A light cutter and a sharp flashlight (pixelfed.de)

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!
