Some may know of me from other forums, I'm Essexman on torch/flashlight forums, britishblades.com and multitool.org, plus some knot forums too.
I really injoy modding maglites (2D normally) and single AA lights a bit. This forum looks like a great resource for details and info on drivers/LEDs etc.
Talk soon
Oh yeah, I also do a bit of lanyard making, paracording, manknitting, fancy knot work.
That has to be the understatement of the still young century. From what I have seen your paracord consumption is better measured in miles rather than feet.
Definitely the understatement of the year. I've been watching that thread since I joined and Essexman and a few of the others make some the most beautiful paracord art.
Hi there Essexman, we're very glad to have you here. Please enjoy your stay!
I'm also registered on multitool.org, I registered to talk about... you guessed it... budget multitools! ;) I'm an incurable cheapskate anyway. So I bought my "Mammut Fine Tools" Leatherman Wave knockoff and I'm very happy with it.
Thanks for the warm welcome chaps, I feel a home already!
Re cheap multitools - have you seen the Ganzo tools, very good quality for the price.
Also if you like cheap but very good quality knives have a look at the SRM/Enlan knives on the same site. Cheap as chips but very good quality.
Now I know I'm openning a can of worms by saying the above are good quality and I may get flamed, but before you do, bear in mind that SRM make knives for many well known brands (boker, spyderco to name two) which sell for many more dollars in our shops.
No sorry. I should say, the other reason I like the Ganzo model is that it is UK EDC Legal, i.e. the blade is less than 3 inches long and non locking (slipjoint).
That restriction just annoys me so much, I wouldn't have minded if it was just restricted to less than 3" but non-locking and non-fixed really is annoying.
I have a 3inch locking swiss army knife that i bought over here but after looking on the victorinox website i can't see it any more so i guess they've stopped selling it over here now..
