As I'm delving into the world of custom and semi-custom lights (thanks to a few custom knife friends pushing me into it), I've ordered some of the best that I can get my hands on. I'm still learning the nuances of the hobby, of which there are many, so this was a particularly nerve-wracking experience. One of the most expensive lights available (even in this, the most basic form), and a ton of user-programmable options that I felt initially that I would screw up... this was a daunting purchase.
Luckily, Dave took the time to reassure me that the choice I made in his light, and the option choices were the best for me. I preferred the clean look of the machine finish, which as luck would have it, is the least expensive option. I wanted a more neutral color temp and the max output... just for those times I wanna show it off a little bit, so I chose the Cree XP-L-Hi emitter in 5000k.
The machining is incredible, the fit/finish and just the feel of it in the hand really lets you know you have something special. Dave was great throughout the order, and I got it 7 days after sending in my request.
I am having a soft leather slip-sheath made for it, to protect it from my keys in my pocket.
Since there's no way to upload images here, I'm hoping my FB images show up. Sorry for the image quality, FB compresses the files so much.
