Which models have very "aggressive knurling"?

[mahlonge]

I saw a smallish [maybe 4" long or less] light I liked alot [just the appearance] It had a very "bumpy" exterior, clearly raised knobby texture that was described as having "aggressive knurling," which is what I am looking for--probably knurling that is among the most aggressive. Can anyone suggest specific models built along such lines?

Try G&R A20 from DX or Kaidomain.
About $20, Q5, five mode,great for kicking around,
rugged enough.

that new Solarforce L2X should be aggressive enough.

IMO, Surefire has the most aggressive and useful knurling. Look for a single cell SF light. Not the E1b though.

ITP SA series , perhaps?

The $15 Energizer 1 watt 1AA light sold at Target has a bumpy, aggressive knurling as you described.

Be sure to get the version with the stipled ("orange peel") reflector. It uses a Cree LED and is brighter than the earlier Luxeon version.

Sore subject. I've pulled my hair out hairpull trying find an elegant 26mm cell charger.

Havn't seen a quality option since LITEmania closed up shop.

Sounds more like an opportunity than a problem...

Seconding the Surefire knurling. The etching on my L1 is not super deep but it has the grippiest feel of any light I own.

out of all my SF, FM, Quark, Fenix, ..., lights w. knurling,
i like the Inova T-series one best

... not raised too much, not sharp or sticky so very easy to pocket, but still very grippy.

unfortunately I dont like the lights

This SOlarforce body is the best

I haven't seen one of those in Target for a long time.

The stores in my area (n. Illinois) have the Energizer 1AA lights, but have reduced their selection of other flashlights (and knives) in general.
