I absolutely love the splash anodized SFIII. I'd love to buy a PD in splash anodized blue.. does anyone know if Don's ever done this or if there are any such beasts?

Re: Some of my "special" lights...

Those are all awesome. Do the brass lights make your hand stink? Are they too heavy? Have they tarnished? I was considering a brass light, but I've had a brass handled knife that stank.

Re: Some of my "special" lights...

Well, I have very limited frequent use with these light as I don't EDC them, so no noticable stank issues here :eeew: . Are they heavy...well, yes compared to aluminum or titanium. These little guys are still easily portable though. Bigger lights would probably be a bit cumbersome. As for tarnishing, yes they develop a tarnish/patina from use, but I find that it adds character to some lights and is easily polished away if so desired.

You have some amazing flashlights. I particularly like the nickel Aleph 3 and chrome McLuxIII-PD. Also, great photos.
