    Need help with AA runtime (capacity)

    Sorry about my short reply as I'm away from my computer. I checked the specs again and it draws 13.5v 250ma.

    Need help with AA runtime (capacity)

    Please move this thread if it's not appropriate here. It's battery related though. :whistle: I'm going to rig up a fish finder on my fishing kayak and the specs on it says it draws 250mA. The unit itself requires 10-17v to operate. Let's say I use 10 AA Eneloops in a holder. I believe they are...

    ESEE DPx H.E.S.T. Folder

    Yeah that's the beauty of no obligation pre-ordering. When the time comes I'm sure people will drop out and others will fall right in without hesitating. I have both on pre-order as well. Although pricier, I'm leaning towards the two LE's. One to keep in the safe, the other to use as an EDC.

    Fixed blade for day hiking

    ESEE-4 has more blade obviously and larger. I think it's more well rounded for around the campsite/hiking type tasks. Not saying the HEST is any less capable. Just by handling the two, the HEST is more of a wham bam thank you ma'am kinda knife. If you need things done fast, it's the go-to knife.

    http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8489287&postcount=56 The non-serialized HEST folders will be way below that price.. More like $170s.

    Nope, no prepayment on the LE was necessary. They will be going for $250 but it comes with a bunch of other goodies.

    ESEE DPx H.E.S.T. Folder

    There were plenty of knives available even the day after. I was surprised it took that long to sell out. Don't worry though, there SHOULD be a few opening up. People made mistakes on their orders so some should get recycled back for sale but then again someone might be on a waiting list now.

    It's 11:07am CST and the serialized pre-order is now live at www.dpxgear.com I reserved my two.. It just opened up at noon Eastern. There are plenty available right now. Tick tick tick tick...

    Fixed blade for day hiking

    Thinking about it now, I have a can of Boeshield in the garage that I've used successfully on various steel parts to keep them from rusting. The stuff has done a great job.

    Disclaimer: I have no affiliations with the below store.. If you don't want to drop the $175 for one up front, Knife Works is taking pre-orders without payment on the regular production ones, not numbered. I'm sure those are sold out anyway...

    Fixed blade for day hiking

    Thanks guys. Looks like you pushed me over the fence on the ESEE-4. :laughing: gorn, I checked out the Nimvarus and although it's nice, it's a bit more than I want to pay for a hiking knife. Love my Benchmades though.

    Fixed blade for day hiking

    I've been reading quite a bit over the last few hours and narrowed my choices for a day hike knife down to the ESEE-4 and the Gerber LMF II. I know they seem big for just a day hike that may last 1-4 hours but that's the size I want and don't have a problem carrying it since I already lug...

    Any Double Action OTF owners?

    I carry a Microtech Combat Troodon (double edge plain) for work. Hasn't failed me yet.
