Olight 16th Anniversary Sale Picks: Two Knives, Two Multi-Tools, and One Smart Lantern

Introduction

Olight is marking its 16th anniversary with a sale, and a handful of new releases came along with it. The lineup spans two very different pocket knives, two multi-tools at opposite ends of the price scale, and a redesigned version of the company’s popular spherical lantern. Here is what each one actually offers, so you can decide which pieces fit your carry.

Oknife Rubato: Olight’s First Rail Lock Knife

The Rubato is Oknife’s first knife with the Rail Lock, which is essentially Oknife’s take on a crossbar lock. It pairs with a 154CM tanto blade in a black finish, and the action is described as phenomenal, with the crossbar lock open and close working exactly as you would hope.

The handle uses skeletonized OD green G10 scales over blue liners, with matching blue accents that look sharp against the green. It carries on a shorty deep-carry pocket clip that is inset into the handle, right-side, tip-up only. There is also a back spacer with a lanyard attachment point, and the knife ships with a copper-look coin, likely plated rather than solid copper.

The one recurring complaint applies here too: the large Oknife logo printed on the blade side. If that does not bother you, the Rubato is an easy knife to like.

Oknife Spur Dog: Assisted Flipper with Attitude

The Spur Dog is a rear-flipper, spring-assisted knife with a 2.99-inch D2 drop point blade finished in titanium nitride matte coating. The scales are OD green 6061-T6 aluminum with a grip texture that reads a bit like a hand grenade, and it uses the same shorty inset deep-carry pocket clip with a lanyard attachment point.

Because it is spring assisted, there is a liner lock plus a slide lockout on the side, so the blade cannot pop open in your pocket. Overall length is 6.94 inches, and it comes with a patch rather than a coin. During the sale it is priced at 50.99. Between the two knives, this one suits a more traditional everyday carry style better.

Oknife J1M: A Titanium Multi-Tool That Borrows a Familiar Silhouette

The J1M is a titanium multi-tool deliberately shaped to echo the Marauder 2 flashlight silhouette. Function list is straightforward: a pry bar, bottle opener, slotted screwdriver, protractor, and hex wrenches, plus a lanyard attachment point.

It is the kind of tool that explains itself. If you want a slim titanium pry tool with the bonus of hex wrenches and, unusually, a protractor, this is the one to check out.

Oknife C1: A Credit Card Multi-Tool That Doubles as a Minimal Wallet

The C1 is made from 420J2 stainless steel with a matte black titanium plated surface, and it packs 11 functions into a credit-card-sized footprint. The tool list: bottle opener, pry bar, nail driver, five hex wrench sizes, two spoke wrench sizes, a scale, a protractor, flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, and a hook knife that is genuinely sharp, so handle it with care.

It ships with two rubber rings that let it double as a minimal wallet for cards or folded cash. Given the size, most people will probably just drop it into an existing wallet. The two spoke wrenches in particular make this a genuinely useful card for cyclists, and at a sale price of 5.09 (regularly 5.99) it is a very easy impulse buy.

Olight Obulb Plus: The Headline Act

The Obulb Plus is noticeably larger than both the Obulb Pro and the Obulb MC. The biggest change is the control scheme: instead of a button on the bottom, there is an almost invisible tap zone on top with a tiny power symbol. Tap to cycle effects, press and hold on white to ramp brightness up or down, and double tap to turn it off.

Output is up to 300 lumens, backed by a built-in 2,000 mAh battery that delivers up to 49 hours of continuous lighting on the lowest setting. Charging is the familiar magnetic base, now with fast charging support from zero to 100 percent in three hours. That magnetic base also means you can stick it to any metal surface and mount it overhead or sideways; it is a hefty little bulb and the magnet holds its weight.

Durability is solid for a lantern: IPX7 rated, submersible up to three feet of water for up to half an hour, with one meter impact resistance. Note that it requires a new app, Olight Obulb Hub; the original Obulb Pro app will not work with it. Pairing is done by tapping five times, and the app offers a brightness slider, 21 color presets, a color wheel, a flame effect, a colorful cycling mode, and a music sync mode that reacts to sound. There is also a devices tab with a countdown timer, cloud timer, sleep mode with an off timer for night, a whack-a-mole game, and support for pairing multiple Obulb Plus units together.

During the sale it is 48.99, down from a regular 69.99. It is one of the standout picks of the anniversary lineup.

Which One Should You Buy?

If you want one item from this lineup, the Obulb Plus is the most distinctive: a brighter, tap-controlled lantern with app features and a strong magnet base at a meaningful sale discount. Knife fans should pick between the Rubato’s Rail Lock and premium 154CM steel versus the Spur Dog’s assisted flipper action and more classic carry profile. The J1M suits anyone wanting a titanium pry tool, while the C1 is an almost free addition that earns its place, especially for cyclists.

Olight is also running free gifts just for logging in during the sale: returning customers get a limited blue i16 keychain light celebrating the 16th anniversary (one per person), and new customers receive an OD green i3E keychain flashlight.

Conclusion

The 16th anniversary sale lineup covers a lot of ground for the money, from a 48.99 smart lantern down to a five-dollar card tool. The Obulb Plus and the Spur Dog are the strongest individual picks, but every item here has a clear use case, and the sale pricing makes the whole set easier to justify than usual.
