Surefire Stiletto: When Knife Meets Flashlight (Review)

[@hovanti]

Thank you very much for a thorough and honest review; you mentioned everything I wanted to know. I was almost ready to purchase one of these, but your "cons" have caused me to stop and think about it a bit more. Nice to see a review that isn't just someone trying to sell others on it, but to really review the product. I've had a Surefire G2 Nitrolon LED for over 5 years now, and really like it (very simple features), but the ergonomics of the Stilletto are appealing.

This is an awesome light. For me its also a true EDC light. Why ? Because is narrow in design which make is very appropriate for pockets, fanny packs, etc. Also it is rechargeable and you dont worry about saving batteries. If you use it, you just charge it a few hours and its GTG again. I love it, carry it and use it almost everyday (around the house, range, car repairs) . This light along with the Leatherman multitool should be obligatory in every EDC.

I bought the steleto, I used it in a weapon's operation scar, and I was surprised by how it performed, I still don't know if I agree with the price point though 👍😎

My gosh, if they would make this a stun gun I'd be screaming, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!"

Where is the knife?

[@sidneycavalcant]

Ela esquenta muito em algum ponto específico, quando usada por algum tempo ?

[@Sharpbevel]

There’s a strobe on the programming switch? Mine doesn’t strobe there.

[@Precogvision]

Uh...if I understand you correctly, then no, there shouldn't be haha. The strobe is activated using the back switch with three taps and then a hold.

[@hovanti]

If you press and hold the programming switch for maybe 3-5 seconds, the emergency strobe will activate. Please note that it's a slower rate than the seizure-inducing tail button strobe. :)

The main negative for me is it doesn't have a replaceable battery, so when it runs down, it takes time to recharge.

[@EvilCarmel]

That's a micro usb not usb A but I agree usb C would be much better

[@NGMonocrom]

Yeah, that's not how you draw a bezel-down carry light from a pants pocket. Sure, with that technique you have to use fine motor skills to reposition the light in your hand. Use a pinch grip with forefinger and thumb. As you pull the light out, it just naturally pivots into the rest of your palm, in the perfect position.

[@Precogvision]

NGMonocrom Haha, I see what you’re saying. That works, but it also depends on your pants, no? I’ve found with slimmer jeans the technique doesn’t work as well, or is uncomfortable. It’s also where the slimness of the Stiletto relative to a standard flashlight is preferable.

[@NGMonocrom]

@@Precogvision Honestly never had that problem. Have worn everything from loose cargo pants to tight, formal dress pants. Same technique works reliably.

[@elineyman7627]

I would buy one of these in a heartbeat if they made a case that would fit a duty belt.

[@vickichen648]

This thing looks like a skate fish... good for skinny jean pockets!
