    I was Haiku, then Mule, then Sundrop.

    McGizmo - 2018

    My first custom light was a McGizmo Haiku. My second was a McGizmo Mule. My third was a McGizmo Sundrop XR-U. I went from zero customs lights to three in less than a year. Since then I added a couple of triples (Hanko and BOSS). But my most cherished and by far most often carried lights are...

    Diamond etched was how I ordered mine a couple of years ago.

    LED flashlight enthusiasm seems to be waning

    I’m late to the party, but generally agree with the original post comments. My first serious LED light was a SF Aviator that featured a main xenon bulb and 3 low output LEDs. For EDC I bought a flurry of single AA or A123 powered lights. I finally landed on the Olight T10 which was a...

    v5 Triple BOSS Flashlight (Bright Output Small Size)

    Ordered my vintage copper 35 last night. I’m pretty stoked for this. I think it’s time for me to try something new. The world does not revolve around Ti alone. This should be a good test to see if this can take away pocket time from my McGizmos or Hanko.

    Please tell me why spiderco knives are worth the price tag?

    Byrd is Spyderco's budget brand. Chinese steel and manufacturing, but certainly on par with the imported Kershaw

    post your streamlights

    I still have my 199x rechargeable Stinger 75014, and a couple of TwinTask 2Ls for around the house. I gave my ProTac 1L to my son a couple of years ago.

    They have a wide variety of innovative designs, solidly engineered, and built with quality materials at very competitive prices. Customer service is second to none.

    Dangerous Side of Folding Knives

    Two knives: Frikkie friction folder (fixed by using an o-ring as a rubber band safety), and a small Protech push button auto I carried loose in my pocket.

    What do you EDC (Every Day in your Car); what light is in your car?

    Back in the day it was a 2D and then a 3D Maglight. But both welded solid due to alkaline battery leakage over time in the harsh summer & winter temperature cycles. So only lithium A123 lights now. Current one is an Olight S2 Baton. Extra credit: Car knife is a Spyderco Dragonfly 2 ZDP-189.

    The holster can be your friend. Embrace it.....

    I have used a Streamlight 1 cell A123 ProTac holster everyday for the last 5 or so years. It fit my OlightT10, then my Ti EagleTac, and now my McGizmo Sundrop. They are well built, but have no excess bulk. Rides right behind my iPhone.

    Your first light and where it all began...

    Flashlight as a serious tool? Maglight 3D cell. Flashlight as serious EDC? Olight T10. My wife carries it now.
