CPD SIGAnything from "Mimi's Jewelry". That guy has a pretty good thing going for him! Haven't heard a bad review about the place or the Man running it. I also hear he likes guns...
Duluth Trading Company gets a lot of good reviews.
Radioman brought up Leatherman. I'd have to extend that to any of the QUALITY makers of multi-tools. Knives too... Not just Leatherman, but Benchmade, Gerber, SOG...
I'll +1 on County Comm as well. I've spent a lot of money with them over the years, and never had a complaint.

Yeah, after having TSA people dig through my stuff a few times I learned to pull the Keysmart out and open all the keys and set it on top in a bin so it was obvious it wasn't a tiny little knife.
It just shows you how stupid the whole thing is, because I've carried a pair of Klein electrician's scissors that you could probably hammer through a steel plate in my carryon for years, and they're A-OK.

Output on high is 250 lumens low is 50. I carry mine as a backup light when I'm on duty. They also make a larger version that's 250 on high 90 on low.

Nice, thanks for posting this. I just picked up a bunch of these to pass out to my co-workers. Last year I gave them all a k-bar spork and knife set which they loved. These ought to go over even better. My gifts are always accompanied with an assorted dozen freshly backed Christmas cookies... so maybe that is what they REALLY liked.
