Who can build a Damascus Light

That’s a beauty, but for my EDC I would like it to be made from my steel.

Try contacting members “Mr.Bulk” or “Data” over at CPF to check if they are still in business another member that comes to mind is FiveMega or Elektrolumens.

Thanks, I will if no one here shows interest.

Also try from CPF photon fanatic. Heres a link to his home page.

He does some unreal work.

Google
J.Hanko
He makes some insane “Timascus” bezels and bodies you might like.
Hope your budget is “not a consideration”

I knew Data, hes the guy who built the “Databank 70” spotlight panel. ( a light that used 70 XR-E emitters with Aspheric lenses to build a massive thrower. He is well known for great machining work.
I do a lot of lathe and machine work myself, but never have tried working with Damascus steel before.

I’ll point Bucket to this thread and see if he want’s to take you up on that offer.

Otherwise, I second Photon Fanatic for outstanding work. He made the Ti light that is my Avatar. Love it! I know he makes Ti Damascus, Tungsten, just about whatever. But he “works for money”. So your budget will have to be substantial in order for Fred to do it.

Thanks for all the replies. Budget is a consideration that’s why I propose a trade with someone who has a different skill set.

DenBarrett, Please, PM me if you think it might be something you would try. The limited machining I’ve been doing is pretty easy. Not seeing any problems related to the material. I ship to Canada often to my best blade stock customer.

PM sent.

Answered, Thanks!

Just curious... What'd it cost if I wanted to get in on one of these lights? A compact 18350 or 18500 size, p60 size reflector....

I always liked dimascus steel, never owned any... If possible to get in on this, either of you feel free to pm me

I feel a groupbuy coming… :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: Well, not groupbuy like we normally think of ’em, but “a lot of people wanting to buy the same thing” may be starting here.

What about sinner? He’s done some custom hosts in various metals (Sinner Customs.. Tri-EDC's and more. (SOLD OUT)).

Yeah, hadn’t seen that. Those are some sweet hosts.

Bucket and I are talking. Thanks for all the interest.

I’ve been told it’s Ok to post a links here, so here is the steel we are talking about

and if you want to browse my site Google my name and damascus

Nice looking Damascus Matt!

Very nice looking.

Wow, sweet, Bucket+Matt, please us posted how a flashlight in that will look :-)

I was going to post up about working with rare or hard to find Mats and how this effects the price but if you are producing Damascus yourself I am preaching to like minded people. All that I can add is getting it to look purdy is going to be a bear of a job. I look forward to seeing what the finished product looks like.

I really like the look of Damascus steel knives (I am up to 4 now) I can only imagine how this is going to turn out. :slight_smile:
