Re: Knife & Light pics.



I love that Leaf Storm! I have been jonesing for a Ti framelock for EDC with my Ti lights, but most of the stuff I look at is super pricey. That looks like a heck of a knife for the money. Can you give us a few brief thoughts on it? Do you carry it? How does it feel in the hand, does it lock up tightly, easy to manipulate? I have a Delica and a Caly 3 CF if that helps for comparison's sake.

Give this review a try. I personally like the Leafstorm a lot better than Tony, but he gives it a very good review...http://www.everydaycommentary.com/2011/03/spyderco-leafstorm-review.html

Re: Knife & Light pics.

Interesting that you post a photo of the knife I just made an offer on :)

I started looking for a Mission Ti folder this morning (3" or 4" serrated) but the price is up there. The ZT knives look well built & sturdy, and a little over $100 USD will buy the 0350ST. Ought to look really neat with a few 2x24mm green trits.

Yeah I carry this a lot and rotate between my GITD Manix, DPX HEST and a Benchmade Mini Dejavoo. Got to say the Leafstorm is a fantastic little knife with a rock solid lock-up which really gives you confidence using it for bigger tasks than you'd normally use such a small blade for. It's sharp as hell and has only bit me the once :) Fits easily in the pocket / you'd hardly know it was there. Perfect companion for my Nitecore.

Can't say enough good things about this knife. If you're on the fence just go for it, you won't be disappointed!

Re: Knife & Light pics.

Something different. It is/was a 1x18650 stainless steel light. This f*/@€... light really had it coming. Even though intended for 18650 cells it dented the cells pretty bad (although I tightened the innards of both tailcap and head as good as it gets), never working properly since mode changes were merely luck. Well, before the shoot it had a straight diameter from head to tail but then got dented with a few beats by the hammer, hammered a (supposedly) AK47 bayonet into the business end until it stuck and destroyed lens, reflector, LED (Cree XR-E), electronics. It was a light that set me back about $200 a few years ago but hell it felt good anyway :devil:

Eric,

Don't hold your feelings back, let it all out. Just stay away from McGizmo, Mac, MirageMan, etc. :nana:
