    What do you think the best folding knife

    I find myself using a lot more of Spyderco than my Benchmades (I have dozens of both). I use my Spyderco Pacific Salt everyday. You also can't go wrong with Benchmade 940 (I have the carbon fiber version). I rarely use my other brands (kersaw, crkt, coldsteel SOG etc..)

    Advice - why do I need (another) knife?

    i have a pretty massive collection, but when you find knives that you really like, you tend to not use the others. I have knives from all of the popular brands, but now, I just collect Benchmade and Spyderco. Currently, I only use 2 of my spyerco everyday and would only carry 2 of my benchmade...

    big flashlight, neutral white, many lumens, whatever cost

    I have the Acebeam L30 gen II and I'm semi happy with it. Sometimes I have it mounted on my bike, and when you run it for a long time (30-45min). The lumens tapers off as expected but it shuts off completely and won't work again until you charge. It also flickers when the road isn't smooth I...

    [TLR]: Nitecore E4K Quad LEDs Review

    I almost ordered this until I've found out the turbo mode only lasts 20 seconds, instead of 30min that it states. Is this true? Their high mode is only 1050

    Armytek Problems

    that's a bummer. I guess I'll just move on, since it's been more than a month. I'll be ordering the Nitecore HC33 tomorrow. Maybe one other. I Definitely will be researching customer service before buying.

    Armytek Problems

    I've 'had' an Armytek Wizard Pro v3 that I've bought from Amazon. It died after a month or so (about 5 minutes of usage). I've tried troubleshooting without success. I've contacted Armytek directly and after a few email exchanges, they said to send the unit back. So I've shipped the unit and...

    Armytek Wizard/Pro Thread

    I bought mine in 2017 of May. I've only used it 2-3 times and it won't turn on. Anybody with similar problems? I have an older version that works like a champ, so I'm pretty disappointed. The first one I bought went through a severe torture test and never had issues with it. I've never even took...

    KLARUS XT11 X vs Acebeam L30 ii

    I've had issues with my xt11 flickering like crazy as its mounted on my bike. But that flickering disappeared after a few week. I still question its reliability. I just ordered the l30 gen 2 to replace it and I see this as an upgrade.

    What are the top brands of Chinese flashlights in 2019?

    I've never had issues with my half a dozen or so fenix lights. Olight is at the very bottom. Other were hit or miss. My first armytek was a tank, so I bought another which was a dud that lasted 2 uses. My Dim-as-hell 60 lumen surefire that's 20 years old is the most durable. I'm in the market...

    Zebralight SC700d 21700 XHP70.2 90+CRI

    I've never bought another zl after my sc600 starting having issues after 6 months of seldom use (highest setting on for 5 seconds before dimming, and also randomlt shutting off and on). I was curious about this particular model until I read this thread. Thanks to forums.

    Is Armytek a gamble?

    my Wizard Pro has been a work horse. I've abused mine for many years and it's still solid.

    What lights are on your purchasing radar?

    I'm seriously considering the tm16 at this point. Too many choices. I toss and turn at night in bed having to choose. :D I've missed that thread. good read. thanks.

    Olight is horrible!!

    light was flickering and initially thought it was the batteries. I've tested with other battery brands with the same result. then it died completely. The guy replying kept saying it's getting repaired, but 5 months is unacceptable. well stated. that's pretty much it they will not give an RMA...
