Spyderco/flashlight match-up.....
Re: Spyderco/flashlight match-up.....
My October EDC. M4 pm2, 900-lumen Nitecore EC-11, and the H1 DFly. The DFly and the EC11 are waterproof, that's more convenient than you might think. I plan on adding a Nitecore MH20-GT and a maxamet native 5 to the line up this christmas, that should make a fine pair.

Re: Spyderco/flashlight match-up.....
Neat thread.
I've just got some Olights, a couple Nitecores, and some other cheapies. I don't even carry one daily, just if I know I'll be out and about.

Of course when out in the bush and roughing it it's time to break out the real survivors............
Spyderco Pacific Salt: NSN 1095-01-608-4332
Streamlight Sidewinder: NSN 6230-01-556-0487
Cammenga Tritium Wrist Compass: NSN 6605-00-809-5252
With the Pacific Salt I finally found a good sized light weight folder that can rough it, the Sidewinder is the most versatile and useful LED lamp I've ever had, and the Cammenga compass can be carried without getting in the way or forgetting where I put it.
cheers, John

Hi ZrowsN1s,
this chart is from the Streamlight site.....
they are not super bright but they are very useful: clip on, stand up, adjustable angle, 2 x AA batteries, easy on the eyes when map reading at night, bright enough to light up a tent or room, all colours have four brightness settings and can strobe.
I have two types:
USMC type... White, IR, Red & Blue
Aviator type... White, IR, Green & Blue
I keep one in my back pack and one in the car.
cheers, John

Saw a lot of people on candle power forum saying the same. Just remember that the MH20 is awesome in it's own regard. And not everyone wants a spotlight anyways. MH20 is more floody than the GT. If you cant fix it make it a feature :DSkaaphaas wrote:I have the standard MH20 in neutral white. Got it just before the GT was announced.

The Nirvana pairs well with the EagTac D25C Ti 2017.

Hi,
the NSN is a National Stock Number/NATO Stock Number, the code given to items sold to the government, it carries over into NATO and allied countries....... explained well here.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Stock_Number
I think the only Spyderco knife with the code is the black/black standard blade Pacific Salt.
cheers, John

Re: Spyderco/flashlight match-up.....
surprised to only see Olight once in this list... very impressed with their lights, particularly the S1 and larger but more powerful S2 Baton.
