Reylight Pineapple Mini raw Ti + ExceedDesigns TiRant MagLock #ExceedDesigns #Reylight #Titanium #flashlight #utilityknife #cutter

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?

    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!
