    Skilhunt Defier S2 (XM-L2, 1x18650 2xCR123A/RCR) Review: BEAMS, RUNTIMES, VIDEO+

    Selfbuilt, thanks for these clarifications! I will check the head and the threading myself before buying the torch although from what you say I cannot suspect any potential issue. Clearly, the light is an improvement over the previous models: it has the double anti-recoil spring of the X0...

    Skilhunt Defier S2 (XM-L2, 1x18650 2xCR123A/RCR) Review: BEAMS, RUNTIMES, VIDEO+

    CRKT Hissatsu

    A friend of mine complained about the edge retention on this knife. Fortunately, CRKT has similar designs in O-1 tool steel. Coming up this year is the Sakimori ("Warrior Protector") 5 3/4" inch blade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nxfHb_J2z8 Good design, although the tip is more upswept than...

    Skilhunt Defier X0 (XM-L T6, 2x CR123A, 1x18650)

    For submission in the Reviews forum SKILHUNT DEFIER X0 I chose the Defier X0 because I needed a good light source for my long expected first shotgun. (To explain my enthusiasm and long wait here it would be proper to note that I am from a European country and generally to get a license where I...
