This Bottle Opener is part of an 11 piece multi-tool consisting of knife, fork, spoon, saw, awl, scissors, file, corkscrew. screwdriver, hole punch, and one other smaller knife.
Never used any of the tools during my camping days, but it was great to know that I had them!

Pre-owned 2022 Seiko Prospex SNJ033P1 - 40th Anniversary.
The 1982 version of Seiko's ana-digi diver was worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in:
- Commando (1985)
- Raw Deal (1986)
- Predator (1987)
- The Running Man (1987)
In the Seiko community that timepiece is therefore called the "Arnie".
This full metal jacket 40th anniversary model is upgraded with solar charging and dive log function. It will record water temperature and -depth (up to 80m) when diving.
This is what's in my pencil case, which is almost always in my backpack. The tags for most things will have a discriptive caption.
Let me know what you think
This tiny multi-tool (c. 3 cm across) lives clipped in to the bag which nearly always comes with me when I leave the house. The handles on either side fold back to make a miniature pair of pliers, and at the side there is are a minute knife (shown), a file, a screwdriver (I think) and something else of which the purpose is uncertain. All very well, but I've never had cause to use it, and I doubt if any of the component parts would be up to any task.
A pocket I keep in my pocket. Makes it much easier to empty my pocket by pulling everything out at once.
A focus stacked macro panorama of a Leatherman "Wingman" multi-tool. The width of the tool in the image is six-inches.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene is a 5-image panorama stitch, with each individual image consisting of a focus stack of between six and fourteen images, depending on the depth requirement of the individual shot. The scene is a total composite of 47 images.
Two Nikon SB900 and one SB700 speedlights were used to illuminate the subject. The SB900's were placed laterally CL/CR two-feet away and one-foot above the subject. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄4 power through two Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. The SB700 was placed 100° CL and pointed at the white foam board backdrop; it was fired bare in Manual mode @ 1⁄8 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's; the SB700 was placed in SU-4 mode and triggered by the other flashes.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

Since I've already shown one set of my everyday carry items (including the obligatory Leatherman multitool), this Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II also comes along for the ride on the belt. This is my whatever-piques-my-interest camera, the latest in a series of compact Canons that I've carried every day. I also have an employer-supplied iPhone by my side, but I reserve that for work-related photographs as I prefer the ergonomics and flexibility of an advanced point-and-shoot.
Composed to fit within the 3" (76.2mm) constraints.
It's been a long haul but it's finally finished -- the MIDA Multi-Tool Scout Rifle from the video game Destiny! This has to be the most difficult thing I've ever built. There were so many funky angles and complex functions I had to incorporate, but it turned out great!

After the glass wars the biomechanical auto-independant artificially intelligent Mark 13 Skorpikoma, designed as Anti-Vehicle Hunter Killers, were themselves hunted to extinction. However some say a few Mark 13s are still wandering the dune sea, looking for prey. According to survivors tales they'd pounce on any vehicles they'd come across, rip them open like a tin can with their various multitools and then disembowel the unfortunate fleshy contents within.

It's still March baby. My first ever contribution to Marchikoma, I hope you like it.

Topeak Alien multitool
The Alien is usually overkill, but I have had opportunity to use the knife and even the chain breaker. Allen wrenches is usually all I need.
I own the chainring tool because I've actually needed it on the road, believe it or not. I don't need it anymore, though.
What's in your bag?
Made of titanium this is my camping eating utensil: the Spork. Also serves as a wrench and bottle opener, and screwdriver.
This photo is one of the last 10 shots from 2020 that I have been re-uploading at the frantic pace of ten per day in an attempt to catch up.
Tomorrow, I will start uploading another selection of oldies (I will explain which ones and why), which will take an additional 10 days or so, before we can at last move on to photos of 2021 and (hopefully!) slow down the pace a bit...
Many thanks for your patience!

