Thanks! Compared to the King it’s really no contest. My CW King puts out 2350 OTF and the NW Darth puts out 1450 OTF. That’s really a huge difference but it really a different kind of light. Where the King feels like a good hunting knife, the Darth feels like a scalpel. It feels like it’s made from a single piece of hard anodized billet.

Good analogy. I really like the color too; for some reason I never cared for the King's color, even the black is kinda ho-hum. This gunmetal grey is really attractive. A very well designed light aesthetically.

excellent review thank you!

Thanks for the review! Now that I'm doing my own review I understand how much work goes into these things. ;)

think you mean next to the g707? nice light and nice knives. which one of those do you like more. i have the g707 and been looking at the “microtech” from kaidomain for a while

Ah yes! Good catch. I knew it didn’t look right when I wrote 703 but it’s all I could think of. Correcting it now. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Oh, and as for what is nicer... the 707 is smaller and slimmer. People look at me less strangely when I pull out the 707 than they do with the Microtech. Think of the 707 as a gentleman's switchblade while the Microtech is an assassin's switchblade.

Thanks JohnnyMac. Even if I was a good boy, I don't think Santa would bring me one. Nice light, nice review.

Great review. I wish I would have grabbed this when we first heard word of it. I’m sure if I had it I would love it, but I need something to blow away my skyray 3xT6 before I can spend that type of cash.

Re Cons:

Heck fire. I consider that one heckuva positive. :bigsmile:

Great review btw. Tough act to follow especially if you’re like most of us B-actors. 8)

Could I use unprotected cell(flat top) in Darth?
I have LG 3000 unprotected cells. it worked on King.

18

If they worked in the King they may work in this as well but I’d recommend button topped cells.

19

I am using the grey unprotected Panasonic 2900 in mine. Works great!

I never see kind of review… Very well made, I just wonder if the light can work with just one or two batteries, can the batteries get loose in the body and will fall over? Thanks and Happy New Year
