Any love flashlights like they love knives????

[Bucky]

First off, all due deference to akula57 from whom I stole this idea (his was watches).

Like watches, I am sure many of you also carry a flashlight everyday. It complements a knife even better than a watch IMHO. Whether it is a Photon II, a Mini-Mag, or maybe even a Sure Fire 6P.

Personally, I carry a White Photon II on my keychain everywhere I go. I have a Pelican MityLite Magnum that is quite useful as well as the requisite D-cell Mag and Mini-Mag. I also purchased a Sure Fire 9P which really is unbelievably bright. I am looking to purchase a Sure Fire M2 Centurion as well, which is smaller, brighter and waterproof (anyone have a M2, opinions).

All these lights complement my LM Wave or PST II one of which I will carry daily until I get my hands on a BM 705. When camping/canoeing, or doing anything where no ambient light is available, a flashlight allows a knife to be used at night where otherwise it could not be. No flashlight, no use of the knife, no matter how great the multi-tool/knife.

So what knife/flashlight combo(s) do you carry?

Thanks, Bucky

Head over to the Gadgets and Gear Forum for all the flashlight talk you could hope for.

My personal carry is a Streamlight Scorpion and both Red and White PII's, but I am eagerly awaiting the release of the Surefire E1. I keep a Streamlight Stinger on a charger at home as well as Scorpions in each vehicle and UK 2L's in emergency kits.

stjames, thanks for the tip, as a newbie I was unaware of the Gadgets and Gear Forum.
I checked it out and found plenty 'o flashlight talk like you predicted. I will take any questions/comments on flashlights etc. to that forum and keep my love for blades alive here.

Thanks again for the tip, sorry for the lame thread.

The topic cop sees the proliferation of things like the "small furry things" thread, and sends this one over to Gadgets and Gear.
