Spyderco Forums

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.

Pretend this is the maxamet native 51000 lumens 400 meters, let there be light. Can't wait till christmas.

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.

Hi Folks!


Old pic of my current EDC Core: :)

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

Whats the output on the sidewinder? if you dont mind me asking.

I have the standard MH20 in neutral white. Got it just before the GT was announced. Quite bummed about not getting the GT.

Weekdays:
Techno and AAA Maratac


Weekends:

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 :D

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.

cheers, John

Well you've got me beat on runtime. Mine is good for 20-30 minutes on max. 900lumen 2-3hrs. if Im conservative and run at 170-300lumen I carry an extra battery.

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

surprised to only see Olight once in this list... very impressed with their lights, particularly the S1 and larger but more powerful S2 Baton.

Maratac AAA in brass has been my edc -- great little light. Also have a variety of Fenix lights.
