@wetferret I'm not sure. It's definitely got some kind of finish to seal it up a bit. I haven't noticed any dampness after washing my hands, warping, or anything else, but it's not waterproof
Edit: I should clarify the wood came from wine barrels! So that definitely lends some durable properties
@Mojojojo1993 Yeah, myself and many people into EDC don't support carrying knives as weapons. I'm glad I live in a country where there aren't that many restrictions, although it's not the top priority
@Mojojojo1993 The Mountaineer is my main - it has nearly all the tools I need including many screwdrivers, two sizes of blade, and great scissors!
But I carry the Junior because it's a lot easier to open if I'm wearing gloves or my fingernails just ain't getting in there easily. Not really useful or entertaining tbh.
I would consider a dedicated pocketknife instead though, just for being a really nice item and also way easier to open. Doesn't matter to most people, but for EDC heads, why not?
@OmegaMouse @CKOW I realize this thread was 2 months ago so you likely have already bought something, but I made another comment recommending the Sofirn SC21 pro, which is like the Baton 3 but uses non-proprietary batteries.
@OmegaMouse Sofirn SC21 Pro, Olight Baton 3, or anything else with the same form factor as the SC21. Yes, the SC21 Pro is 1000 lumens on max, which is nice to have for brief use. The user interface is intuitive, but gives you many extra settings if you wish and the brightness is completely controllable.
USB-C charging, replaceable, standard, non proprietary battery (16340), bidirectional pocket clip (can use with hat) that sits comfortably in any pocket without poking out. A solid light.
@MentalEdge @SirToxicAvenger I carry a large capacity thumb drive.
Its rotating mechanism is already getting scratchy so I'm not sure about the physical quality, but I'm very comfortable having it in my wallet, not sure about my keychain.
I have ventoy on it, so it's a normal thumb drive with a few useful files, but can also boot linux isos, which I have a couple
@bwrsandman @Metal_Zealot As a privacy advocate, this is generally good practice especially since what you post online is likely permanent.
However, people are free to not do so and we gotta just politely let people know it's good practice, rather than "omg dude someone is going to break into your house now" which can be easily refuted
@Twitchy1 Fair enough! You've clearly thought through your own needs and settled on what works best.
Just offering advice. Only mentioned money because some people use that logic to cut corners. But a SAK is a SAK, all are a good choice.
@Anticorp I haven't found a use for it yet, and it isn't as stiff as a normal pin, but many people put paperclips in their SAKs as well, so I'll probably come across a use for it at some point
