It is an IM Corona Tall Boy, originally a Dunhill pattern.
pictured now with the Old Boy with the pipe tamper and reamer, which stores pushed up into the base..

They use a flint, like the old Zippos, but are expensive and fueled with Butane. The Old Boy flame comes out at an angle, to help with pipe lighting.. These lighters are very sensitive to wind, and can be finnicky if your flint is not tight, adjust the screw.. Otoh, they have proven reliable at altitude up to 12,000 feet, skiing.

the sak has a pen, and a red LED

I've been rockin' the Caly 3.5. What a sweet EDC blade. Thin in the pocket and hand, but very ergonomic and packing lots of blade in a little handle. This one flew below my radar for a long time, but I've seen the light.

I love this knife.I just wish it carried better.It get's stuck on my pocket when it's clipped.I bent the clip about a mm out,don't want to bend it anymore than that.I think it gets stuck where the Ti lockbar cutout is.
Besides that though,it's great.The ergos are phenomenal.Smooth action,great lockup.The edge came with some small burrs on it,but a dozen swipes on the sharpmaker took care of that.Overall very good F&F on this knife.:thumbup:

Rat-1 in my pocket and Becker BK14 in my bag. I'm surprised how well the Rat carries compared to my Buck Vantage, it's heavier but it feels like there's less in my pocket. Magical.
 
Today I've got my Buck 426 Bucklite in my front right pocket it rides pretty decent but I may have to use a belt sheath in the future.

I have a couple cheaper models, this Yibao is actually pretty good! been using it for some months now and refilled quite a few times but it doesnt have the tools...I also have a Vertigo by Lotus which has the tools in the bottom but haven't used it yet! used the Yibao a few times though, its got a leather wrap.

Montana Holland briar pipe (oldie given to me by father in law), Yibao pipe lighter, Pipe tamper (I made it from a .222 shell and nephrite jade), Imperial scout knife and Zenith pocket watch (made 1920).
