Honoring Brilliance: The Lise Meitner EDC Knife

At Glow Rhino, every product name tells a story. When we design a new piece of everyday carry (EDC) gear, it’s about more than materials and mechanics—it’s about meaning. Our newest knife, the Lise Meitner, pays tribute to a trailblazing scientist whose courage and curiosity changed the world.

Born in Vienna in 1878, Lise Meitner shattered expectations at every turn. She became one of the first women in Austria to earn a doctorate in physics and went on to make groundbreaking discoveries in nuclear science. Her collaboration with Otto Hahn led to the discovery of nuclear fission—the process that releases enormous energy when an atom’s nucleus splits. Though history initially overlooked her contribution, Meitner’s brilliance and integrity have stood the test of time.

That perseverance and pursuit of truth mirror our own values at Glow Rhino. Our gear is built to perform when it matters most—crafted for those who demand precision, durability, and reliability. The Lise Meitner EDC knife is no exception. With its clean lines, balanced handling, and rugged construction, it’s engineered to endure life’s toughest challenges.

At the heart of every Glow Rhino product lies tritium—a self-powered light source that never quits. Tritium glows continuously, day and night, without needing a charge or external power. It’s a perfect representation of Meitner’s enduring impact and of the Glow Rhino philosophy: always on, always ready.

The Meitner knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a fusion of science and craftsmanship. From its durable materials to its self-luminous tritium inserts, every detail is designed with purpose. Like the woman it’s named after, it shines quietly but powerfully, illuminating the path forward for anyone who carries it.

We named this knife after Lise Meitner not only to honor her contributions to science, but to celebrate what she stood for: intelligence, integrity, and perseverance. The Lise Meitner is a reminder that innovation starts with curiosity—and that true brilliance continues to glow long after the lights go out.
