Nitecore launches UTL19 flashlight with a retractable cutter blade
Nitecore has released the UTL19, a flat flashlight that also works as a utility tool.
It combines a floodlight, spotlight, UV light and green laser, and can glow in the dark.
A retractable, replaceable cutter blade is built into its side, but users must install the blade themselves because it is not fitted before shipping.
The built-in battery supports different brightness settings, with runtimes ranging from 75 minutes at 1,800 lumens to 270 hours at one lumen.
The flashlight recharges through USB Type-C and can be carried with a pocket clip or an optional lanyard.
Nitecore lists the price at €129.95, and says the UTL19 should be available in the US and Europe very soon.
