Opinel Folding Knife No.8

The Opinel folding pocket knife model #8 is the best daily carry I have ever owned. As a longtime USA Buck owner that's a statement! Opinels have been made by the same family in their small workshop in the French Alps since Joseph Opinel designed his first posket knife in 1890. At just 1.5 ounces, and with a 3.25-inch carbon-infused stainless-steel blade, oak handle, and twist lock sleeve, it's pocket portable. This knife was voted one of the top 100 best designed objects in the world in 1985 by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. I have used mine in camp, when fishing and kayaking, for opening boxes and packages, cutting rope and cheese, whittling, cutting electricl whire, even trimmming branches on my Christmas 2021 live pine tree! It came razor  sharp and doesn't need sharpening yet desite how I've put it to task. $48 fom their website and worth every penny!

Husky 1500 Lumen

This Husky flashlight provides 1500 lumens of LED light in three different modes. It is beefy, and well-made, at 11.5 inches in length, a 2.24 inch lens width, and a weight of just over a pound. With an operating range of 360 feet, we have found it is bright enough to light up an average back yard like daytime. It features zoom and has a USB rechargeable Li-ion battery with the charging cable included. It also comes with an adapter for using D cell batteries, for instances where you don't have the ability to recharge it via USB.  Battery life on a charge is 1.5 hours total. Could it get any better? Well, yes. It is waterproof to one meter and can survive a drop of 30 feet. It sells for $39.51 online, but we got ours on sale at a big box home store for $19.99. This is a must-have for anyone who needs a larger flashlight for camping, fishing, night hikes, power outages, and more. Keep one in your vehicle and one at home.
