[In_Flux]

Well, thanks to the fine members here and on CPF, I've done quite a few upgrades to my EDC.

Take a look, see if you can figure it out... :-\

Yeah, that looks like another flashlight on the keyring. What kind is it?

[fubar]

Every one has a flashlight who cares ? ( just kidding )

But : Tell me how you modified that multi to take a metal cutting blade .... please.

There is a small explanation of his mod here (http://edcforums.com/index.php?topic=166.msg5934#msg5934).

This is the thread: ETS Hacksaw/Leatherman Thread (http://www.equipped.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=survival&Number=36164&fpart=&PHPSESSID=)
Look at the posts by "ulfhedinn". He has a photo if you click on the link.

I used an18 tpi DeWalt bi metal sawz-all blade. I'd like to modify a couple more for different application maybe a wood cutting and a carbide one. But the metal is tough and I don't really have the right tools.

Okay, okay...

You're right it is another flashlight. It's a TnC keylux. They're not easy to come by... gotta keep your eyes open on the CPF B/S/T forums.

Somebody else asked about them a while back (Lowworm?) so I'll tell you what I know.


HA-III 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum- very solid construction.
RWOH 1 watt LED on ARC mania's custom board.
Regulated and powers the LED at aprox. 200mA.
Usually comes with "n" cell battery tube and rechargeable NiMH "N" Cell 500mah battery which gives it a run time of approx 60-70min.
I opted for the optional AAA battery tube and feed it e2 Lithiums for almost 3 hours runtime.



Oh, and the 550 fobs are by Ghostrider.

You kids and your crazy flashlights... ;)

Sweet! Thanks for the info. I like that Bugout Blade too.

[xDANx]

What folder is that? It looks really cool.

[In_Flux]

Thanks Dan! It's a Chris Reeve Small Sebenza with Micarta inlays.

They take a few months to order from the website ( http://chrisreeve.com/classic.htm (http://chrisreeve.com/classic.htm)) but if you do a Google search you can find 'em around.

It's a Small Classic with Micarta Inlay. Yes, that's a partially serrated blade. I know a lot of people prefer a plain edge, but I've always carried combos. :idiot2:

FWIW I had a super speedy and flawless transaction with Moore Cutlery (http://www.knives.cx/). Found 'em through this forum O0

What is the item between the atwood whistle and the keylux?

That's a small magnisium rod with flint striker wrapped in tape. The other tape wrapped item is a P-38 (?) can opener. Then there's a Sliver Gripper tweezers and finally the connector for my keys.

I find the Maxpedition Keyper an excellent way to secure all this stuff and keep it from falling to the bottom of my pocket. The Atwood Tac-Strap would probably work great too!

Thanks for you interest!

Mail call??? Okay, I'll play! :D

First up is my new ExoLion Ti flashlight (made by our own GregW). I have # 14/100. It has three brighness levels (middle one user adjustable), and is Tiny.
It's shown with a monkeyfist keyfob by Ghostrider.

Next up is my Son of Pry Thing by Peter Atwood. I made an email request to Peter for one of these almost a year ago when I first ran across his site. So of course I jumped on it when he did a small run of these last month. Mines a little different than most, as I prefer the bevel to be "grind up". Also notice the cool Tiger Stripes and mini Tek=Lok on the Kydex. This "thing" is also tiny. But not Tiny...

Okay, let's see. I also bought my first Strider! It's an older generation PT that's been customized with clear/translucent G-10 scales and a black G-10 back spacer.
The torx screws have also been faced off so they're flush.

Man that is a great collection, im in the market for a strider SnG but no luck, and all the gun shows i go to, i have seen one person that knew what i was looking for, but that is what i get for liveing in Kentucky. :lolhammer:


and yah yah i know i should just order one, but im a cheap bastard, i would like a used one. i still cant justify $400 for a folding knife. i try not to go over 250 for any of my knives.

[Deaths Head]

Thanks! I rotate carry and use pretty much all these items.

I sold off almost all of my lesser quality stuff to afford what I really wanted. Now I'm done for a loooooong while... :broke:
