I fucking love Kershaw brand knives. These are certainly not $150 Benchmades, they typically run $25-$45 but the quality to price is very good IMHO the edge holds sharp very well imho. I would challenge anyone to get a spring assisted Kershaw and EDC for a couple of weeks and see how it holds up compared to a $150-$200 brand. Once again the cost/value is great. CRKT is another cheap but higher than you'd think in quality item. Kershaws are better but the CRKT depending on model does surprisingly well.
"Mtech" is pure shit, worst knife I ever owned. Snapped the tip on a huge bulky Mtech trying to pry some light gauge aluminum apart. I think most of us reading this know if the brand name has nothing to do with the product it's just absolute shit quality "UZI" brand pocket knives "Humvee" brand pocket knives, stay the fuck away. I guess they make good Christmas gifts for guys who never use them?
My father has always been a gun "Gun guy" "Knife guy" and his 3rd most important thing was a good flashlight. I taught me a flashlight will save your ass and one time it might have literally stopped me from getting stabbed to death when a POS came at me with a big kitchen knife. At night putting a a very bright light directly into a threats eyes of a threat is almost better than OC spray IMHO. I had a nasty situation with a rottweiler years ago OC spray was not much use. Got the stuff right in the fucker's eyes, slowed it down a bit and it just get coming at me. Good flashlight is priceless. Try trying to find a street sign in dark rural area without a flashlight, that's almost impossible. A strobe function is a necessity urban or otherwise. Roadside emergencies I point strobe towards oncoming traffic if I'm stalled on the side of the road. I've never had the chance but always wanted to strobe a legit incoming threat. You can just play around in a dark room or backyard have a friend hit you with a strobe function while you pretend to advance on them with an edge weapon, very effective even after the strobe is off you've got a good 5-10 seconds there, they are effectively blind. I'm not a Dr. this might give you a migrane or seizure if you actaully have epilipsy. I don't think testing this theory will give you any permanent eye damage.
I do a lot of technical work at night, I used to buy the heaviest duty name band thing, most lumens, most settings. You'd almost think I was wearing NODs. About a decade ago I go to a gun show and buy the shittiest 2 AAA battery no name hand lamp I can find, I just wanted to see how it would hold up in the field. All of a sudden I realize I can get my face safely close to detailed parts, my neck doesn't feel so sore. I realized the "happy medium" was a name brand with 2 brightness settings and a red function on the smaller side.

I agree.
