Jeff Hanko Tribute thread

Love that Cu one, Daniel. The LF2XT is not bad either.

Thanks Arturo, I love the copper one too although I'm already missing the LF2XT's brother.

See Daniel - I knew you would have seller's remorse. You better fill its place with something tiny in a gunner grip to make sure you don't start twitching.

You're quite right Sean. That would be a very nice goal to achieve.

I used the proceeds from a recent sale to fund a new arrival:-

Very nice Daniel.

Very nice Daniel.

Thanks Dave. You and I both have a strong attraction to shiny copper.

This wonderful LF2XT just arrived here less than an hour ago. When I saw Daniel's post on this light
I was not in the market for another JH custom but as I told Daniel, this very same light caught my eye
in an older photo posted and was a deciding factor in my decision to go ahead and order one for myself
so I knew I'd regret passing it up. The light in question is the one with blue & red vials and I think it makes
an interesting contrast to mine as the clip, flutes and finish are different. I'd like to thank Daniel for a painless
deal & the fast and careful shipping. Please excuse the sub-par photos taken with a small sensor P/S camera
and no tripod to boot!

Congratulations on a great looking pair of lights.

Those are great photos, Arturo, and beautiful lights. Thank you too for your part in a very pleasant transaction - and also for providing a great home for the gem that Sean and I both had the pleasure of enjoying for a while.

Your GG LF2XT is particularly exquisite.

That stone washed titanium light is amazing. Simply amazing. Sean's work is also quite impressive. Wonder when we can start sending lights to Sean for touch ups!

Sean, the ti LF2XT turned out great! Art, congrats on another great LF2XT!

Daniel and Jon, your collections are among the finest here. :bow:

Thanks for the nice words Hiro. Jon's is far ahead of mine, but I'm lucky enough to have secured a few treasures for myself. Your LF2XT must definitely be amongst the finest and most extensive around.

Ok this thread was a bitter sweet experience. Bitter because I know I'll never get to touch some of the more rare works, but sweet because I got to see them. Furthermore, I am very lucky to be able to snag one from Daniels collection. I hope to complete that transaction tomorrow.
Nice pics guys. I killed about two hours, off and on, hunched over my iPhone drooling over some of those lights....

These look great! I've tried to purchase these clips with the same idea in mind.

Nice, Mokume Gane ?

How did you purchase the clips and bolts? I was trying to get those but have been unable to purchase them.

 

[H-nu]

C'mon Gunga, that's Hiro we are talking about. He can get anything he wants..

 

[jonwkng]

Nice, Mokume Gane ?

Yes, Ryan. Mokume Gane from custom knife maker and Mokume Gane expert Mike Sakmar. Will post more photos once the light is ready.

It is quite interesting, that like Damascus... The final look of the material will be remarkably different after machining and etching. I'll be going for a deep etch, so the results should be interesting.

I just received this light in the mail last night and I am ecstatic about it! The quality of his work is not hype, it's real. The gunner grip needs to be felt to understand how awesome it is. I find myself running my fingers over it all the time. The stone wash finish is truly beautiful (my light was in the tumbler for SIX days!). My light is a twin to Arturo's light and the clip? It's crazy to look at it knowing that it's a machined piece and not bent into shape.

I have had experience with Jeff's work on my 007 Turbo Head, but the LF2XT takes it to a whole new level.

I'll let my crappy pictures do the talking
