Flashlight Enthusiast
Well Guys and Gals....Mr. "Catch and Release" is at it again but this time we have something very special up for grabs. As far as I know...Peter Atwood has the only other one of these ever completed. This is the finest piece of wearable flashlight art that I have had the pleasure of viewing. I am no stranger to mokume gane and damascus and I can personally attest to the magnificent beauty of these metals. Fred Pilon (PHOTONFANATIC) told me that there are probably less than twenty mokume gane flashlights in existance and only two of the Fanci Fli lights were ever completed by Chip. I am NOT desperate to sell this piece and I will entertain trade offers. I paid DEAR to get this one so I am going to start with an asking price of $500 delivered anywhere. Here are the specs from wvtakis2 ...
The Tifli is a small, everyday wearable light loosely based on the CPF classic, the FireFli http://vimeo.com/9356298 . It is painstakingly hand cut from solid titanium, and o-ring sealed. It uses a white 30 degree flood beam 5mm LED running off 4 #10 zinc-air hearing aid batteries and operates with a simple "tighten for on" interface. You can read all about the conception of the light starting on page 9 here, and an excellent review here.
It is 11/32" in diameter by app.1 1/2" long and has a hole large enough to fit a number of titanium chains, eliminating the need for a spit ring. Since these are not mass produced but instead all handmade by me there are a number of options so you can customize the light to truly make it yours.
