thanks for the link

I'd already familiar with the laws but to my understanding
a regular folding knife without one hand assisting is legal

Oh... so those holding knives are allowed? what do you mean by without one hand assisting?

I want to have an edc item that is not illegal but able to be a self defense item.

Looking at nitecore flashlights hmmm... they market themselves as tactical flashlights

an auto knife that can be drawn with a push of a button is illegal

those with thumbstuds I'm not sure

maybe some like kershaw's blade flipper considered as gravity knife i dunno

i think you shouldn't view your edc knife as a self defense weapon

it would be perfectly capable of doing so but that's what'll make you run into troubles with police

that's why im carrying a less intimidating looking blade as to not drawing unwanted attention

u already carry self defense weapons, ie house keys.
or want something premade and legal - tactical pen.

nitecore obviously not the whole range are tactical.
cheapest tactical light locally i think is still fenix.

But I am thinking about the cost as well.

Furthermore, if I plan to use these flashlights for self defense... requires me to know some martial arts basics to use LOL.

hmmm... hmm.gif

thought u familiar with the rules?
legal wise i say grey area.
while u think its legal to carry a blade under 3"...they cannot charge u unless they dig for other probable cause and which they may...but they will confisticate it.
so that already says enough they dont want u to carry.
imagine roadblock at night, they find a knife...what cock n bull story can u come up with on the spot? tongue.gif

and probable cause of cos like asking u to follow them to station while they do background check... their right to detain u for 24hrs if they got any etc.
*
yes mang. I agree...

Our police force is very efficient in giving us, good citizens problems rather than resolving actual crimes....

At one point, you can say its for self defense and all that but in another point they say you ada motif to rompak orang.

Whatsmore is if you tend to argue back in a harsh manner, they will give you more problems by detaining you kat lokap.

I dont want to say that price is not a factor but I want to buy something that will last me quite some time.

Prefer it to be rechargable, compact & portable, able to blind attackers.'

Any brands or models you have in mind?

I got overwhelmed by the various models and brands in the market.

Do you carry one?

for self defense u r looking at 1000lumens or so. its damn offensive lol. yet not illegal.
a folding knife is not a good self defense tool. yes very illegal lol

tactical... idk.. can a weatherproof submersible 25lumens flaslight be tactical? its good enough for an EDC
depends where u r going

u can even use blinker in tactical situation too i suppose

i guess tactical pen also suit the legal and defensive item.
but only useful for close combat/close contact.
that hi lumens flashlight dont have to.

which one would be the most value for money model and brand for 1k lumens?

Lumens rating are really not that important if you want to blind your attacker. All you need is pure beam intensity, rated in candela.
I want to suggest surefire p3x fury (22k candela, 1k lumens flex.gif) for you, but due to its size maybe it is not too comfy for edc purposes. Unless if youre a batman you may clip it to your utility belt.

You want value for money? I suggest to you olight m1x striker. Not as blinded as p3x fury, but still in your preferred 1k lumens range. Compact enough for edc, and its intimidating strike bezel is enough to scared your attacker away. Price is around rm2++.

Olight m1x striker. Thanks Bro. Will read some review before purchasing.

I have the Nitecore SRT7. It runs on a single 18650 batt or two CR123 batts. 960 lumens.
It is small for its output but I think it's still too big for EDC imo...

You need flashlights in your field of work? I am a 8 to 6 office kuli. So I carry a bagpack everyday to work.

I think edc means pocket sized items.

And if I carry a flashlight in my bag and when shzt happens. Wonder how to find my flashlight in my bagpack lol
