    My first Knife.

    I'm in much the same boat, open or concealing a fixed blade, even a small one, is simply not an option for me, at least at this moment in time, and while I do plan on dipping into fixed blades (probably later this year) at sometime, right now, I have a long list of high value, high quality...

    My first Knife.

    Amazon dropped the price on the M16's they sell to about $40 shipped, still a bit pricey for what it is, in my opinion. I may pick one up one day, but I think the M16 is really something I need to see in person before I make any further judgement calls about it. I have a Spyderco Persistence...

    What was the last LED light you purchased and why?

    Fenix E01(s), wanted one to play with, and passed 2 out to family members to finally retire the 4-6 year old Mag Solitaires that have ruled keychains for so long.

    Show your beat up light.

    +1 I've never heard of someone managing to completely smooth a SureFire tailcap, and I've heard a lot about SureFire tailcaps. :popcorn:

    My first Knife.

    I've generally be underwhelmed by what I've seen from CRKT and the price of their product for the steel and construction you get. For the $49-$69 you'll pay for the M16, It really doesn't deliver anything you can't get with a fair less expensive blade, of the same quality. I do like some of...

    My first Knife.

    Your not a true knifeaholic until you have a Skyline. :D The Skyline really is a nice blade, good steel (14C28N), thin, lightweight, good lock up and comes with Kershaw's great customer care who've got your back if you ever need them. The Volt II is nice, as it's an assisted opener, but if you...

    My first Knife.

    So, After just a few weeks, quite a bit has changed. I ended up returning the blade I showed above, after I bought a Kershaw Chill. The Chill was razor sharp out of the box, and the S&W was... not. The S&W was actually quite a disappointment for the price, the handle was nice, but the thumbstuds...

    LED Street Lighting Pics

    Here in Arizona, the city of Scottsdale has been testing some LED lamps in street lamps which are sitting on motorway overpasses. This has just started in about the last 30-60 days, and took me by quite a bit of surprise. From my best judgement, they look to be 4 rows of 18-24 LEDs. Like I said...

    How do you carry your EDC light?

    Currently run my E1e hanging on my right pocket with the clip, with my Kershaw Chill in the pocket. Nice little EDC combo. E1e will be replaced by an E1B once I save up the other $60 for it though.

    Do any of you use Incandescent lights anymore?

    Weirdly right now I'm using mostly SureFire incans, E1e, E2e, 6P, the older A2 Incan, all of which very good, I think I'll be picking up a new E1B, which will put my 5 year old E1e a well deserved, retirement with dignity. My L1, E2L and L2 are all a bit lonely on my shelf at the moment.

    My first Knife.

    I'm currently in the US, in Arizona, so I'm lucky to be able to take advantage of some of the relaxed laws on knives and concealed carry of such things. When I do travel home to the UK for visits, leaving my knives here in the states will be a no brainer.

    My first Knife.

    Thanks for all the replies, I wasn't expecting near as much advice as I received! Big thanks out to carrot, I'm still reading that post for the 6th time to soak everything in. :eek: (Big thanks to RedLed for the warm welcome too!) I after I took a few more good looks at local knife carry laws...
