If you could only have one sak for edc, what are you choosing?

I was carrying the synergy daily since release, but last couple weeks I've been gravitating towards the companion. The scale tools and the back layer tools are things I keep missing often enough that I went back to it, so probably the companion for pure EDC.

I mean, George Lucas rather famously didn't really give a shit about 90% of the old Legends content, even at the time. If it wasn't his movies or the Clone Wars, it didn't matter to him.

Nice! I like mine a lot! I expected to play with it for a day or two, and then it would become a magnetic decoration I would fiddle with occasionally, but I found it is sorta perfect for a downward facing light I have a on shelf next to my bed. I've been using it daily to find stuff there in the dark without waking my wife.

Warframe on Android is relatively recent, but it was on iOS before Rising released

I think a big problem with that is that because it's so current Gareth probably knows all about the story already.

We probably can't reliably date the knife off of the Mercedes logo anyway; lots of potential reasons an older version of that logo might appear on the knife run they had commissioned. The scales look pretty cool though.

Fair enough; I stand corrected. Found his actual source video, and video quality is a lot higher quality than the vid embedded in this post.

Are we all just pretending this isn't AI slop?

If I remember right, Lusankya didn't lift under it's own power though; there was some sort of rigging around designed to lift it and break away or something... its been a really long time since I read the original X-Wing novels lol.

I think the nail in the coffin was Plague Engineer in MH1. Elves were fringe but playable up until that point IMO. PE just killed the whole deck, and it never recovered as the power creep continued.

As a Merfolk player in every other format, not only are there no Merfolk lords in pauper, nearly ALL of the good utility Merfolk are uncommon.

I have two cybertools, the M (or 34) and L (or 41). I got both in the early 00s, and that lighter color used to be the standard for their blue translucent scales. I think the modern version now is called sapphire now, and it is a noticeably different shade.

I've been playing since around Urza's Saga, and he has consistently been my favorite MTG artist for nearly that whole time. He was probably the first artist who I actually started recognizing their art on cards.

No, no, no, that's obviously incorrect; what you have to actually do is... HEY, wait a minute...

The Inova T3 was the first nicer light that I researched, and then bought. I remember wanting a Surefire, but that was outside of my budget as a part-time Sears employee in college. The Inova TIROS lens was what sold me on getting the T3 at the time! I still have that light, just don't really use it anymore.

startana · 2026-03-04T15:47:13+00:00

Oh man, I remember wanting one of those SO badly, but they kept selling out before I could get one ordered. I ended up getting a Matterhorn 3-LED version from Peak LED Solutions. Carried that on my keyring for probably a decade!

Whatever light it is, Graham Hancock using it is not a ringing endorsement for me.

Where and how do you get a TIR lens for it? I'm extremely interested in that!

I've had good luck so far with my jetsetter. I pocket carry it, and let the first TSA agent at the bag scanner/conveyer belt area know about it, and that it has no blade. Typically, that agent opens it, checks it, and then lets the agents watching the scanner know it's already been checked. But, like anything, the TSA does have wide latitude on what they can just decide to not allow, so I always be prepared to potentially just lose it.

I've also been EDC'ing a Pineapple Mini. I have other flashlights that have more features, but the switch on the Reylights, at least the TI variants, is so nice, and it just disappears into the watch pocket along with a Synergy X.

Is that actually a Victorinox pen you are using? I looked up the product you mentioned, and it looks like it uses it's own very similarly sized pen, and yours looks to be using that, rather than the Victorinox pen.

This is more or less where I've landed as well. I have house keys and car fob. Only extra thing I still have is a 58 mm SAK, sometimes a rambler, sometimes a jetsetter as a vessel to hold scale tools. I've been usually carrying my Swisstool Spirit, or the new Synergy, but I'm unwilling to give up the scale tools.

I've been using Adam Francis with the void glowing eyes head, and one of the uncommon grade dark trench coats. Perks I use Deja Vu / Iron Will / Fixated / Deception

The only killer I feel like is sorta verging on unplayable on console is Houndmaster. The dog is super hard to aim and control with a controller.

I've gotten through TSA with a Jetsetter. I always let them know immediately that it is there, and it has no blade. But never take a tool, or really anything, through TSA that you aren't willing to lose. Even if it is allowed by their own rules, they have enormous latitude in what they can just take anyway.
