Eddie, what kind of watch is that?

LM, it is a Seiko Diver's Watch, 200M.

I like the look of those.

The flashlight is made of brass.
If I ever make flashlights of solid gold,
my GF would leave me, I believe.

No gold inside:

Terry, the small tubular doodads are aluminum whistles anodized in natural color.
The slim one has a higher pitch than the shorter one.

How much for a black one?

edap617 · **Reply #36 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:37:11 PM

All colors including black cost only 12 pesos or equivalent to less than 30 cents.

Rodion · **Reply #37 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:41:03 PM

...could you send one to me? Here in Israel, shipping is the limiting factor...

edap617 · **Reply #38 on:** July 12, 2008, 12:44:31 PM

I'll see if there is still color black in stock tomorrow. Will also check for the postal charge.

edap617 · **Reply #39 on:** July 15, 2008, 08:35:45 AM

Rodion, I just checked the availability of the black whistles. The store have no stock yet and they can't determine as to when their stock will arrive. In fact, they have no stock of all colors. Those doodads sells like hotcake to small kids.

Just kidding. Here's my real EDC this week.

Well I don't have enough stuff to switch often so mine basically stay the same with minor changes throughout the year.

Did you get that match container at Target? If so, I got like 10 of those for only a quarter!

Ten for a quarter?! I paid a dollar for mine.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #45 on:** July 16, 2008, 03:41:29 AM

WOW! I worded that WAY wrong! I bought ten of them for a quarter each! I bought 10 emergency blankets for .25 cents each too.. What about striking the match though? There is no where to strike it!! Oh, and I just cut up the striker on a match box and stuck it in there!

jzmtl · **Reply #46 on:** July 16, 2008, 03:56:48 AM

A quarter each is still great price! Mine has this little bar of metal on bottom but it's too smooth to do anything. But I don't use it to carry match with me for edc, I have two cr123a cells inside.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #47 on:** July 16, 2008, 03:57:49 AM

The bottom of it is a small flint for lighting fires!

I have a bunch of these too to carry CR123, but I've never been able to get a spark from the flint. Do any of yours work?

Leatherman123 · **Reply #49 on:** July 16, 2008, 04:38:17 AM

Nope! Not at all!

Hoghead · **Reply #50 on:** July 16, 2008, 05:25:03 AM

I add one of those birthday candles that you can't blow out in the match safes.

What do you guys think of adding a piece of sand paper to the top or bottom of the match safe. I thought a piece of sand paper could be glued on the outside.

Great ideas.... I think the sandpaper would be fine if the matchsafe wasn't going to be rubbing against anything else important. Some adhesive grip tape for stairs or skateboards would work well.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #52 on:** July 16, 2008, 07:12:08 PM

I am still all for my idea though.. It's so much easier to just cut off the striker of a match box!!

Wait, they have no "colored ones", or none at all? Wow.

I actually carry two strikers in my match safe.

REI wind and water proof matches come with two strikers in a plastic sleeve in addition to the strikers on the box. I had to shorten the matches, strikers and candle to fit in my match safe.

The match safe I EDC is brass with a compass. I don't think they make the brass ones anymore but they are made in aluminum. The EDC Depot has them.
