We now live in a market where a single flashlight with a single switch can perform dozens of features with just a series of clicks. But a light that tries to do everything isn’t always the best when you need something that works on the first try, every time. And that’s what Prometheus set out to do with their latest pocket flashlight: the Beta Magnetic makes use of the brand’s signature quick-release system to instantly activate its beam. With nothing to press, configure, or navigate, you get a useful light with a simple pull, making it one of the most unique and efficient lights you can EDC.
The Beta Magnetic’s anodized aluminum form factor will be familiar to those who’ve used and owned Prometheus’s keychain light before. The original Beta QRv2 pairs an intuitive, high CRI twisty flashlight with a robust canted coil spring quick-release tail. These are wrapped in your choice of exotic materials and colors in a grip-friendly machined body, giving you one of the best keychain lights you can carry.
The Magnetic both simplifies the formula and improves on it: it comes in the same Beta profile (but slightly smaller), and upgrades its quick-release tail to add a magnet which is the new key to its activation. Rather than the original’s three-mode twisty interface, the Magnetic outputs a single 40-lumen mode upon disengaging the tail. That number may be smaller than you’re used to, but two new factors allow the light to be one of the most useful additions to your collection.
The first is its use of a Yuji 3030 G04 LED, one of the few—if only—emitters currently able to break the 95 CRI mark at 4000K CCT. This is as good as it gets for color rendering, giving you top tier tint when color accuracy (or simple viewing pleasure) is needed. Not only that, the lower output allows a 2-hour continuous runtime from its included rechargeable AAA battery. The second factor is the Magnetic’s use of a “mule” head: no reflector behind the LED, which means its output is a perfectly wide and even flood, pairing well with the light’s intended use case as an instant, up-close-and-personal-light.
For being “just” a keychain light with a single mode, the Prometheus Beta Magnetic offers a unique flashlight experience packed with features and built for the long haul, thanks to its time-tested design and longevity from modern and reusable fuel. It deserves a spot on every EDCer’s keychain---pick it up at the link below.

You might know Coast more for their high quality lights, but they actually started as a cutlery company on the Oregon coast, hence the name. Right now they’re releasing four new knife designs as a part of their 1919 Reserve Limited Edition line. In this article we’ll be going over four designs by Doug Hutchens, Coast’s resident knife designer, highlighting their main features and possible use scenarios. Make sure to make your way to the bottom of the article to see how you can save 20% off any of these knives.
Modern everyday carry flashlights come with an impressive set of light modes and output options, but sometimes it can feel like you have to learn how to do a special song and dance just to get to the settings you need. Depending on the light you choose, you’ll have to perform multiple button presses on a rear tailswitch or a side switch in order to manipulate the light, and that process can be time-consuming and confusing to say the least. That’s where lights with a rotary selector switch come in handy, like the one you can find on the brand new Fenix PD36 TAC. With its rotary selector switch, you can be sure at a glance just what mode the light is set to, and that’s just what you need especially in an emergency situation.
The Fenix PD36 TAC features an intuitive and tactile rotary switch that lets you switch between a simplified Tactical mode that allows for momentary High with a half-press, continuous High on click, and a Strobe mode when the tailswitch is held for 0.8 seconds. In Tactical mode the light operates at a fixed 2000 lumens.
Rotating the selector switch to Duty mode unlocks the light’s full suite of modes, from an Eco of 30 lumens for extended runtime and a Turbo that unlocks the full power of the Luminus SST70 LED module in the flashlight to its max of 3,000 lumens out the front. To prevent the light from going off and burning a literal hole in your pockets when you least expect it, the selector switch can also be turned to a lockout function that prevents use until you need it.
Brightness isn’t the only strong suit of the PD36 TAC, as it can throw out that beam to an impressive 898 feet, all powered by an included Fenix 21700 battery that features a USB-C charging port built right into the cell. The battery is also compatible with Fenix’s charging cradle, which is especially useful if you regularly swap batteries into other units on a regular basis. And with its reverse polarity protection it’s safe against inadvertent accidents caused by plugging the battery into the light the wrong way.
With its 1-meter impact resistance and IP68 waterproof rating, the Fenix PD36 TAC is ready to be your EDC light of choice. Its unique and intuitive design make it great for use in high-stress situations, while still offering the option for reliable everyday use. Check out the Fenix PD36 TAC at the link below.
The Benchmade 535BK-2 is an improved Bugout that’s both stronger and lighter at the same time. It brings that low-profile tactical flair with its blacked out styling while keeping its original outdoors-focused, ultralight design and feature set, making it a compelling option for a wide range of EDCs. The most recognizable change to the 535BK-2 is its fully blacked-out design, from the blade itself to the handle and hardware. It’s a welcome addition to the Bugout lineup alongside the outdoorsy, hi-vis blue on the original as well as the more urban-friendly olive drab variant.
Aesthetics aside the new CF-Elite handle on the 535BK-2 offers improvements to both strength and weight, ideal for an ultralight knife. Compared to the original Bugout’s Grivory scales that could flex under high pressure, this model’s carbon fiber-reinforced polymer handle boasts 50% higher rigidity while actually weighing less at 1.8oz compared to the original’s 1.85oz weight. The new Bugout still largely keeps the same great premium features of the original: a 3.24" long, premium CPM-S30V drop point blade (with a black DLC finish this time around), Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS-lock, dual thumb-studs for quick manual deployment, textured handles for grip, a reversible pocket clip for multiple carry options, and a lanyard attachment point for retrieval and retention. Pick it up while you can at the link below.

