    I'm deconstructing a buildings 50 year old cabling for their phone system and PA system. Then using what can still be used to rebuild a new system. All in all I will only need 15% of the wiring that's left.....if all goes well...

    Oh trust me I know. My company just bought a new fluke data tester. Thing is worth 25 gees I have it attached to my hip at all times.

    I have never seen these Klein before. Tha fuck!

    I got a set of channel lock linesmen that are fully loaded, crimper, double jaw, 14 awg puller, fish puller ect. Good tool for half the price of a Klein linemen. But if your going for a sharp cutter I stick with klein.

    @Beavis- Want to really catch the eyes? Use Tritium vials, do a couple limited runs with Titanium and tritium, custom designs or layouts for the vials. Hell, do your Logo with the trits.

    Do another run of them with a fire steel on it too.

    Remember, we are outdoorsman - Want ideas to improve products? I think outside the box.

    Coatings, for a pocket tool. Well, they look nice for a little while.

    I'd be fine exchanging the belt loop for a spork. All in one utensil at that point. Zero use for firesteel or tritium vials. If I can pop caps and eat with it, tons of win. Titanium, please.

    Maybe not the place to discuss, but tritium vials would be so labor intensive on the production end that it'd be an expensive finished piece, right? Small batch custom.runs at best. And a firesteel would need a retainer, which would.just make the opener chunky and IMO a little bit novelty. Enough Bear Grylls type of junk in the outdoors market. I think the current BS line up is good for a fairly new start up. I don't see that type of addition being a lasting product line or the sign of a craft made product like it is currently. Expansion would be great, though, if done well and in a serious direction. Engraving and coatings are cost effective ways to expand and minor in production risk.

    Your right. Found it in the vendor section. Put up a small thread.

    Tritium, same cutouts could be used , just drop the trit in there and glue, UV cure.

    Foresteel, a simple cutout on one of the edges then heavy duty adhesive. They make the fire steel in thin rods too.

    On some of the EDC forums, this stuff, anything handmade with options for customizations sells like crazy.

    Sorry, there was a time when I was making small custom goods with these things I mentioned in them.
