Easy Access Dynamic Dial
The push-button switch and USB charging port are opposite the emitter end, covered by rubber caps. It was not hard to orient the light in the hand at all. However, I sometimes had trouble distinguishing between the switch and the USB port by feel. I was clicking it with my thumb, and accessing the Dynamic Dial with my fingertips. If it were me, I would extend the switch a little.
The Dynamic Dial is amazingly easy to access. It has a lock function that prevents accidental firing. I carried the light set to high and medium in my pocket for a couple of weeks. I never had to lock it, and didn’t have problem with it shifting to another setting, or locking me out. This may have a lot to do with the great ergonomics and an outstanding pocket clip.
The pocket clip allows for a deep carry position. The light is 5.3″ long x 1.25″ x 1″, and weights 3.4 oz. Because it is flat, it doesn’t take a lot of real estate in the pocket. Users can simply flip it out, and it is naturally oriented in the hand.
I am big on light fighting techniques, and the Edge 2K works with Harries, FBI, etc, etc. I teach something similar to the Marine Embassy technique (fingertips of the shooting hand to bezel) and the Edge 2K definitely works for my system. I found that the Edge 2K loans itself to several different hand positions, depending on whether the user places the switch closer to, or further from the thumb.
Who will use the Edge 2K? There are users who split their EDC light tasks into utility, like gathering fuel and repairing tools, and emergency response, like guiding bullets in low light. This torch can do both, with plenty of spare power.
