I have been an admirer of PK's work for a while now, always appreciated the daring designs that stand out from the crowd. It was an honor to speak several times and a real gentleman.............. a down to earth cool dude gentleman!
Loved mr fixers PK family that is forever growing, i could get the attraction and to why with the history, designs etc and now it makes even more sense in the ano!
Well a HUGE thanks to PK, had a knock at the door this afternoon and a box passed to me.
Not got a clue about inside other than a PKDL discovery kit! I thought maybe a PK compass or a self defense sleeping bag! with attack pillow
Real early initial impressions bellow, few pics(i like pics!) and early thoughts so far on these tactical designed art work tools. As art is more for looking at than writing about, i will let pics do most of the talking rather than me
I say art simply because of the bold, striking design which stands out from the norm. Its not flashlight use, its an occasion and you know your holding something designed by PK. For me personally, that in itself gives it that special aura .
Inside
The pen is stunning.........striking!
Very smooth retraction, really does feel comfortable in hand due to the head design having smooth arches. The index finger just sits naturally in place(like putting your foot up!) .
The PK guarding the python!
Makes me want to write a poem.................about kicking a55 :laughing:
This beauty PK PL2-Ti02 rainbow
Fed on an AAA eneloop
2 mode high 110lm and Low 12lm which starts in high
Again very smooth with decent resistance(wont be coming loose when carried!)
Cool beam, nice useful spill and defined hot spot(not too focused). Feels nice in hand, smooth feel to the body, yet good grip with the knurling design. Its a light weight light........well for the way it looks, it feels light in hand and will test it out on keys in the coming days/weeks.
The Rocket! so cute yet so aggressive, a contradiction in your hand
Its crazy when you see pics of this PR-1 and how small it looks.................because it is!
3 mode, starts in high. Firm press(accidental activation is unlikely )momentary switch, H/M/L .
In hand
Next to some 16340 lights for size
HDS/PK/D25C/V11R
16340 is pretty much my fav EDC size for a happy medium, output/size and ok run times(enough for my uses)
Food for PK
No cell movement in this light, nice firm spring and plenty of grip on the tail cap to secure it.

Hot spot not harsh, nice amount of useful spill without too much for those who dont want to completely flood the area ahead.
Feels nice in hand, lots of grip with even more in abundance on the body knurling. For those who like deep pocket carry, the clip is sure for that. Soft to moderate retention, not too sure on it myself as tend to not rely on clips. I mainly use them for an anti-roll but the head has that in the design.
Slight OP reflector which smooths the hotspot out nicely
The 3 PK's together
Will add in time a few beam pics, be warned they wont be great as its me taking them:nana: and impressions over time. For now i will give it the 3 B's! Bold, Brilliant, Bright. Its hard to get across in pics and words, its something you need in your hand to have that "PK occasion" .
I am sat here holding the Rocket thinking fist full of lumen
Cheers
