funny enough, its a victorinox birds beak pairing knife with a 3d printed sheath from Turner CNC. Its my GTFOFFFF me knife if worse comes to worse. super light and disposable. and I can travel with the sheath and always find the knife in stores.
I've got a Milwaukee fastback I love, came in a 2 pack for $10 at Home Depot. Razor blade box cutter, Phillips, flathead screwdrivers, and a bottle opener. Everything I need on a day to day and no need to sharpen a blade just replace it when needed.
As a teen I played a lot of Cee-Lo at local skateparks local fields for another pod of paint, and then at tattoo shops with my friends/artists or even with co-workers it's basically "street craps" a simple gambling game. Much smaller than a deck of cards to keep in my pocket, however I do keep a deck in my car and in my toolbox
As the dice carrier I can't say that I blame you, however the rules are simple and most of the time now it's played for fun, not money. Or if it is money, it's pocket change. But also, I still associate with many folks who also carry dice so at least in my circles it's not weird to have dice... I mean don't DND players carry dice? Lol
What are all you guys doing all day that require flashlights?
I’m not hating, I think gadgets are amusing, and I do work into the night, but I suspect most people do not.
So for those of you who don’t work in dark holes or overnight… Why everyday carry a light?
*note: because they’re cool is a perfectly reasonable answer.
My sarcastic answer is "so I can see in the dark". But for real, I'm am a sort of mechanic by trade and am always trying to look down in deep dark crannies or working in old plants with less than adequate lighting. And sometimes I have to fix stuff at night but that's where the headlamp comes in. But also because they're cool lol.
A while ago, I started carrying a pen light to see how much I would use it. I started grabbing to use itmore than I thought I would, and now it’s one of the first things to go in my pocket.
Also, The LED & emitter technology these days make for one more gadget for me to geek out on. You can make little Chinese pocket rocket flashlights that are practically lightsabers with the amount of throw you get. If you got time to nerd out, look at Convoy lights
use mine dang near every day. not a mech but i fix hospital equipment for a living. everything is in a tight, dark space. its funny to me when i see another tech pull out their phone to use the light and then they realize the actual phone blocks the view. theyll move the phone over to see, but then they lose the light. so theyll move the phone back a little to see, but the phone will be in the way. then theyll try and rotate the phone to see if that works. it never does and it always hits into something. its a never ending dance until i grab my pen light from my pocket... the phone goes away pretty quick after that. lol

I'm a bit different with my choice of torch, mine is UV/blacklight, one of my other hobbies is uranium glass, so I'm often looking for stuff that glows
Do hard things for fun. Being soft is for sissies. Being an asshole is easy, thats why everyone is one. Being stand up us hard. Be a hard bastard but be respectful.
Yeah, Its an Gen 1 Shield 9. It prints way less than the other carries I own so it gets to be my default carry. Texas is warm as all get out so IWB carry under a t-shirt is how I roll. When its chilly outside during the 1.5 months of winter here, I carry a CZ P07 under a hoodie. What do you carry?
i actually dont carry. i live in Pa but have family and friends in Nj and i work in Ny. Any time i go out its usually to Ny or NJ and damn if i get cought carrying a pistol in Nj with a mag full of +P copper jacketed hollow points, theyd make an example outta me. im more a rifle guy.
i shot a few and really fell for the Shield EZ 380. Before that was a 22 and my technique is lousy. the 380 helps with the recoil flinch, is easier (for me) to keep on target, and is easier (for me) to come back on target. i just gotta get to the range more.
100%. Range time is king. The little Shield 9mm is snappy as all hell but its perfect for hiding in a waistband. Its my get out of jail free pass that will never see the light of day if I am lucky.