With energy shields generated from enemy dreadnoughts becoming increasingly powerful, the Federation required a new starfighter that could independently push itself past defences without relying on larger support ships. Using twin projector bubbles mounted at its bow, the Shield-Breaker Multitool (SBM) is capable of generating a temporary rift in a shield’s surface long enough for it to gain accesses to enemy space. Once through, the SBM can reveal a multitude of offensive tools that would otherwise have been vaporised upon shield contact. Now, with the Federation’s fiercest weaponry at their doorstep, the Galactic Invaders don’t stand a chance!
One of the dropped story concepts for the Force Awakens was a Resistance ship that could punch a hole in Star Killer’s Shields and allow the strike craft to attack the base. Concept art shows it to be huge.. like 3 times the size of a star destroyer huge, but it got me thinking, what would a starfighter-sized equivalent look like? This idea developed further after re-watching Rogue One (again) and seeing those X-wings impact of the shield surface. What if a ship could instead slow its approach right down and literally force its way through? Consequently, it made sense to use an arrow-head shape with virtually no extremities to keep things looking shield-punching-durable (yes that’s a thing now ;). But then there was a problem, how’s a starfighter supposed to fight without any substantial weapons? The answer of course is to have a space swiss army knife multi-tool! :D

The Alox models, as well as being slightly longer, have thicker tools, and a stronger construction (wider rivets), than their 91mm cousins, additionally, the Alox handles are much tougher than Cellidor, so this family is designed for harder use than the Cellidor models. In fact, in the early days the Pioneer was known as the Sturdy Boy and even up until roughly 2017 the Pioneer series was labelled as the Sturdy Models on the Victorinox website.

The celebrated Alox scales have reached a near cult status, thanks to their unique surface which is pleasing to both hand and eye. The appeal of Alox is in its merging of aesthetics with functionality – its attractive embossed surface make the knife both lightweight and easy to grip, and the hardened oxide layer helps to protect against damage and corrosion.
After being punched from aluminum and embossed, Alox scales go through a process called Eloxal which uses anodic oxidation to create a protective layer. It is this final layer which allows for the coloring of the scales.
Alox has a strong significance in the history of Victorinox. First introduced for the Pioneer knife in 1957, Alox was a key feature of the Soldier’s Knife which was redesigned in 1961 and used until 2008. Today, we issue a Classic pocketknife with Alox scales in a different color every year. These limited edition knives are highly sought-after by design aficionados and collectors, showing the true timeless appeal of this iconic material.

From Google Bard…
Victorinox makes Alox knives using a process called **deep drawing**. Deep drawing is a metal forming process that uses a punch and die to create a three-dimensional shape from a flat sheet of metal.
The first step in making an Alox knife is to cut a sheet of aluminum to the desired size. The sheet is then placed in a deep drawing die, which has the shape of the knife's handle. The punch is then pressed into the sheet, forcing it to conform to the shape of the die.
Once the handle is formed, the blade is inserted into the handle. The blade is held in place by a rivet, which is pressed into the handle. The rivet is then peened, which is a process of hammering it to expand it and lock it in place.
The final step is to anodize the knife. Anodizing is a process that creates a protective layer on the surface of the metal. This layer helps to protect the knife from corrosion and wear.
Here are the steps in more detail:
1. **Cutting the sheet metal:** The first step is to cut a sheet of aluminum to the desired size. The sheet is typically 0.8mm thick.
2. **Deep drawing the handle:** The next step is to deep draw the handle. This is done by placing the sheet metal in a deep drawing die and then pressing it into the shape of the die with a punch.
3. **Inserting the blade:** Once the handle is formed, the blade is inserted into the handle. The blade is held in place by a rivet, which is pressed into the handle.
4. **Peening the rivet:** The rivet is then peened, which is a process of hammering it to expand it and lock it in place.
5. **Anodizing the knife:** The final step is to anodize the knife. Anodizing is a process that creates a protective layer on the surface of the metal. This layer helps to protect the knife from corrosion and wear.
The Alox knife is a popular choice for EDC knives because it is durable, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant. The deep drawing process used to make Alox knives ensures that they are strong and reliable. The anodizing process also helps to protect the knives from the elements.
