Holy Grail Knife

I'm looking for a very specific item and figured I would go to some experts for help. I've been heavily involved in the scouting program for years. Two sons in the program and my oldest just received his Eagle rank.

I have kind of camping equipment fetish - just can't get enough of the stuff. But the one item I have never found is a good combination L.E.D. knife. Many knives sport a working LED flashlight but they are generally for reading maps or other low light activities. In other words, the lights are very wimpy or are just added on as novelty items.

I've tried most of the Gerber multi-tools, CRKT guppie, Buck lumina and others, Tool Logic, etc., etc. All very disappointing.........

Any of you ever come across a really good knife/LED combo? Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Well you've got a couple of choices.

Buy a really good knife and a really good led light

or

Buy a P.O.C knife/LED combo

I never really looked for both a light and a cutting edge together and do not plan to.

You have basically answered your own question with the models you've mentioned. For whatever reason, the two really don't mate well with each other (as far as quality is concerned).

A sturdy folder (Spyderco or Benchmade) in one pocket; a quality light (Inova/Surefire) in the other has worked best for me.

I have never seen a good quality knife/LED combo. Why the combo? (Believe me, I understand "because I want one") If you can't find one that suits your fancy, how about a good quality knife and a photon LED that you can attach to it? These are pretty good lights. http://safezonellc.com/lighting.html How about heading over to the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself. Thanks.

Thanks Gents!

klkak - may I be ignorant? What's a P.O.C. knife?

crashdive123 - trying to minimize... got this idea in my head and I can't shake it. If I can't find one, I'll have one made. An old boss of mine (now old friend) has made knives for years. P.S. added an into....

Abbreviation for piece of c**p. As far as a knife with a light, I've always been kind of partial to this one.:D:D

NICE!!!!!:rolleyes:

Thanks for spelling out the acronym for me. Guess I'm a real newbie!

I wouldnt want the combo either.Im rough on knives,especially ones big enough to chop with.And if you lost one you lost both.

I question the wisdom of putting a knife and light together. I'd suggest that you stick with separate items - and buy quality for both.

I guess if you are thinking of using this in the case of true emergencies, the small footprint/compact size might be useful. But you can already buy such small LED lights, I am not sure the space savings is worth it.

For me, it would also be a safety issue. If I needed to perform some camp chores at night I think is would be safer to use a good quality knife while wearing a small LED headlamp.

Find a knife that works for you then invest in a good light. Have you thought about a head lamp? I have an Inova 24-7, it is a multi use light as it has 7 modes of operation and a multitude of ways you can carry or attach it. give it a look see.

Have you ever seen this piece of gear made by Tool Logic ?

http://www.campist.com/archives/tool...lashlight.html

+1 for the head lamp. They are very useful, and are uaually lighting up what you are looking at. obviously the main advantage of them is that you can use both hands to work and still have light wear you want it.

What kind of knife is that in the picture crashdive (minus the big light of course)

It's the world famous Rambo Super Deer Slayer Delux with Laser/Holo Sight/Scope/Tac Light.

Crash I love it when you whip that knife out! :D

Shhhhh. The neighbors will start to talk.;)

Hey what does the rig you have on that knife usually mount on?

I own a Buck Lumina only because I liked the "strobe" idea on the light. I use a Petzl Tikka XP headlamp for just about everything one might use a flashlight for. Sometimes you can get things to do double-duty & sometimes you can't. I haven't seen anything yet that I'd pay good money for in that department.:cool:

I would get headlamp and a good knife forget trying to mix em'. Oh and you shouldnt mix fetish and scouting together either.....kinda creepy.:D

Something quite a bit bigger.

Yeah, that.

It makes no sense to have your "real" light source permanently attached to your knife, because it makes it virtually impossible to use your knife and your lightsource at the same time.

The only knife with an LED that I would recommend, is the Victorinox Midnight MiniChamp. But that is more of a map-reading LED light.

Yep I agree with everyone else, the headlamp or mini-lantern is a better option than the LED on knife.

You can get a decent LED to put on the brim of your hat. Seems to me a light on a knife would be not only dangerous and unwieldy, but the light almost COULDN'T be where you need it. It'd be shining over the top of the blade, and you'd need it at the edge.

I too understand that there are things ya need (toilet paper) and things ya can't live without (combination HAM radio/bug zapper/mp3 player). Boys will be boys, and so will most middle-aged men...

If you really want both together, I would suggest getting a good knife with a lanyard hole and a mini LED light and just tie them together using paracord or something. That way if you need them they're both available in the same place, and you don't have to settle for poor knife or light quality.
