Oh baby.
I love me some Japanese blades. Second to none in my opinion.
The grip looks comfy. I got a bypass hand pruner similar to that, from Samurai, made in Japan. Really fine steel, stays sharp throughout a lot of commercial use. I’ve given up on any pruning saw blades that aren’t Japanese too. One Samurai curved saw, and two Silkys, one fine tooth 300mm Gomtaro, for ornamentals and one large tooth 400mm Tsurugi straight, plus a medium tooth 400mm straight Tsurugi blade, cut the tang off, drilled a hole and mounted on a pole saw head. It’s not a common setup to see straight blades on pole saws, but it works very well, just tricky to get a little undercut on a branch to keep bark from tearing.

I’d love a US made multi tool like the Leatherman wave, but with a plain blade from Seki.

Last year I finally accepted that I had permanently lost my Leatherman multi tool snips, I loved those things… I went shopping to replace and found that they are long discontinued and a bit of a collectors item, real bummer.

Never knew that existed, I’d love one. How silly to discontinue it, my only guess is that it wasn’t good for the business. Meanwhile they’ll make 4 versions of what is essentially the same thing with subtle differences.

It was as good as it looks!
 
I got a dozen thermacells but only take 1 unit loaded with fuel and new pad, 1 extra fuel, and 3 extra pads.....ive only had 1 malfunction and quit works but that was after being totally submerged. Bug head net and gloves are sufficient backup and I keep them in my vest all the time....I deserve those bites if I didn't pack enough fuel or pads or fall in the water

I agree with the doyels...

My back support thing is most definetly my favorite thing I hate to carry with me...
