ARC AAA in TOOLLOGIC Knife

I was in Sevierville TN at the Smokey Mountain Knife Works this week. I bought a TOOLLOGIC knife that was made to hold the Mag Solitare. The ARC AAA fits in the knife just fine. It has a nice blade on it for the price. It also has a pocket clip and whistle. The knife was $19.95. I did a quick search and did not see where this particular knife was mentioned before. I think it is a good combination.

Did it come with the Mag too for that price?

Nope. You have to buy the mag separately. I was not going to buy it if the ARC AAA did not fit because I did not want to use the mag.

Careful Larry, M*g may sue you for willfully infringing on space intended for one of their lights!

hmmmmm???? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

i think mcgimzo made a pigyback knife/arc aaa thingy a while ago too. i really like it.

i need a freaking mill /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/broke.gif

how does the arc aaa stay fastened in there? and does it hold it in tight enough to have no worries?

Where can I buy that online?
Thanks,
Rob

Here it is with a LED light on Ebay...........

Is it an SL1?

You can get them from Smokey Mountain Knife works. http://www.eknifeworks.com
The site for the SL1 is http://www.toollogic.com/feat_sl1.html
I don't see any knives sold without a flashlight, but it looks like the light is removable. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

It looks like it might be the SL1M, the smaller version. AFAIK, the only main difference between the SL1 and SL1M is the SL1 has a 3" blade and the SL1M has a 2" blade. Smoky Mt Knife Works has the SL1M for $20 and the SL1 for $30.

I've seen these around before, and just did a quick search in google, and have never seen mention that it was supposed to be used with a Mag Solitaire. Every place I've seen it for sale it comes with a button-cell powered LED light. Is this something new, or just a regular SL1M? Will the regular SL1 or SL1M hold an ARC too?

It will not hold an Arc, at least not the early models. Mr Bulk and I did a collaboration and made some Kydex holders that fit the Tool Logic. The light that comes with the knive is a bit brighter than an Arc but it has no regulation and a much shorter run time.
I have a new in box Tool Logic SL1 and maybe a Arc holder for it, if anyone is interested.

There are actually several new models now, one with a blank sealed compartent for holding waterproof matches or whatever (it is a survival knife) and another with a compartment newly sized for the Solitaire, as well as the original one with the button cell led light. And as Neonlights mentioned there is also a smaller version although I know not whether the container up top is the same size.

And yes Dana, that was a rather cool collaboration, eh? It appears we were before our time and ToolLogic saw it (or perhaps some users objected to the weird little LED light they included).

Yeah Charlie, we was ripped off.

The 2" blade version doesn't look to me like it would hold an Arc AAA. Even if the battery compartment happens to be the correct diameter and holds the Arc securely, it must be way too short. The 2" would be my choice for regular carry otherwise. Prefer non-serrated blades. The 2" might still be a nice tool with its OEM LED light.

Ok, I did a little more searching, and it looks like the Toollogic knife we are talking about is the SL2, the one with the waterproof compartment. The waterproof compartment (for matches, etc) will also hold a Solitaire, and now, I guess we've found out an ARC AAA too.

The one I have says that it is made for the mag solitare. It did not come with the solitare. The compartment is blank with a capsule type head with gaskets. The ARC AAA fits in mine just like it was made for it. I can't find a model number on it. Mine has a 3 inch blade. I bought it at Smokey Mountain Knife Works in person.

Just looked at the Toollogic site and it would be the SL2.

How is the build quality of the knife? Would it survive EDC?

Ah, SL2. I found it here for 17.95.
