Yes. Lighter and pipe tamper.Is the brass gizmo a lighter?
I recommend trying a 4" Ti-Lite. The S35VN version with aluminum is quite good... but then, so is the 4" kris in AUS10A!Actual carry on the right (day 36 with my Inkosi), just-for-fun carry on the left.
I've finally made peace with the Ti-Lite's lock, which always used to be my least favorite thing about this model. I still with it was a Tri-Ad lock instead, but these days I find the leaf-spring liner lock to work just fine (and I'm giving serious consideration to trying the 4" version). The kris blade is wild. Compared to the regular Ti-Lite blade it has a bit less presence; the taper makes it look shorter than it is.

That knife on the left made me close one eye since I know it works on late Friday nights lol. Think I would have to close both eyes if I ever tried to sharpen itActual carry on the right (day 36 with my Inkosi), just-for-fun carry on the left.
