The KnurlyMan -- RCR123 Twisty
I started work on this light some time ago, but never got around to finishing it until today. :devil:
It is the only piece of Titanium that I have ever successfully knurled--cut knurled to be exact. And I think I ruined the cutting knurls in doing the piece--that's how tough Ti can be.
This is CP Ti, i.e., commercially pure Titanium, so it is a tad softer than the more commonly used 6AL4V, but still pretty tough. The light has a GD750 driver with a Seoul P4 U2SW0H and a Khatod stippled reflector. While a very snug fit, I did get an RCR123 battery in there, too.
The twisty does have some O-rings, but is not completely sealed, as I had some issues with the threading of the two pieces, so the battery tube actually screws into the LE. Not a big deal, if you don't plan to use it in a downpour.
On to the pics:
As you can see in the last photo, the knurls are fully formed, albeit polished and smooth to the touch. Dimension: 68mm long by 19mm in diameter.
Price: $700.00; shipped postpaid world-wide via First Class Mail. Insurance and/or tracking charges would be extra.
