Have $200 to spare, What to do?

[ibute21]

Get yourself a Spyderco Gayle Bradley and a Saddleback Leather wallet. You'll have a little money left over and you'll thank me later.

:thumbup:

I received a GB and a Saddleback leather medium bi-fold for my birthday. Quite possibly the best EDC combo I've received yet.

I 2nd the Ra Clicky Tactical. I carry the 170 and it was well worth the money.

I can honestly say I'm not getting one of those, as great as it may be $160 is the base price, with no extras I could never imagine paying that for my first flashlight. Maybe I will see the light(punn intended) and get one later in life, but right now I'm just a knife fanboy taking a spin at flashlights.

Um... let me put it this way. The light *is* the extras. 4 modes, intuitive UI (even for the technologically challenged), unbelievably durable, crazy bright, just about perfect beam, excellent warranty/CS, excellent battery life, etc.

You pay $160 up front, but you save money not buying a whole bunch of "lesser" lights, have them break, and get a Clicky anyway. Just trust me on this one. The Clicky, IMHO, is the best pocket EDC light out there. I've had my 140E for a year now, and it's still every bit as amazing as when I first got it.



However, the Surefire G2X Pro is pretty cool too. I would get one now before the price doubles, as it will in a few weeks or so. Not EDC material, IMO (too big/heavy), but a very nice light nonetheless.

Eh, I think I'll start out with a fenix eo1 for my keys

Thinkin about the gayle bradley, really cool and I like the cf scales.

I realize that what I'm about to mention may not appeal to you. Perhaps I just need to share my confusion with someone. A few weeks ago I bought a BK&T #5. Paid around $80 dollars for it. A fine, practical using camp knife with a blade designed by Jerry Fisk.

Yesterday I discovered the identical knife offered on consignment at A.G Russell
for $195. I am clueless as to the spectacularly rapid appreciation. Perhaps a roll of the dice with your $200 would land you an appreciating phenomenon.

If any of you know what is going on I'd be happy to learn of it.

Oh and anyone know a busse for $200, and not a kin either.

You might be able to find a Busse lanyard for $200, but that's about it, unless you go with Swamp Rat.

Fountain pens are a good choice, I have a Namiki Vanishing point from the 1994 era that Im gonna set up on ebay those are very hard to come by.

Invest your 200 bucks in an IRA.

Best Idea yet!

So have you decided what you're getting yet? Sounds like a flashlight will be part of the package, but what else?

 

[Nternal]

400 tacos from jack in the box.

My vote goes for the Saddleback wallet (I wish I just hadn't heard about those), and .1 oz of gold.

 

[hoopster]

Of all the things I've bought in the past few years, if I had to re-spend $200 I'd get a Spyderco Sage1 and a Fenix tk-35.

Or a carbon fiber spyderco military and a maratac aaa flashlight.
Either combo is worth every penny. :thumbup:

 

[hoopster]

NOOOOOOOO! The Maratac AAA is 10 times the light the fenix EO1 is, trust me I've had both.

Buy an ESEE 4, 6, or Junglas!!!

I'm over the whole esee thing. I feel that Becker has the same quality for way less. And if I'm getting a nice fixed it'll be a busse or kin. They way things are looking now though, I'll probably spend $100 on a knife(most likely a spyderco folder) $45 for the wallet and $55 on a flashlight. anyone know a good $50 flashlight?
