A Good Watch

I previously posted my G-Shock.

I have since bought a new one. A Casio Pathfinder (PAG-40-3V).


It has some pluses and some minuses:

Plus: Bigger display, Altimeter, Compass, Barometer/Thermometer

Minus: Batteries instead of Tough Solar, no Countdown Timer, no World Time

I had a current production Pathfinder Atomic Time/Tough Solar (PAW-1300-3V) but it had a reflective bezel I do not like.


These watches are really quality though, so whether it's a G-Shock, Pathfinder or Sunnto, you deserve a quality watch.

Current Knives

A few good folders and a multi-tool is a must. A couple are preferred.



For folders,

Top knife is a New SOG Flash II. Open-assist, Tiger stripe blade pattern.

Then an older Gerber E-Z Out™ Skeleton that has kept a really sharp edge.

I also have a couple year old CRKT M16-10Z that I got on a killer sale.

I gave my Son my Leatherman, but still have my trusty SOG Power Pliers with the duck-bill pliers that they don't make any more. I have had these since before 2003.
