 Far above expectations for a factory knife. |

I've owned and traded over a hundred high-quality knives over thirty years, most often custom-make and priced today at a bare minimum of $300. But it seems that factory produced knives are making great strides, with this model as an example.
My opinion, this is an excellent combination knife and tool for its purpose. Grind and steel are excellent. Liner lock is ideal for its function. LED is amazingly tiny and functional. Grip and finish details are nice. Plastic components are good material.
I have only one ironic criticism. The stainless alloy in the blade does not provide an adequate spark from the magnesium rod. A lower grade steel sparks far better. It's not a fundamental problem, just something the owner needs to know so they can carry a short piece of hacksaw blade or some other odd piece of steel to work the firestarter. |
Great for backpacking, camping and fishing

For backpacking I used to bring 2 keylights, a survival knife and a magnesium bar. Now I am switching to one keylight and this SLP2 Pro only, plus one set of backup batteries. The folding knife, magnesium bar and whistle work great. The design is pretty impressive, lightweight and you can carry safely on your pocket. It's a must inside the tent at night.
I ordered first the SL3, but then I realized that for some more bucks I could have the SLP2 with integrated LED light and save some more space/weight in the backpack. I returned the SL3 to Amazon which refunded me in full except the handling fee since the product was not defective. |
Goes with me just about everywhere now

This is a wonderful little tool. The blade has a good stout feel, and combining the straight and serrated blades in one lets you cut through just about anything. The flashlight is decently bright for its size, and the firesteel sparks quite well.
My only complaint is that it's just a touch too wide for the typical knife pocket, but I don't think it's so bad that I would subtract a star. |
Sharp!

| Extremely sharp, one of the sharpest knives I've owned, be careful with this one. Led light is moderately bright, fire starter must be struck at the correct angle and force to produce an efficient spark with the knife's back teeth. I really like the features packed in this knife. Recommended. |
Nice Emergency Knife package

This is great to throw in the back pack, the hunting vest or glove compartment. While I wouldn't use this as my primary, go-to knife, it is well built and keeps a good edge. What makes it valuable is the LED light (which is amazingly bright), emergency whistle and the firestarter stick - all in a nice, compact combo knife package.
Good price - lots of value - great for your bug out emergency kit. |
