ReyLight Ti Lan Proto Review

That looks quite nice. Not sure I like the pineapple knurling but the slim body goes well.

I'm going against the flow, but I think the body style is very sharp looking as is, and vote #2.

Feel free to ignore my vote though, since I can't commit to buying one at this time. I just keeping looking back at the damascus album and drooling, and I'm really curious how makume would look on a combination of curved and flat surfaces that this shape provides:

I agree that it is a little busy oo: in this configuration (with fewer concentric rings -- 2 perhaps -- and without the vertical 'notch' it would be just right IMO), but it feels excellent in use -- the grip factor is true. My main take away from this experiment (although I might leave it this way, at least for a while) is that the considerably narrow waist helps a lot regarding ergonomics - grip. This is especially evident when I do an comparison between the standard LAN configuration, and this hybrid one.

 

[gunga]

Yep. I agree completely!

Bead blast with Ice blue trits. Thanks Gunga and Rey for mod info [emoji106]

One problem I had is there was some damage to the lens of my other LAN in the bead blasting process. Works fine but causes beam artifact. Anyone have lens dimensions so I can dig up a replacement?

In case this helps anybody else: when we have parts at work bead blasted that have sensitive surfaces, I think the workers use a couple layers of gaffers tape to protect those surfaces.

Looks cool though - a mix of a rough industrial sort of look, and that high tech blue glow.

 

[Tejasandre]

Gaffers tape?

Edit:
Nevermind- Google is a powerful tool.

That blasted LAN looks great.

Thanks gang! Had it done for me and other one came out perfect. Thank you again Gunga for the help [emoji106]

 

[Luckyonion]

Err ok. Got a replacement lens. Anyone know a tool to get to the lens on the LAN? My few torch tool aren't gonna work

 

[gunga]

Fine tip needle nose pliers or snap ring pliers. Maybe a strong pair of tweezers.

Thanks Gunga, I'll give it a shot. Have pliers from darksucks but not working. Looks like an excuse to go tool shopping
