RESERVED AGAIN...

gorgeous pics as always , i hate to see how much .

any links or...

oh N/M i just seen the price, still very nice build . and now i am hungry for noodles

God damn that ain't no budget light.

Ceci n'est pas une budget light...

This being Budget Light Forum and all... :P

Still looks nice at least.

Awesome review and pics there turbo!

All we need is the link to those stainless steel chopsticks.

Now time to order some pho. :bigsmile:

nothing wrong with broadening the range of lights discussed here on BLF. the more the merrier.

hum........... do i get an employee discount?

just kidding.

very nice light.

That's a piece of functional art.

Beautiful.

Beautiful light! I thought I recognized it from "darksucks.com". I greatly admire Jason for his dedication and decision to bank it all on the light business. Oh, to have a CNC machine!!!

What's the website?

Cool zipper pull also. Is it tritium? Where is it from if I may ask?

Thx guys!

To learn more about Jason's creations (including the Ti clip & Ti zipper pull) please visit his site: www.darksucks.com

@taz, those are GITD o-rings, however I recall that he might be working on tritium ones. Feel free to contact him.

Ceci n'est pas une pipe non plus

I appreciate Jason's work very much and would really like to support his business, but i can't wrap my head around shelling out so much for a 3 modes chinese driver aluminium light(You can have the same tool for 20$ shipped...), hand made with pride or not.

To coin a much overused phrase
Dear Santa…

Excellent story and review .

LOL…that’s why you are on BLF, not CPF

the price is actually kind of reasonable considering that it is pretty much a hand made light.

i think the one thing that really hurts the Alpha's desirability is that it doesn't offer any functionality that i can't get from something significantly cheaper. SF L2p + intl-outdoor 3A dropin = about $45 for similar performance from an equally handsome light.

does Jason offer custom modes? that's one thing that would make his light different from cheaper alternatives.

Yeah, his site does showcase a bunch of unique custom orders and limited run batches that he's made and notes that he's definitely up for custom orders. I think his biggest advantage will be his expiramenting with different finishes, from the Electroless Nickel to Cerakote to raw copper, he's got a lot of various finishes.

After reading thru his blog though I'm mostly impressed with his modded McClicky switch. The gold plated wavy spring makes a heck of a lot of sense to me, and I don't think I've seen that elsewhere.

Thx again guys! Yes, Jason does custom work (bespoke models), feel free to hit him up with your request.
