Salt 1 a new addition. Very light, and easy to carry

I was carrying a waved endura 4 SE and Kershaw NRG2 today and then the Ontario Retribution 1 & XM-1 showed up in the mail...

The two ontario's are perfect for office edc. :cool:

:D

Fancy knives go to drawers, with their thick useless grinds, over the top builds and stiff openings.. :p
This one travels in my sweatpants without clip and with convex grind. It cuts well! :O
Makes me think, that hard use knives are called that because they are so hard to use. This cuts without hard use.
 
I think he means the Spyder III. Very nice laser BTW :)
Do you use it for astronomy?

Wow that's one heck of a laser pointer. But what use would you have for something like that?

I get that a lot. Funny no one ever asks me what use I have for my combat knives, working as a chess instructor. ;)

a) It's a high-powered laser, not a "laser pointer," and b) it's amazingly functional. If you direct it at a ceiling, you light up the room (or cave, bunker, etc.) as though there were a bright bulb there. You can do this to someone else's room as well if you desire, even if they're a few miles away, and you can leave it on for hours if need be.

It has unlimited range for all practical purposes, enabling one to highlight objects as far out as the horizon easily and with exceptional precision. This works even at high altitudes where the horizon is farther out; I once hit the prairie east of Denver from the high country about 50 miles to the west. The beam is so potent that it burns objects easily even at the 20% power setting; on full power it can start a campfire with little or no tinder.

I purchased the extra lens kit with the Arctic as well; when hiking I like to keep one of the wide-angle lenses on it. This functions not only as a superbright flashlight on the low setting but also enables me to instantly disable any hostile fauna with the push of a button, day or night. As well, the beam is visible in the air, just like with a green laser. If I should get lost or stranded, it's a better signal than a flare gun.

And yes, it's great for astronomy. ;)

^ Glad to see someone using it practically as opposed to people using it to dick around, pointing it at people and airplanes.

So, you are saying that someone in the Space Station took a pic of you shining your laser at them, or am I missing something here?
