Thanks for the explanation. Price and quality range. I thought it was League of Assissin. LMAO.
Just saying, Tain is selling his Damascus AAA lights for $385/pc over at CPF but he has a proven track record with his products sold at the other side and some of the lights owners are repeat customers.
For $500/pc for Damascus AA light, you better make it special and hopefully the build quality and finished are much better than your triple Ti, which is very excellent value for custom lights, but not in the same league as Sinner, McGizmo, Jeff Hanko, etc.
Almost like dating someone from the other side of the tracks and are forced to hear: “It’s too bad you can’t afford her brand of cheese.” :cowboy_hat_face:
$500 for a light! :confounded:
Even if I won the lottery I wouldn’t.
Damascus is nice and all…
$500! wow, just, WOW
most expensive light that I held in my hands was ~$180 it was for a friend, he paid ofcourse…
Well, the DAMASTEEL shown here is made from a powder. I was wondering how they got the pattern to look so uniform. So, I looked up their web page. If I were going to pay a lot for Damascus steel, I’d want it to be hand forged from real metal, so that the piece would be unique. A uniform pattern means everybody’s light could end up looking exactly alike. What’s the fun in that? Maybe someone can contact Matt Walker and get some Damascus steel from him? https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/28013
Possibly interested pending final price/specs and other details

Excuse my Italian accent but ……
“Eh….whatta DAMMA STEAL !!”
Okluma sells its copper light for x 7 price of Olight S1Cu, for x 3,5 price of Manker Timeback Cu or for x 6 price of Oligh S2 Cu; so, I don’t see it like a good reference; $ 500 is more than twice that I would be willing to pay
Nice stuff but I’ve long since learned not to pine for what I cannot afford. Or as Spock put it “having a thing is not so pleasing a thing as wanting”.
I would rather have it in AAA for a lower price
Exactly
Brass AA, design finished.
id be interested in ‘brass’ depending price.
Interested in “brass”
Dear Rey,
There are many different kinds of brass and other copper alloys.
Lumintop uses the 360 brass - Free-Cutting Brass, which machining is extremely easy.
This brass contains some 2-3% of lead to facilitate machining.
I would recommend you, if you want to be really special, to build a
ReyLight Marine, using one of the following alloys:
464 brass - Naval brass
Admiralty brass
Cunifer 10
I have sent you a brochure regarding Cunifer via regular mail. This material is extremely corrosion resistant in sea water, and is used for heat exchangers on ships and power stations, and hulls of premium ships and scientific buoys.
Of course such flashlight would need a really good gaskets.

Im in for the brass aa light if the price is good.
I hope the switch design is better than the blf titanium light.
I really like this idea! Sounds very cool. So yeah, the Damascus was price-prohibitive but I think the brass will be more affordable. I’m in, assuming the final price isn’t silly.
If the price for the brass light is below 50 bucks, I’m interested
MiG0 +1 nice idea!
