Option A:
- looks better;
- will probably wear less than B
won’t probably provide nicer grip
Option B:
- more “common” knurling
- anodizing will wear more than A because it has more contact points
Once this is a “twisty”, I guess B will be a better option, so I vote B ! :nerd_face:
But I do like more the looks of A :innocent:
SKILHUNT:
I agree the B too
Ok. After seeing this photo I am for B. It doesn’t look like a standard knurling.

I like the looks of A better. Seems more premium to me, maybe due to a more clearly visible pattern.

I totally agree with this description and vote.
"B" is my vote but really like the distinctive looks of "A".

I’m tempted by the details in “B”, but my vote goes to “A” for the classy look

I also like “B”, for the “traditional knurling”, but… I’m now leaning towards “A” for the better aesthetics & also easier to clean grip. When debris gets caught in grooves, the traditional type is a little harder to clean.

I choose A design in red. Very pretty
I gotta go with A.
I always liked the “spline” knurling of the Zanflare F1, so right there is a huge nod to group A.
Plus, the B knurling looked to me like regular diamond-cut knurling, as in “usual”.
Of course, with both groups, nutty people like me would just haaaaaaaaave to have one of each…

B
(though if the straight groove running the length of the battery tube was removed, A might look a lot nicer)

I do as well. The Zanflare is a much finer pitch though, and looks much better IMO

Any good idea how to name the blue-gray color?
No picture visible; seems you need to be logged into TLF to see it.
Anyway, “Slate” is a nice blue-gray color.

I like the look of A more as well.
