Would you 'settle' for an unfinished BOSS?

Like the natural mill or stone washed finish on flashlights.

Any chance for EN plated Al ... ?

Or "oil slick" blackened nickel ?

I've applied a more satin finish to my Al Boss 70 now:-



I wouldn't actually consider it unfinished.

 

[recDNA]

Looks nice like that

 

[easilyled]

Looks nice like that

Thanks, yes I think I prefer it to the more polished finish before.

 

[Exeter354]

Very nice - good job.

Very nice - good job.

Thank you.

The fact that its relatively simple to renew or alter the finish on raw Aluminium could be considered to be one of its advantages.

The finish above is lighter than Patina. I'll get a family shot

I assume the light on the left is the original patina finish. Is the light on the right a tumbled finish? Is there much difference in the process?

Yes and yes. The main features of the new finish are that its brighter and reproducibly faster.
So if dudes like it we wont have the scale problems as with the original.

The original Patina is still my favorite but the tumbled looks great!

The original Patina is still my favorite...

Mine too, and I hope I can get my hands on one someday down the road. Apparently it'll have to come from the MarketPlace.

I know - nobody asked me. But I was observing this morning how beautiful my well-carried Patina 35 is now that the patina has essentially worn off. Got me to thinking that I would be perfectly thrilled with a 'plain' aluminum BOSS, and maybe that would ease production costs, difficulty and reduce the time.

So if you could get a plain aluminum BOSS of any variety, would you be interested? Thought I'd post a little poll. I tell you, Oveready/Torchlab has set the standard for years to come, and although people naturally have preferences in finishes, this light is the best out there IN ANY FINISH! Along with unparalleled customer service from Torchlabs!

If it makes it less expensive absolutely.

Several Patina were posted for sale last month, here: http://controlthedark.com

No Facebook. Had trouble with it years ago and ditched it for good.
