@Fondots Yeah I was aware of the larger 111mm models - the one handed blade is great, but the size/weight is overkill for many people.
By no nail nicks, I mean *every* tool can be opened by people with long nails, no nails, or gloves. Accessibility!
I'm imagining something like the Leatherman Free architecture in a 91mm size Victorinox. The Free T4 is a great 91mm SAK alternative, similar size, but the scissors are terrible by comparison and the price is way higher, so they never took off.
@yojimbo Yes, the 91/58mm Victorinoxes are uniquely non-threatening and that's valuable. I assume no matter what they do, that style will always be available.
The idea that knives aren't allowed AT ALL in many places is asinine to me. I can understand courthouses, and blade length restrictions for some govt buildings, but entire university campuses? Hilarious! My SAK comes in handy on campus sometimes.
@etuomaala For the record, if you posted multiple images, they're not visible to me on Mastodon. When I've done the opposite, posting to Lemmy with a Mastodon account, multiple photos aren't visible to the lemmy users either.
@cashews_best_nut @fujiwood If you do want a lighter like a zippo, make sure to get a butane insert, not the original zippo insert! The butane ones are easier to use and don't leak fuel.
Note that many of those new zippo inserts are made in China. Countycomm sells great "peanut lighters" which are small, circular (pill container style) and completely waterproof. They don't leak fuel either and are made in the USA.
Zippos are just such a great form factor for pocket carry
@TheFriar @DeepChill As a generally low-income person who recently spent hundreds on a backpack I will defend expensive products lol. To me, if it uses recycled materials, fair trade labour, and the design is something innovative and thoughtful, it's worth it.
You do pay more for features. I got the WANDRD PRVKE which has a divided main compartment with 3 access points, a handful of hidden pockets, weatherproofing, a very structured and padded harness system and more, because that's what I like
@aard It sounds like you might appreciate the Incharge X and other cables by RollingSquare, it's USB-C or A to USB-C or MicroUSB or Lightning, up to 100w PD, data transfer and no magnetic tips
@edc btw, I realize this post might have a little advertising smell. but yeah obviously to be clear that's not the case. I just know it's a knife a lot of people appreciate, and would also be annoyed if people bought a Japanese knife made in China by companies that don't even have the right to use the name
@mipadaitu I honestly didn't consider how objective my title was, lol
The 91mm SAK is *one of the best* pocket tools in existence, certainly. But normally I wouldn't say something is THE BEST, because that's highly subjective.
