Looks like an electronic compass / multitool combo - what is this, and when did it come out?
 
I checked it out on Schrades web sight a while back, I think it's called the E Quip has a spot inside for a bic lighter, quite a nifty gadget. I don't think you can buy it yet but it sounds like it should be out soon. Has an electronic compass and barrometer and a few other things it does, quite neat. I was thinking of getting one for myself, but I just bought another Christmas present for myself, a 32" Sony flat screen TV. I might wait a bit on the Schrade E Quip. My wife will kill me. :D
 
Kevin,
I bought mine a few months ago. It's a nifty digital compass, clock, altimeter, SAK and more. Very cool on the gadget factor. Will be using it this summer when the ice thaws when I head into the bush.

My only complaint is that the button are easy to press and the mode changes. Plus the background light is this pale orange and kind of boring. This tool has everything but the kitchen sink.
 
I've seen the ads for it in Field & Stream and some other magazines. I'll take a pass. :barf:
