Who is the Spyderco of Flashlights?

Spyderco: The knife company that builds reasonably priced, practical knives and will listen to customer demand and on occasions will bring back discontinued models for a spirit run and also has great product support and a decent following
Which light company is equivalent to that?

Streamlight probably comes closest to those requirements- exept bringing back discontinued models. The evolution of pocket-knives is a very different story than that of flashlights.

That's an easy one...StreamLight. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I would also say Streamlight. Like Spyderco, Streamlight is also mainstream in the consumer flashlight industry.

If Streamlight is the Spyderco of flashlights, who is the Pelican of knives??

Try that one. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

CRKT?

Or are they the 'Princeton Tec of knives'?

CRKT would be Princeton Tec to me.
Benchmade seems like surefire, always late introducing new products =D

I would also say streamlight.

Well how about UK, then. I think UK is the Boker of, of, ...Spyderco's! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Huh

And I guess the Gerber of flashlights would be... ummm... damn, I guess Gerber makes flashlights now too.

Hehe.

Yup and both have been royally screwed by fiskars

Then who would you say the "Skoal" of tampons would be?

How about the K&N of hearing aids? The Nabisco of shell reloaders? The "Preparation H" of leather cleaners?


Sorry, I know ya'll think these are stupid comments but I'm laughing my *** off............. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/duh2.gif

xochi:

Me, too!

(But, hey, who really IS the Spyderco of flashlights?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif)

Interesting.

__________ is the Spyderco of flashlights. Exit poles indicate Streamlight.

__________ is the Buck of flashlights.

__________ is the Gerber of flashlights. Gerber nominated.

__________ is the CRKT of flashlights. Pelican, Princeton Tec nominated.

__________ is the Kershaw of flashlights.

__________ is the Benchmade of flashlights. Surefire nominated.

__________ is the SOG of flashlights.

__________ is the MicroTech of flashlights. Mr. Bulk's nominated.

__________ is the Sebenza of flashlights.

You're quite right..
Spyderco - Streamlight
Benchmade - Surefire

If Mr. Bulk is the MicroTech of flashlights, I guess that pretty much means that the Aleph (McGizmo) is the Sebenza of flashlights.

Alright, now this is getting ridiculous. I come over here to get rid of the headache I get over in the modders forum /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ohgeez.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif.

OK, now I'm recovered.

Seriously, now. I don't see how Kershaw can make those knives like the Vapor and Vapor II, and maybe even the Chive and Scallion and sell them so cheap at places like Walmart. They are seriously great knives.

Now, I have a lot of lights, but not ALL flashlights, and I really would like to know who the Kershaw of flashlights is (incredibly cheap, great, handsome, outstanding light-blasters that are readily available--please no Maglites, Everreadys, Dorsys, or Colemans). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks.
