Drool…. Looks even better here than on Hank’s site… I really don’t need one but… damn.
Hank said the ano wears like regular ano.
I’m not entirely convinced, ano is a surface coating that is harder than the aluminum substrate…
On Ti I think it’s an etching where the distance between ‘etches’ affects the color reflected that we see. I bet an ano Ti knife guy would know more definitively…
I didn’t either, but here we are!
Titanium anodization wears off extremely fast compared to a properly anodized aluminum surface. Tiny, long scratches called snail trails will show up almost immediately after being handled. Maybe it will hold up a little bit better on the body where the surface isn’t 100% smooth.
The colors will also fade when in contact with skin oils, but will restore once cleaned.
Hmmm, I wonder what other people’s heavily used colorful series look like now.
This is my shelf queen, never carried D4v2 ti blue swirl, tailcap REALLY lets it down
What am I doing wrong? Why isn’t image showing?
My blue swirl tailcap has no markings ??
See my photo? Mine looks awful
Did you rub it?
No, never
Even if I did though, it laser etching, shouldn’t matter
Is it from the second batch ?
I’d say so, I sent my first one back to Hank because of rough threads and a blemish on the copper
I have an ore1 of the second batch and it’s not having markings . You ’re having an exclusive one .
Is it possible to get the flashing kit for $8.5 with a light? When I tried it was $14.5.
Here’s your picture :
I was surprised to see that 26350 tubes for Emisar D4S and D4SV2 were shown as available in all colors. I emailed Hank and he confirmed that green and cyan were really in stock.
I will finally have a 26350 tube for my green Emisar D4S that I purchased a year and a half ago, before 26350 tubes were available.
Noctigon K1, all colors back, including green version, 35HI version restocked.
D4V2 cyan version available,
When will be a new 21700 light?
I dream with a KR4 with the shape of the KR1 but using the D4S TIR lens and 21700 cell
The Cyan D4 is beautiful
I’m thinking about grabbing a cyan D4V2 with E21a and the 18500 tube, a first for me.
Is 3.8 amps from a Panasonic 18500 enough for E21a to do it’s best?
