    Victorinox Sportsman II -- yuck

    Ok, that seems to be a misconception. If I needed a SAK to make an emergency repair, the a Climber 2 (economy version) would do just as well as the standard climber. The only difference is the handle material, and it is no less durable than the standard material, just not quite a nice to look...

    Victorinox Sportsman II -- yuck

    [ QUOTE ] thesurefire said: Its to bad to see such great companies coming out with products like this. [/ QUOTE ] Like what? I dont think the economy line is all that new. In fact, I beleive the same handle material has also been used for some time on Vic's larger locking models. Anyways, I...

    Victorinox Sportsman II -- yuck

    I too suspect you came across one from the economy line. As already stated, the handles are different. I like the handles because they do not seem to scar as easily. Quality of the knives is every bit as good as the prettier handled ones. I have 3 of the "Climber 2" models that Lowes had for...

    Inova X1 opinions...?

    I have the X1 and love it. Yes, it really has the spot beam. It takes some getting used to, especially if you are trying to walk through a cluttered area that is really dark. You can adjust to it, but it still is not as easy as using something like the CMG Ultra or any number of other LED...

    X5 lookalike with AAx1 or the Inova X1

    I have a CMG Ultra and an Inova X1. Both are excellent quality. I think the Inova probably has a slight edge in fit and finish, but as far as durability and quality, one is as good as the other. The Ultra is a good light for pocket carry and a good flood of light with long run time. The X1 is...

    Do you think Wal-Mart will carry Ultras?

    I was just wondering if anybody thinks its possible that places like Wal-Mart will start carrying Ultras and Sonics since Gerber now owns CMG. They tend o carry a fair selection of Gerber products anyway. I would love it if they did, good lights at Wal-Mart type prices.

    Tulsa/Oklahoma Flashaholic Get Togethers

    Being fairly new to flashlight collecting, I would probably be a bit out of place, but I sure would be interested in trying to participate in some sort of gathering.

    One of those "help me choose" threads

    Re: One of those \"help me choose\" threads Thanks everybody for the help. I ended up with the SL, but the one that takes one battery instead of two. It fits in the watch pocket of my jeans very nicely and is quite easy to carry. I got it at the gunshow here over the weekend from a SL...

    One of those "help me choose" threads

    Re: One of those \"help me choose\" threads Thanks for the replies folks. Looks like based on a very slight advantage in fit and finish, that I will probably get the X5. It will be a carry light some days when I can carry something a bit larger than my Ultra. Its mainly to satisfy my urge for a...

    One of those "help me choose" threads

    Re: One of those \"help me choose\" threads Its use will be just kind of a general light. I prefer lights that can be carried daily if I get the urge. It probably wont see any hard use or abusive use. Its kind of sounding like the X5 maybe the way to go. And of course the main reason, I just...

    One of those "help me choose" threads

    Re: One of those \"help me choose\" threads Yeah, both would be OK, but there is a gunshow this weekend, and my wife has already decided she wants a new pistol, so one light is probably all I am going to get. The extra throw of the regular bulb is as I said not real important. The light would...

    One of those "help me choose" threads

    One of those \"help me choose\" threads Ok, I have gone without a new light long enough. My 2 choices are the Streamlight TT that runs on two of the 123 batteries or the Inova X5. I know the SL will have the option of the regular bulb also where the Inova wont, but that is not really a big...

    My very cool new cheap Timex Reaf Gear Diver

    Great, I have a few watches but never thought to much about making it a hobby. After seeing some the of the ones people here have shown, guess I might have to get another 1 or 2...or 3

    Need a watch

    The Casio I have does the alarms the way you want it. It has 4 which can be set serately. They will each go off at the same time every day. The one time alarm means they will just go off once that day, but will remain set and do it again the next day. It also has a 5th snooze alarm. It goes off...
