Few things I picked up in the last week. Nothing super interesting. Horrible photo though. The lighting in this house isn’t all that great. Guess I should probably do something about that. 
I think I see a UF-T1, DQG Slim AA, a Leatherman Wave, and some kind of bolt-action pen (probably titanium). What kind of pen and knives?
And good taste - I own a wave, UF-T1, and DQG Slim AA ;)
The pen is a CoolHand Ti. A parker Gel refill makes it pretty good. It came with a Schmidt medium ball point that wrote very good as well. The little knife is a Two Sun TS128-UP and the Purple Ti handled one is a Stedemon DSM 2015. It’s a pretty large knife but, carries pretty well, as long as it’s the only thing in that particular pocket. 
More Hank toys.
no test equip but their performance surpasses in side by side comparison
yup, mouser. But do be aware of the non-neutral thermal pad.
I’m aware, thanks! I think it will go into my Jacob A60 that currently has a CSLNM1. This light has an anodized emitter shelf so its perfect. As is, the light is seeing 234kcd running a 12x 7135 driver. I think they are all 350mA chips… But would have to check that. I’ve tuned and measured this light dozens of times so I’m confident in my readings. I’ll report my results with the ‘BFS’ LOL

Ordered BF, came last week.
Today I got my OL Prize bundle, big thanks to PP who supplied me one of his own lights, and very kindly did the proper customs sheet and I didn’t get charged a penny.
I was SO excited opening it I can’t tell you! 
Thank you again PP, you are one in a million mate

Ohhhhh……Nice!!! (green with envy)
Congrats goose , that looks really cool
The Two Sun somehow reminds me of the Buck Vantage Avid knives, nice shape.
Today I got a 1955 Leitz Ortholux with double lamps, for transmission and epi-illumination, including the Ultropak attachment for the epi-illumination with 11x objective. All in fine shape, well preserved and working well. I bought it via Marktplaats, which is a friendly dutch version of ebay.
It is because my other hobby is collecting cool microscopes. And although I like the antique copper microscopes, I have a few nice ones, nothing compares to what they made in Germany in the fifties and sixties. The Ortholux is IMO the 
-est microscope ever built, but thusfar missing in my line-up. Apart from the fact that it is mechanics at its finest, no plastic is found anywhere and all the mechanics still work without play after 65 years, it is not just function, it has a really cool fifties design, and it is a huge plump black thing 
I’ll admit I haven’t seen anything like it. Pretty cool indeed!
These seems to be expensive items. Do you collect them or use them professionally?
I collect them. I did work as a technician in a microscopy development lab for 10 years (for who is into these things, the first working confocal microscope was invented by my boss where I worked), but that was over 20 years ago. I paid 400 euro for this Leitz, which is not that much more expensive than the GT4 that I also own 
. But microscopes are too big to buy at the same rate as flashlights, given our small Amsterdam appartment, and the “limited :innocent: ” enthousiasm of my wife for my hobbies, I get away with a max of one microscope every two years. And I might have to sell one or two now to make room for the Ortholux :person_facepalming:
Lol @the limited enthusiasm of your wife for your hobby, i think we have something in common
Interesting stuff btw, microscopy
My new beemer after the wife wrote the last one off
Nice!
