pinkLooking for a nice gift for the outdoorsy woman in your life? Try a pink knife and LED light combo, if that’s something that wouldn’t result in said knife ending up handle deep in your forehead. Yes, pink is stereotypical for women, blah blah blah. If the lady in your life actually uses pocket knives, the Doug Ritter Mini-RSK Mk1 is an excellent choice, with very high quality materials, a great design, and one of the best locking systems available. Also, it is pink.

The combo includes a Photon Freedom, one of the better keychain LED lights out there. If you just want the knife, you can find the non-Doug Ritter version cheaper on ebay or some of the knife sites. I guess you could get jewelry or chocolate or whatever, but can those help you prepare tinder in the dark? I think not.

I sent Jason Klass from Gear Talk a box crammed full of stuff from my store, and the first thing he dug out was a Cord Lock Light from Black Crater Gear. Jason has a ton of great reviews and videos to his name, and he gives a in-depth review of the little LED light. He even spends some time in a closet with his camcorder with the night vision going full speed. Check it out and then peruse his many other videos if you like learning about gear.
