What I should do Stick is just forward you the money, then you can send me a nice example of your favorite carry model

I thought the same on the Prometheus lights. They are the same size as old Maglights and such.
I had a Jetbeam, a DC30, that I liked until a brother lost it on lend.
Likewise the only Lens Light that appeals to me is the Mini single output. Simply because I do like really simple output settings. The Jetbeam was a bezel twist with 30 lumen low ( if I recall properly) and 300 Lumen High.
You should totally do that. I'll likely be picking up a ZL SC52w for a good friend of mine. He saw mine, and got way jealous. So, I'm going to see if I can help him get one with a good tint. I remember the DC30 I think, seemed like a good light. 30Lm is a bit bright for me for a low, as I've gotten used to the sublumen modes and a decent 1-5 lumen low. That's just for my use though, since I use my light at night and in theaters quite a bit.
The thing is with the larger high end and custom lights, is that for single AA and CR123a sizes, you can get that output and build quality from production lights. 500lm from a 14500 Li-ion is pretty nice, and I just dig mode options.
What light are you using now Steel?
My ZebraLight shipped today. Excited.
OoOoOOoo, which one?
That's pretty complicated but I understand what you mean. My take on what Dave did, gleaned from his own comments, is that such occasional largesse is part of his business plan. Thus, I didn't have any qualms about mentioning it. And he's an adult. He's not going to feel obligated if he doesn't want to be.
Why would I, if they don't post regularly on USN or are members there? That would be a bit stupid, don't you think? And of course they were doing it to be nice. Why else? They wanted to take the sting out of being ripped off, a little bit. It's very human, just as inventing infractions of vague rules is human.
Well, you have a point sir. I should have made the offer myself, though I don't have any premium knives to lend. But maybe that would have guilt tripped someone? Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts.
What Dave does for people is his business. It's not your business to suggest he do so for someone else outside of his discretion. It's as simple as that, and if you need to attempt a more complex explanation of it, it just serves as an obfuscation of the truth that it's just not your business to put about what Dave might or might not do. He can read, and he does read, this subforum. If he's going to do something, he'll do it. Again, it's not your business to put about something like him giving gifts because someone simply posted online that they lost their knife.
If you want nice things to happen, then do them yourself. I've given many an item to the guys here from flashlights to knives to sharpeners. I do it of my own accord, and it's my business to do so. It's no one else's business to go ahead and say "sticktodrum might give you something, he's been known to do that." It's insulting and inappropriate, because no matter how you attempt to cloud it, you're putting forth an expectation you have no business putting forth.
Come to think of it, it might not be a terrible idea for the forum to have a few loaner knives lying around specifically for that purpose. Most people wouldn't need it, but again it might take the sting out for someone who's last very dear knife has been stolen or lost to be able to play with a new or different one. And it crosses my mind that there might well be people on the forum already who have that in mind. It need not be a giveaway item at all, to be appropriate and timely, and appreciated.
Yeah, no. Losing a knife is the price of admission when it comes to taking your knife with you. That goes for every object, even ones that don't leave your house. It's ridiculous to try to have some situation where people put their knives forward to be passed around because someone posts a thread that their knife was stolen. If you'd like, then when you see someone post that, send them your knife and ask that they send it back when they can afford a new one.
