I found a very good - albeit not perfect because of the bead-blasted finish - match for my Reylight Pineapple Mini Ti! Such a small, light and useful package, and in my eyes really beautiful! What do you think?

    I have always had the smallest utility I could find while still being useful as a knife. I was really intrigued when I found the one you’re using, but I couldn’t justify 80 bucks for that little thing when my current is maybe 3/16 bigger for 4 dollars.

    May I ask what you do/ use it for and how you’ve liked it so far? I can agree it’s beautiful but gotta know how it functions.

      The price is astronomical for a cutter, yet there aren’t any with the feature set it offers. It depends if the ownership of something unique and carrying a miniature yet useful overengineered tool is something that matters to you. In my case, the choice landed here for:

      • office and work commuting EDC
      • extreme compact form factor: being able to leave it in the fifth pocket was really helpful in a couple of situations
      • fit and finish that could match the similarly small flashlight
      • fidgety and novelty factor
      • “buy it for life”: no moving parts, solid chunk of titanium
      • I like to reward some small private life achievements with these king of “unnecessary” things :)

      On the functioning:
      + really easy to slide open one handed
      - Ti pocket clip quite stiff, so not as easy to take out
      + decent fidgety factor
      - pushing the blade with the edge touching a side can blunt it (I think I fidgeted a lot with it at first and then had to sharpen it slightly again - solution is to take care of pushing the blade away from the side)
      + in use, it does its job very well, nothing to complain there

      So: not flawless, but I love it and have it with me every day!
