Polarion Night Reaper CSWL custom handle

[Parker VH]

I decided to make a handle for my Night Reaper just to make it a little more balanced and comfortable to hand hold. It's made out of Titanium. Wondering what you guys think as far as leaving it in the raw material finish or going with black? I'm checking on finishes now. I work with aluminum but I don't think Titanium can be anodized black and I'm not sure about hardcoating either. Might go with powder coating if I decide against the raw look. It's nice in that you can reach the on/off switch with your finger while holding onto the handle. There's a few machining flaws but I'm happy with it.
Hope you like it.

Exellent machining! And you made only one??!! What a terrible mistake! I'm in for one if you consider making more.

Very nice! Have you considered something like Rhinoliner or Line-X on the hand part? The rough rubber would make it more grippy, otherwise I think I would just leave it alone, looks damn good.

I think it would look good in ALTiN finish.

I'm not familiar with that. Do you have any info. on it?

There are different flavours of it. I have two different lights where it is used. On the black metallic bezel on my HDS rotary, and on my Modamag Draco which is medium gray silver. I think the one used on the HDS is nicest and will suite best with the NR.

Thanks. I will see if that's something I can have done locally if I decide to go that route.
