory release. The standardized modular interface supports an expanding ecosystem of modules over time, with structural compatibility pathways that extend beyond the 58mm format.
