One is powered by some LED and the other has a Xenon bulb. Completely different technologies of light source etc
Thank you that is what I wanted to know. Why do you think the xenon one is 35 and the other goes for 75?

Doug does this mean that they are saying they will not enforce the ban but are leaving it open to use as an enforcement tool if they do not like someone?

Re: Will Magnacut Drop In Price?

One of my dreams is to see Magnacut and Lc200N be equal in price to 1095 carbon and 420HC.

Will Magnacut Drop In Price?

Will we ever see the steel like Magnacut H2 and Lc200N and VG10 become as affordable as AUS series and 440 series which were once expensive and dropped in price or will these always be so expensive?

Re: Magnacut AquaSalt

If you were to make a basic estimation, how much would such a knife cost? 100-200 dollars? You’ve been gone a while 😛. There is no way another run of that knife in Japan would be on the low end of that range. I think they were $100 street price when discontinued, but everything nearly doubled in pr...

Re: Flashlights

Important question: Are these three different Mag Lites or are they the same light, and, if different what are the main differences? https://maglite.com/products/ml300l-4d-led-long-running-flashlight-box?_pos=1&_sid=f0e8f4da0&_ss=r vs https://www.knifecenter.com/item/MLS4D015L/maglite-4-d-ce...

Toughness differences in earlier vs current generation Endura/Delica?

Do you all think there would be any major differences in general toughness and durability of the earlier generations of the Endura and Delica models vs the current ones with current steel or not?

Re: Does sunscreen or sunblock help?

There is a place for sunscreen. I use it if I am going to be outside for very long. The radiation here is direct and not slanted, so it is fierce. Most people wear long sleeves, even in this heat, or they carry an umbrella, or both. If possible, many will wear extra wide brimmed hats. Well said, Do...

Re: Favorite sci-fi movies?

I like Star Trek because of the replicators and phasers and duranium/tritanium alloys and I like Star Wars because of the light sabers and vibro knives. I also have read so many science fiction books, novels, short stories, and seen so many movies. I like the knives and swords on Dune.

Re: Flashlights

I saw a large Mag Lite for sale. The handle casing is 15 inches long and it takes D-Cell batteries. Is that a good flash light to have?

"Granite Stone" Kitchen knives: Good or another gimmick?

Hello everyone, a friend of mine sent me this link to Amazon for these "Granite stone" kitchen knives. He bought a set and showed me a picture of some sliced tomatoes he used it on, and he claims I should get a set. But is this more of the same cheap-quality gimmick type knives we often se...

Ways to "Thief Proof" cars?

As others on here posted and from articles I have read there is an ongoing wave of car thefts and break-ins. This has always happened but it has increased in recent years with soft on crime policies. My question: What are methods and ways (legal, no booby trap stuff!) for people to thief-proof or ma...

Two Knives: Your comments/reviews wanted, please.

Everyone, whether you are into metallurgy or not, can you please give me your sincere comments on these two knives? One is this Marbles (Made in China) VG10 lock back with brass handle. It lists the steel as VG10. Do you think this is real VG10 and is there anyone who has tested it? That is very coo...
