Hi, MacG!<br><br>Since you have the Solitaire... use it, eh? I believe there are a number of folks here who carry one on their person. I have used MagLite products for a long time and find them useful and pretty rugged - and I've been glad more than once that they pack a spare bulb inside the case, as I've dropped them from time to time with the predictable consequence to the bulb. My personal daily carry is a turquoise Photon II in my right pocket and a red Photon II in my left pocket, plus a large Maglite in each vehicle (personal and work).<br><br>What sort of environment are you equipping yourself for? That would probably help the knowledgable folks here suggest some knives for your consideration.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tom
