EDC


I believe the guy that does the 10min cast only includes gear that cost less than $100
 
Received this $9.99 "Laguiole" knife (eBay purchase). I was rather impressed by the weight and attention to details on this little thing;


It does have an edge - sharp enough to cut yourself, sharpen a pencil, opening a box, etc but not really intended for any serious work. I was mostly just impressed there was an edge at all.
The Damascus look is rather nice.






They also include a leather(?) sheath and cord should you be so inclined to use it that way. The knife kinda fits in there.


Time will tell if it will end up going onto my keychain
 
Ever since I put a knife on my keychain I've looked for a good keychain quick-release - and believe me there are many out there...
Ranging from 25 cents one w/ free international shipping out of China;


...to these rather nice solid brass ones (two for $6);


...to in-USA handmade ones in Titanium with a Trit slot in them for $65;


But I wanted something really simple and looked more at magnetic locks and found these that have a 6.5lb pull strength - for $16 in brass;




Here's two video of a similar design;

Seems sturdy enough - anyone here have any experience with magnetic quick releases and how safe they are (meaning not disconnecting accidentally)?
