I like your list. Here are my comments:

1. I thought Photon 3's had not been reviewed as well as the Photon 2's had been and were therefore not recommended.

2. Where does one find a BSA Hot Spark?

3. I just ordered a brushed stainless steel Permanent Match (with keychain attachment) for all of about $2 ($6 shipping) from www.therestlessmouse.com. I'll let you know how it does.

4. I have honestly tried to like and use Mini-Bics. I cannnot. They are too bloody small for me to get a grip on. I keep having to use one hand to hold it and one to work the wheel. I am sticking to the regular disposables.

5. I already have bifocals incorporated into my glasses. Groan. The definitive sign that one has reached the far side of 40. I hate that.

6. I keep my Fresnel lens in my wallet. Seems a natural fit.

7. I have been torn -- delightfully so -- between the Leatherman Micra and the Vic Midnite MiniChamp II. I really like both of them and use them for different tasks. So I carry both of them.
