My Latest Leatherman Mod ...

Even if I'm not a fan of the scuplted and then padded edges on the Fuse, Blast, etc, that is damn sexy. Partnered with a Bantam or Waiter, or just a p38 or a FRED, and you've got all all the core roles covered.

Thanks mate  Yes a Waiter would be perfect as it fills in the blanks with zero redundancy

Here's what I originally put together with it as a combo



The pen is a Tombow Airpress, and the light is a Nitecore T0



That pen was annoying me as it was a bit on the big side - the Tombow Airpress is a great pen, just a little too big for that set up.

Well I didn't get a Bantam, Recruit or Waiter ... but I did get this instead ...



Case Scout Jr in G10  Much better

How is the nitecore? 15 lumens doesn't seem like a lot.

You're right it's not - but for off work and away from the boat it's perfectly adequate  It's actually slightly higher than the very popular Fenix E01 (though not regulated I don't think). If I stand at the top of the stairs in the house with the light off and shine the torch down to the bottom, I can see the bottom step and hallway well enough, so for under the car bonnet or in a cupboard, looking under/behind furniture, or navigating a dark path it's perfectly fine - and at 21 hours runtime too  It's a decent 5mm LED light like the E01, Tempo and such like

Two more items, and this little ensemble will be ready to run .... 

I have an orange Exotac Nonostriker which I've had for a while and I intend using that as a "lanyard" on the Scout Jr which will both aid handling and stop me trapping the bail under the blade (again  - Gerber pocket diamond sharpener to the rescue), and I'm talking to Metro about a suitable sheath for it all. I can get the pen back in then, and have more confidence in the retention of the peripheral items.

Once all that's complete I can sell my BG Strata/Firesteel/Torch combo pack. It's a really nice idea and everything ... his might be the Ultimate Survival Pack ... but mine is better It did inspire me to build this little kit though, so I need to doff my cap to it for that at least
