Wingman again and it would be a good starter but I prefer my super tool 300 but I do like the pocket clip
 
Today it's been my ZT 0550 with flat earth brown Hinderer scale.

Spyderco Squeak for the easy, simple tasks and the Native for the jobs that require a little more steel.

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. ;)


I never thought to apply that laser as such, and im tempted (though not that exact one) I've wanted one really bad but avoided it based on my experience and knowledge of such a powerful laser (for instance, you wont be scaring fauna, you'll be blinding them permanently if you so much as glance the beam across its eye. humans as well, obviously.) Dont go shining that into rooms messing with people, someone could look out and lose sight in one or both eyes. Seriously.


...and on topic..

Carrying an 0350 I just got in a trade. Fantastic EDC!
 
I just pulled this BRT Bladeworks mini Bowie out of the sheath on my belt. Too large for EDC. Not where I roam.