It can be hard to find the right gift for the dad who has everything, and that’s doubly true if he already has a reliable everyday carry gear collection of his own. That’s where the sheer amount of customization options available with every Deejo knife shines. Being able to gift your father something special, something uniquely his own this Father’s Day is more important than ever. From cosmetic changes to the composition of the handle to full-on art designs engraved onto the blade itself, every aspect of the knife can be tuned to Dad’s preference, giving him a gift to remember for years to come.
A minimal and lightweight aesthetic is at the heart of every Deejo design, but its 3.7" 420 stainless steel blade is more than capable of tackling most everyday tasks, thanks to its slim profile and versatile blade shape with its long edge. The ultra lightweight, skeletonized frame doubles as a secure liner lock during the cut, setting it apart from most non-locking slipjoint gent’s knives.
But what sets the Deejo knife apart is the ability to use the customization tool on the My Deejo site to customize nearly every aspect of the knife from its looks, its materials, and even its weight to exactly what you and Dad prefer. For example, you can pick between a shiny mirror finish on the blade and hardware or a more low-profile and discreet grey or black look to suit a more modern style.
The handle material can also be swapped out between natural wood to high speed carbon fiber, and there’s even the option to forgo a handle embellishment entirely to pare things down to the elegant essentials. And then there is the ability to pick a decorative “tattoo” design that’s etched on the blade itself. There’s a wide variety of artwork, designs, and themes that can be added to every Deejo knife, giving you endless options to personalize the gift for every kind of dad.
If you’re looking to give your dad a thoughtful, memorable, and unique gift of an everyday carry knife this Father’s Day, look no further than a custom Deejo knife. Because every custom Deejo knife is shipped within two business days of your order, you have plenty of time to pick one up before Father's Day. You can browse Deejo knives and customize one for Dad at the link below.

Father’s Day is only a few weeks away, and if you’re looking for good gift for your dad this season, a quality everyday carry knife like the GiantMouse ACE Sonoma is worth the consideration. Recently refreshed in a V2 outdoors variant, the Sonoma features a slim, minimal, yet highly functional design with a smooth flipper action and premium materials that make it one of the best knives that Dad can EDC today. All four versions of the knife are available today directly from GiantMouse, ready to ship out in time for your dad’s big day.
Sonoma Titanium and PVDThe Sonoma takes its name from a scenic part of the California wilderness just north of the Bay Area, with rolling hills and valleys. And with its elegant looks and premium materials as well as construction it’s a beautiful knife that’s well suited to the name. It starts with the Bohler M390 MICROCLEAN stainless steel blade on the business end of the knife, which features a flat ground drop point shape with a slender 3.4" length with a well-defined tip and belly that make the knife a great piercer and slicer. The premium M390 steel construction holds an excellent edge even during rough use and its satin treatment complements the looks of the stonewashed titanium handle well.
But looks aren’t all that the titanium handle adds to the mix as it comes with a frame lock that ensures the blade stays in shape during the cut, ball bearings in the pivot that make the flipper opening an easy one-handed affair, and a deep carry pocket clip that lets the knife slip out of sight when it’s not in use. And if you’re looking for a more discreet version of the Sonoma knife to gift, the PVD colorway features a darker look with a PVD stonewashed handle and a stonewash finish on the M390 blade.
Sonoma V2 Green and Natural Canvas MicartaThe second and latest iteration of the Sonoma knife features a more rugged design that’s well-suited for outdoor EDC use. The Sonoma V2 adds a sturdy canvas Micarta handle scale into the mix while still providing a solid lock-up with the built-in titanium liner lock mechanism. Another thing that’s changed up from the original knife is the substitution of super-premium Elmax steel for the blade itself, which offers an increased amount of chromium that allows for excellent edge retention as well as corrosion resistance, making it a good choice for extended use. The canvas micarta scales hold up well against water damage while offering excellent grip, even in wet conditions. It also allows for more variety in colors, ranging from a natural brown tan look as well as earthy green.

The Hunstman is one of Victorinox’s most popular Swiss Army Knives and for a good reason: a rich feature makes it practical for both outdoor adventures and for EDC. You have access to a 3.6" long Sandvik stainless steel knife, perfect for everyday cutting tasks. It also comes with a wood saw, which allows you to cut through branches, ropes, and small pieces of wood when you go hiking or camping. The addition of a pair of scissors allows you to do more delicate and precise cuts if needed. But the practicality doesn’t stop there—you get 12 other functions to help you out. It features two different screwdrivers, a can opener, a bottle opener, a smaller blade, Victorinox’s signature toothpick and tweezers and even a corkscrew to open up a nice bottle of wine during a picnic, just to name a few. You can pick up this versatile and compact companion in the link below.
