Introduction
Having a one-piece molding process is one of the reasons for its elegant design and aesthetic appeal. Arkfeld has a one-piece design which makes it look seamless and sleek. It also makes it more durable and reliable than its competitors.
Arkfeld UV is the latest variant in the Arkfeld family of flashlights. It's a nice portable EDC light that is quite intriguing. Compared to the previous Arkfeld UV, the new Arkfeld UV has a slimmer charging tail due to its almost quarter-inch thickness reduction. With this update, it appears to be more "disappearing" in the pocket.
Based on feedback from O - Fans, the clip has been redesigned. Arkfeld UV flashlights now feature two-way pocket clips for easier carrying. Arkfeld UV has diagonal knurling on the sides, improving grip and comfort when holding. Furthermore, this upgrade also adds a premium appearance and feel to the Arkfeld UV, giving it a higher-quality look and feel. This upgrade enhances the Arkfeld UV's aesthetics, an excellent addition!
