The community fully approves of this solution. :)

 

Most folks who would stumble into a Pocketknife sub have a mental list of knives that would be great to add to the collection and I'm curious what is on other folks radar?

I am very picky about my collection and generally only get knives I will carry and use, so my list of options is always super short, but the one knife I am most excited for and (patiently?) waiting the next 6 months for is the Winter Blade Co. Factor B3. While I've never held one, I've seen enough videos of the previous versions to know that it will hit all my buttons (fidget-ey, carbon-ey, magna cut-ey).

So what do you want to add?

 

It's still early days here in the Fediverse, but I was surprised to see that there was no place to chat about our friend the pocket knife. So, PocketKNIFE is born!

Not knowing how all this will shake out, PocketKNIFE exists on both Lemmy.world and kbin.social, so feel to use one or the other, or both, whatever floats your boat.

Enjoy this new platform and let's all ave fun talking about our collections and our pokey little pals.

It’s tough for a newb to figure out all the potential combos of options, but yes that is an utterly excellent pocket light. The aluminum one is probably the best for EDC, with lighter weight and generally better thermal handling. The boost driver is a must, if you intend to use it regularly and not just have it be a show-off light.

 

I have had a small knife in my pocket everyday for about 35 years but have maintained an incredibly picky attitude about my collection 😂, so my "knife per year" ratio is very low, but here are my current top 3 knives which end up in my pocket.

  • Shirigorov Hation Zero, blue carbon
  • 1997 Chris Reeve Sebenza, small, custom laser engraved design
  • Rockstead Hizen

What knives end up in your pocket most often?

While I’ve had flashlights of some sort around for 30 years, I recently discovered Emisar (better known as Hanklights) and added a few to the collection. Here’s a shot of the aux LEDs doing their thing. 😄 (This is a D2, DT8 and D4V2)

Also, hope that Lemmy can grow and be a great place to share our hobbies.
