My SAK Voyager features a small ballpoint pen. The true is that I´ve never used it (only tried it out). I find it most uncomfortable. Any ideas how to improve the grip?

Watch: Timex Adventurer, stainless. 6 year veteran.

Knife- Spyderco Endura. Only a 1 year veteran, but I'm working on it! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Knife is Vesuvius/Almite Navigator combo. Watch is a 7 year old Wenger, and the pen is what ever is the cheapest, I'm bad about looseing them! How about a handcuff key that when in my pocket looks like a pen?? RKBA!

Don't wear a watch, my cell phone and computers all have clocks.

I carry a .19 cent pen cause I hate to loose a good pen which I keep in a backpack.

Now if I went on a plane ride the pen would be nice and fat for self-defense.

Hmm...Interesting theory about the gadgets and all.
Watch: None, as my cel phone has a clock too, and the last good watch I owned I lost the directions and couldn't turn off the $@#!! alarm.
Pen: Whatever I dig out of the bottom of my knapsack.
Knife: LW Native PE or SS Delica SE. Carried a generic Swiss Army folder for years until I lost it in the laundry (darn!). Now I just need more <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>S!

At work:

G-shock, Fisher space pen, and Spyderco Wegner

At play:
Luminox 3202, Fisher Bullet pen, Blackwood hybrid fixed blade, and Spyderco Wegner

I just ordered a Ollech and Wajs dive watch. I hear good things about these watches.

I have many knives in the rotation but keep coming back to the Wegner.

Shootist, which O&W watch did you order? I have (as you may remember) the Cougar. The watch is starting to show some very persistant times. It's soon time for the "regulation" and then it will be dead on accurate!
BTW, did you order the watch from Chronomaster, UK?

dePaul I've just bought a Cougar. What do you mean by the "regulation"? What are your feeling on the Cougar? I think the bracelet is quite rough and sharp in places.

Steve Andrews, REGULATION is the process of matching the (absolute) rate of the movement to a reference rate (electronic or atomic clock).

Regulation improves accuracy in the strictest sense of the word referred to as “time-keeping” in watchmaking. It is a relatively simple procedure that entails changing the effective length of the hairspring via the regulator, or changing the center of mass of the balance wheel to change the absolute rate.

Also, the conventional wisdom is that a typical new watch needs to be run-in - in other words, while sitting unused in the jeweler's shop, lubricants pool in certain locations. It takes a couple of months for the lubricants to be properly redistributed, and for the motion to wear away some of the microscopic imperfections that all parts have.

Bottom line - let a new watch run for about 2 months before taking it in to be re-regulated
