    The Largest Swiss Army Knife I Have Ever Seen!

    Here's a pretty neat website that has detailed info on just about every Victorinox, Wenger, and leatherman ever made. It should keep you occupied for about 6 months to 2 years. https://smartknives.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Army.html

    Headlight vs flashlight

    Flashlight for the last 20 years until I re-discovered that headlamps are great. Now use a $20 Petzl Tikkina for task around the house. Or a Fenix E01 in my mouth. No more breaking Surefire clips with on a hat brim or worrying about getting dirt on a Malkoff. Away from home always flashlight...

    WTB: Surefire E series single cr123 body

    Sounds good. I know the feeling (of buying too much). Thanks for the info, I'll contact Akula88. Don't know what you have but the SF Tactician and the Max Beam series are VERY floody. Too floody for me. The EDC1LT is my definition of a perfect balance. Malkoff Hyper Throw series too throwy to...

    WTB: Surefire E series single cr123 body

    Tight hotspot. Very tight. 5 low 90 lumen high. 41 hrs runtime low, 6 hrs on high. The story on this light is that I had all of the outdoorsman series at some point and sold all of them and decided that this E1L-A along with several E1b's would be my "legacy" lights that I would keep forever and...

    WTB: Surefire E series single cr123 body

    I’m guessing you no longer need one but just in case. Original owner, box and papers. $150 delivered. I base the price off of a e1o 45/3 model that recently went for about $150. Mine is the 90/3 model.

    ok if you won the big lotto what would you buy?

    I would fix the "check engine light" on my 300k miles toyota and then buy all versions of the Malkoff E2 XT that I don't need but want to play with. After about a month of testing and evaluation, I would conclude that they're not that practical for edc use. The now unused lights would sit on...

    Cheap lights and your thoughts....

    In keeping with the old thread stuff theme: Bought a $20 Petzl headlamp recently from REI to replace my $30 (probably $60 with inflation) REI branded headlamp from 1992 that I haven't used in 30 years. Its a game changer. Forgot how useful headlamps are. No more Malkoff in my mouth. Also fell...

    SureFire EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT

    I haven't been excited about anything or bought any significant lights in several years. This one excites me. Been using the EDC l1t with an Efest 16340 almost exclusively for a few years now. I too am hoping for a gas pedal but would settle for a twist head for high/low. The defender style 2...

    RIP Chuck Yeager 1923-2020

    Great American. Past away yesterday. Dec. 7th (Pearl Harbor Day). Almost missed it in the news. Figured we hear more about it. I read his autobiography over the summer. Was always enamoured with him as a kid but had no idea of his many exploits and accomplishments. Great book if your into...

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    Bummer, now I can't use the HD18650 Neutral camping/boating etc. Too risky, Hate to think it can't be replaced if dropped in the drink. Guess I need to do some lanyard research.

    Malkoff M61HOT Neutral groupbuy - Interest Thread

    I'm late to the conversation as usual. Just logged on to the site because of the new E2xtd. I'm obsessed with throw even though I find it extremely annoying for pretty much anything I use a light for. With that said, used the HD18650 warm last weekend on a stroll on a beach with the family...

    Dead and resurrected battery

    Protection circuit? I'm not an expert on this subject, just adding an experience. About a year or two ago was doing a runtime test on a Malkoff bodyguard with a Keepower 16650. The bodyguard runs on high for about 8 seconds at about 2.1 amps and then steps down. I wanted to see how many 8...

    BEST GENERAL FLASHLIGHTS FOR USE IN HOUSE, CAR, and BUG OUT BAG

    What kind of battery is best? Rechargeable or non-rechargeable? If you use a light a lot in your everyday life then rechargeable is the way to go. A decent charger can be had for around $15 bucks. Most folks here are probably aware of their batteries state of charge and probably voltmeter...
