There are many different ways to use an LED flashlight, but here’s one we bet you haven’t thought of: painting.
Light painting is a type of photography that combines the use of light sources with long shutter speeds, creating dazzling visual effects you’d swear were Photoshopped – but they aren’t. Although light painting has been used by photographers since 1935, this technique has seen an explosion in popularity over the last few years.
When we decided to design a new line of folding knives that would blow away the competition in terms of utility and convenience, we naturally turned to one of the most sought-after custom knife makers in the world – who also happens to live right in our backyard.
Ron Lake, a resident of Eugene, Ore., has been making knives for more than 40 years. His creations have earned him media attention, numerous awards and have even ended up in collections at the Smithsonian Institute and other museums. Recently, he applied his genius to designing our Rapid Response hunting knives, whose innovative Smooth Assist Technology makes them some of the most impressive folding knives we’ve ever seen.
Our new Rapid Response knives are making their way around the globe and getting tons of positive feedback – most recently in a feature article in Knife World magazine.
These simple yet elegant folding knives, designed by custom knife maker Ron Lake, are notable primarily for their Smooth Assist technology, a system “that’s unlike anything ever made before.” The roller-bearing design reduces friction and allows the knife to spring open smoothly and cleanly with just the nudge of a thumb.
Each month, Builder magazine highlights a handful of innovative products builders should know about. Recently, the COAST HP7 LED flashlight was one of them.
“The HP7 LED flashlight offers next-generation features that will come in handy on the jobsite,” editor Nigel F. Maynard said. Here’s a look at some of those features:
