Glow Embers for Versa58 V Scale
Glow Embers add glow-in-the-dark visibility to the Versa58 V Scale. These tiny Embrite® glow inserts, made by our friends at TEC Accessories, are available in Aqua, Green, Orange, or Multi-Color 3-packs.
Charge them with natural or artificial light and they emit a soft glow in darkness, making it easier to locate your knife or identify your setup in low-light environments. Lightweight and compact, Glow Embers add visibility and personalization without affecting carry comfort or tool performance.
Why Add Glow Embers?
The Versa58 V Scale includes three recesses designed for small glow inserts. Glow Embers fill those recesses with a subtle glow accent that helps you find your tool in the dark or customize your everyday carry setup.
Because they are extremely small and lightweight, Glow Embers enhance visibility without adding meaningful bulk.
