Not a knife but...a Nitre Blued Damascus Flashlight!

I'd recommend this in a heartbeat:

Go here: http://www.lummi.co.uk/orbraw.php

And order this:

£40.00 ORB RAW CR-E LED, Worldwide Charger, RCR2 protected Li-on rechargeable battery, protective case, lanyard kit.

It's aluminum...so it's not as fancy. But still way cool. And it's insanely bright for something that size. I suggest ordering with the #1 configuration (120 lumens high, 15 lumens low)...Trust me, if you keep this on your bedside table and turn on anything higher than 15 lumens...well, you'll be sorry for the first couple of minutes. :D

Also order it with a tritium "locator"...It glows in the dark 24/7...for over 12 years!

Oh, and get an extra battery (you'll be glad you did).

The whole shibang will run you somewhere around $100 bucks (don't know the exact exchange rate of British £ to US $). Incredible bang for the buck! :thumbup:

No contest. The newest custom lights will easily blow them away!

With few exceptions most of those cheap (and ubiquitous), multi LED lights typically put out as much as 10 lumens, better ones can output 15-20 lumens...with fresh batteries...on a good day (the lights that have 20 or more LED's can do better). Here's a review of a 12 LED flashlight that I picked at random:http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/amart_12led_2aa.htm

By comparison, the latest, state-of-the-art, custom LED flashlights that have been outfitted with either the new Cree or the Seoul LED bulbs, can crank out 120-150 lumens...and possibly more (they're rated for as much as 240 lumens...but that's under perfect, controlled conditions). And yes, that's from a single bulb! :D

This little fellow is called the Raw...made by a custom maker in England. http://www.lummi.co.uk/orbraw.php This is the 3 watt version that's been equiped with the (optional) new Cree emitter... It uses a small, rechargeable photo cell. This particular one was part of a short run of the Cree XR-E versions (15 pieces) that he recently made out of Titanium. Rob sent this one to me to anodize. It's just under 1 7/8" and yet it can crank out 15 lumens on the "Low" setting, and over 120 lumens on "High"....!!!!!
