What is the two cylindrical pieces on your keychain?

The large cilinder with the holes near the bottom is a small led lenser keychain flashlight. Right next to it, beneath the Buck and next to the Victorinox USB drive is a telepen by True Utility. I picked two of these up at a discount in a gadget store. Thought they'd come in handy and they do quite often. I don't carry around a full sized pen when I'm not carrying my backpack, but I always have this extendable pen with me. The refills are small, but since I don't write books with that pen, they come along for quite a while.
It's small, compact and very handy. It extends like a radio antenna.

Thank you, Sir! I have seen lots of gadgets but those two I could not make out. I appreciate your time!
 


Don't let the photo fool you -- it's a tiny 108OT today (the plum is not quite as big as a ping-pong ball.)

I thought for sure that plum tree was too young to bear fruit, but I guess it's a tough little thing -- the descendant of one that fell down in a storm a few years ago, and then, to my bafflement, bloomed and fruited while lying on the ground!

What's the problem Thom, weight, size, ease of opening?

I do think its the weight (92.6g) and slenderness in the pocket, not that I really notice it, I mean, its not dragging my trousers down, it just 'seems' hefty for its size.

Also, I have been carrying a lot of single bladed knives, the redundany of the second blade, is just not needed.
Practically they are just not different enough to offer any advantage to me, not like the #53 for example, with a clip & wharnie config.

Yes, I had wondered about that with the Copperhead. The blades are both ones I like and I think practical, but maybe they're just too similiar.

Ah g'wan then:D





Don't encourage me!

I've given it some TLC in the form of a re-profile and some polish. Like being able to buff the handle on the strop after sharpening to get the brass all nice:)

P - I'll grab some pic's next to the Puffin, this one is a similar length but more slender. Still built like a tank though!

Jack - Sometimes I feel a little guilty for pushing some of your other folders outta your pocket with the Aitor.

I fancied carrying the Copperhead today....

....I 'm begining to wish I'd have gone for a single bladed Copperhead though....I think....:confused:

I love the scalloped covers! My Boker Copperhead has standard jigged bone. The Copperhead I find heavy to carry, though a sweet knife nonetheless is my Case wharncliffe:

Very handy set of blades, but also pretty hefty in my pocket.
 
Svord mini in wood after some sanding, reshaping and a coat of mineral oil. Looks and feels much better now.

Today, a Tidioute 74 and my 'orange' Charlow. I thought they looked good together. :cool:



Two great patterns from my favorite manufacturer. The 74, though, didn't get the attention it deserved, I think, partially due to the BF version that came just before it (which is on my 'want' list). I prefer the flat grind blades over the sabre grind Northfield version, but the NF is fancier.

Okay, thanks-- though I appreciate the further looks at this one in isolation.

How big of a factor or difference is it to you that the covers on the Europa are non-swappable?

In addition to its clean(er) lines, I'm guessing its pinned covers adds to its slimness (or put another way, perhaps the screws and swappability explain the Puffin's being slightly thicker)? Or are they relatively different knives altogether?

Yard work this afternoon, and I always seem to reach for this Imperial jack for that task (well, except last week when I needed a saw and fixed blade to clear storm debris).

Got this old Robeson Harness jack with me today. Love this old pattern, nice to carry and use.

Jason, that´s a fine looking knife. I really like the jigging on the handles... beautiful - just beautiful...
