I like when all knife materials represent the character/purpose of the knife ELMAX with green canvas micarta, plain very practical, no frills and to the point knife as ELMAX is a very balanced steel.

Sorry i thought you meant the cool white one, high CRI should be lower though i dont know how low, the Logan hCRI i have does seem also pretty bright too. i really like the hCRI Logan model not only for the color rendition but also because the warm temperature of the light is easier on the eyes, i l...

There are various ways to rate and list brightness, not all lumens are even created equally. No clue personally, it sure sounds more impressive :) . Here's a vid someone else shot on Youtube that shows the various levels on a Cool White Logan QTC. It's pretty darn bright: http://www.youtube.com/wat...

Hey bh49, Yea the Logan 123 model I have will use either a CR123 or a IMR16340. It won't use a RCR123 I hear due to sizing. The difference is on a primary you trade a little brightness for extra runtime. In fact, due to these being modular you could buy the 17500 version's tube and have the option ...

thanks for the review Blerv, i have that light in 17500 QTC body, its my favorite edc, and the most versatile pocket light i have. the beam has a hotspot with a generous spill, which means its an all around beam (which for me is perfect for edc). the body allows for a 17500 lithium ion battery which...

SQSAR, its a Frog Leg from Diaz Tools, a really nice knife. Mr. Blonde, you have had good luck with your clickies, but really one of the weakest points of a flashlight is the clickie switch. tested both by companies as by final users. Of course some clickies are better that others, electronic clicki...

...I was shocked, because most people will agree that S30V tends to lose that shaving sharp edge within the first few cuts and then hold a working edge for a long time.
