What beast of a knife is that?!
That's my collaboration with Peter R. called the Rapture.What beast of a knife is 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.![]()
