    Holy lightsabres, Batman.

    You are going to have to stop recommending these things Beruit. Last time you linked to the Cold Steel website I ended up buying one of their locking knives for camping and sailing. And very pleased indeed I am with it. Now I just KNOW I'm going to end up buying a surefire of some sort...

    No mention of a headtorch I notice. I use mine more than any other torch.

    Something called "ultimate hunter". The name is a bit macho for my taste but it promised to be a folding knife that locked out as strongly as a fixed knife, and it is. (I didn't put that very well but you know what I mean). very robust. Takes an excellent edge too. Very pleased with it. Only been using it six months or so but so far its looking very good.

    Previously used an Opinel, which are also nice knives, though obviously a lot lighter. That's been demoted to a gardening knife now.

    I carry a led torch in my backpack... sturdy little thing and bright without the bright spot in the middle fading off and then a bright outer ring... the led makes it far more level across the lit zone.

    Argh, my mini-maglite seems so puny in comparison to those surefire torchs...I think I may have to order the 6P, it just looks so damn sexy. Very reasonable price too.

    EA, did you have any problem getting your knife past customs? I really wanted one of those locking folders from the coldsteel site, but I thought they were illegal in this country and that it would be seized.
