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.
justanotherguy:
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…

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
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

Is it possible to get the flashing kit for $8.5 with a light? When I tried it was $14.5.

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?

Is there a trustworthy review for that 18500 battery?

Thank you, I wasn’t aware of that review. Admittedly, today is the first time I’ve entertained 18500, so knowledge was very limited.
Thanks again!

Hello Hank,
Can you get Osram KY CSLNM1.FY (yellow) emitter for Noctigon K1? As there is already green and red variant, I think, yellow is at least that useful, if not more (I would love one in my hands, to be honest).
