Today’s Flashlight review is on the Thorfire TG06S, a compact EDC flashlight brought into the market by Thorfire. Relatively new to the game, Thorfire has concentrated their efforts in Outdoor Lighting, Auto Accessories, Home Lighting, and (most noteably) Flashlights since 2014. In a sea of cheaply manufactured ‘mini’ flashlights by makers (some with hilarious names), Thorfire has actually been able to provide an inexpensive product with quality above the rest of its peers. That being said, let’s review the first of what may be several products from Thorfire – the TG06s…

After the tremendous success of the Olight S1, the company felt it was time to provide the same ‘small form factor’ in a package that produced a high lumen output using an 18650 battery. As such, the S2 Baton was born. The S2 Baton (S2) is a side switch LED flashlight powered by a single 18650 battery or two CR123A/RCR123A batteries. Donning the signature black stainless-steel bezel and switch ring with a blue rimmed face, the light houses a high performance Cree XM-L2 LED which is able to deliver a max output of 950 lumens. Needless to say, it is ready to put in some work!

Before I get into this review, I have to mention a few things about the Benchmade Knife Company. Benchmade has been in business for over 30 years, and has been designing and manufacturing knives and tools for essentially any task at hand. Simply put, their knives are built to perform. They have a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials at the buyers disposal, and have even gone so far as to provide custom orders for one of a kind knives via their website. They also go an extra step beyond and provide their LifeSharp Service and Warranty guarantee. Per their website, ” When you send your knife to the Benchmade LifeSharp team, the knife is completely disassembled and all worn parts are tuned or replaced. The knife is then lubricated and reassembled, a sharpener applies a factory edge to the blade and the knife is shipped back to you. All at no cost to you.”

Now if that isn’t a selling point, I don’t know what is!

The North Fork is a line of folders that make up the HUNT series of knives, and takes alot of key points from Benchmade’s flagship model, the mini Griptilian. Think similar, but different at the same time. There is alot to talk about with this knife so I’ll get right into it: Continue reading “Knife Review – Benchmade North Fork 15031-1” →

Why choose Olight?

Well, for starters, their website makes it very clear: Olight is committed to building quality portable illumination tools that are durable, reliable, and efficient.

Originally started in 2007, Olight began in Shenzhen, China. After tremendous success and growth in the international market, Olight now houses their US headquarters in Marietta, Georgia, which isn’t too far from where I currently live. They work diligently to fulfill their goal: to put an Olight in as many people’s hands as possible. Most importantly, it is apparent that they listen to their users, and are constantly updating their lines to provide new products for all kinds of use, as well as limited edition models available in short supply. So the question is asked: What do they have to offer? Continue reading “Company Spotlight – Olight” →
