I figured the flashlights seen in the trailers so far, were found items.
And sure enough I googled up a match! Ultrafire 18WG-T60
About $30 online.

At least that's a reasonably cheap found prop.
Thats great, thanks Karl. Unlike SRS to have such an easily attainable prop in his canvas but it is fairly cool lookin. Got something for the cabinet now, congrats on the first found item.
It was pointed out on Propsummit that the flashlight that David has in the closeup where he's looking at the moving objects, appears to have a ribbed rim on it.
For my pics I removed a screw-off rim that the flashlight comes with
I don't know if a different piece is attached on the prop flashlights, or perhaps they are a different model or brand entirely. Caveat emptor.

hey, sorry for piggybacking on this but it was total inspiration to go looking. Look what I found
Gerberฎ Ripstop™ II Framelock with Partially Serrated Blade
And is this knife featured prominently in "Prometheus" somewhere?

Only on all of their suits. I have no idea yet if they actually 'use' them or if they simply stay on the left side of their belts the entire time. There's a decent shot on Fifield where Rafe Spall and Sean Harris are standing outside one of the vehicles in a on-set pic in the Empire magazine. I'll see if I can find a good shot of it online, but yeah.. they all wear them.
And there it is.
It looks different here tho... or is that the back.
Noomi's looks like it has the hub knocked out of it..

Noomi's may be different, it's on a different suit as well and hers is always worn backwards and is mounted on a knob of sorts. Don't know if it's the same as the other ones, but this seems to match.
also, the lower pic of Fif, it is backwards and appears to be upside down haha
Phase, nice find btw, that's the pic and it's a great shot

He must have put it back in a hurry, after a scene of furious knife-wielding action!

Or perhaps he was doing the "knife thing" as a reference to Bishop in ALIENS.
Anyway if everybody's wearing a knife on their spacesuit in a Ridley Scott film, I'd guess that at some point somebody is going to use one.
Meanwhile, getting back to flashlights for a minute, I figured out the mystery of that different-looking rim on the lamp end of the prop flashlight (as opposed to the petaled end of the Ultrafire)...
it seems if you take off that petaled end rim... the lens will fall out!
So either they ground down the rim, or replaced it with a different part... something to keep the lens from falling out.
(or I got the wrong flashlight...
I think David, at least, is carrying another flashlight.
See this pic.
David "2-flashlights," they used to call him.
The propmaster saved some cash on these!
They are cheap chinese rip-offs of the Sure-Fire brand

And better looking with out the 'petaled' end rim.apollo said:

Well that's the question now... IS there a Sure-Fire (or other brand) that looks like this but which has the flat ribbed end rim?
If so, that could be the actual prop.

FWIW, industry nomenclature for that configuration is: "scalloped bezel".phase pistol said:
Thanks. Now please hold the scallops.
Yep, or 'crenelated' bezel. They're awesome for sternum rubs...but they can be pretty dang sharp too.
