    My new EDC Benchmade 707

    I've had a couple of 707s and currently carry the Blackwater 16707 version at work. I like the blade profile a bit more, but really hated the Blackwater logo on the blade, so I sanded the black finish off to remove the logo. Doesn't look great, but the logo was just a bit too cheezy for my...

    Victorinox or Wenger?

    I tend to like Wenger a bit more for the the lock on the 85mm knives and I've had one for ten years without any issues. Just a solid and tight as the day I bought it. Love the Victorinox Cadets, though.

    Knives w/ deep pocket clips?

    Many of the William Henry knives have deep-riding clips, but might be more than you are looking to spend. They are fairly light duty as well.

    Strike bezel for Surefire E2D LED?

    I was wondering if it's possible to swap the strike bezel from my E2D to the new LED bezel I just purchased? If so, do I just unscrew the end? Thanks

    Anybody into small knives

    I really like smaller knives and try to get by with the smallest knife I can that can still perform the tasks I might use it for. For years, my primary work knife was a Spyderco Spur. I also think Spyderco probably makes the best smaller knives out there.

    Peter Carey stag Nitro flipper

    That's a really nice looking knife. How big is it compared to a Small Seb(if you happen to have one)?

    Question about rechargeables and E2D/LED conversion

    I just ordered a LED conversion lit for my Surefire E2D and was wondering if the rechargeables I recenlty purchased would be OK for use? It seems that I might have burnt out the standard bulb as result of putting the rechargeables in. From what I can gather, my batteries are 3volt. I just don't...

    Surefire Problem E2D???

    Will this work? Thanks for the help, guys. I really appreciate it. I just ordered a LED conversion kit(can't remember the sku#, but it was for the E2D). Would I be able to use the rechargeables with it, or should I avoid them altoghter? I ask this as I have a no-name 3watt Luxeon LED at work...

    Surefire Problem E2D???

    No, it looks like the batteries are 3.0 volts based on the writing on their sides. I'm gonna have to send it in, aren't I?

    Surefire Problem E2D???

    When I stated "failure to work", I meant the light would not turn on at all, regardless of how tight the cap was screwed down. It did this from day1 to the point of not working at all now. I'll try cleaning it out and look at getting another lamp assembly, but I never got a chance to actually...

    Surefire Problem E2D???

    Do you mean non-chargeables? Yes, I have new batteries and they don't work.If that isn't what you mean, could you please explain? Thanks. All I know is that the light was wonky from the start with the cap working about 70% of the time. It then went downhill to the point of not working at all.

    Surefire Problem E2D???

    I just got a replacement tailcap for my Surefire E2D, as that seemed to be the most likely problem for the light's failure to work(took waaaayyy too long to get, but that's another strory). I'm wondering what else might be the problem? Is it possible that the re-chargeable batteries are the...

    Flashlight with Carry-On Luggage during Air Travel?

    I ended up not taking my E2D, but not because I feared loosing it. Hours before we left, I put in a new set of batteries. Once in, I turned the light on. Nothing. I took them out and put thenm in again...and again, nothing. I ended up playing with the light for an hour or so before giving up...

    Flashlight with Carry-On Luggage during Air Travel?

    :D:D. I actually did two searches before posting, but I found most of the info was a couple years old and wanted the most recent, first-hand knowledge could get. It sounds like the best bet is to carry it with me. That's likely what I'll do. Hopefully, no problems. Thanks guys.
