I have been a flashlight fan for a while though it was always at a distance, I have owned the coast hp7 for years but have found myself carrying a cheap 90 degree headlamp (minus the broken strap assembly) for years until it finally broke and I ended up wanting something a little better, that is when I found the /r/flashlight subreddit and you guys through a review of BLF a6 (while looking for info on the Emisar D4). I did eventually get a Manker E03H (Nichia 219 option of course ) for my edc, but I do eventually plan on getting something a little more impressive.
Doesn't cost anything to put your name on the FW3A interest list and hope for the best! It doesn't have quite as much throw as I would like, but the size, shape, beam quality, and Anduri UI are appealing.
All the knives, especially the ones I can’t afford, currently my edc is a kershaw Emerson cqc-8k but I’m looking for something less bulky, more of a “gentleman’s knife”.
