I would luv it if they still made one, otherwise I would.

 

[mcbrat]

That's quite the collection Magellan. I'm surprised that you don't have an ultra lux in Mokume.......yet.

I would luv it f they made one, otherwise I would.

I thought they were gone, but the second site still shows it, so looks like the Ultra-lux will be next!

I think when you try and put the light in your cart, it throws an error because it's out of stock....

 

[magellan]

Okay, thanks, it's probably out then.

Chris seems to think that Bob has one

 

[magellan]

Ok, I'll ask Bob, thanks.

I have a question since I don't have any Damascus lights yet, are they coated? What prevents them from rusting?

 

[mcbrat]

A light coat of mineral oil, then wipe off for the carbon steel ones. Even stainless will rust if neglected long enough. But since you have oil in your skin, it seems to keep rust at bay too, as long as you use your lights...

Devin (Sigma) uses a home brew beeswax and oil mixture.

Yes. Most of what is called "stainless" these days is technically what used to be called "rust resistant." Most stainless produced is about 13% chromium, but it needs more like 18% to be really stainless, but then there's a trade off in that the steel becomes more brittle. You can also add nickel to make true stainless, but that increases the cost.

have been slowly trading/selling/aquiring to shift my "Customs" collection to Damascus 18350. Still have 2 Copper (Mac, Sigma) and 2 Aluminum (Both Mac), and these
still need to bore the DamCham 1mm larger.

have a few more in the works, and still hunting for a couple others.

@mcbrat - I really like the damascus pattern on the tnc dragon!

 

[Weld Inspector]

Wow mcbrat the dama is looking good

The photon is amazing

thanks. I fixed the alignment of the switch and trit in the DamCham. They originally came with a spring wire holding the driver it, and it was missing. I made one out of a spring wire key ring piece, and the added ring helps the body not screw down too far...

and thanks to magellan for letting me buy it back from him...

It's a McRegulus actually, McR-20 reflector.

 

[magellan]

Really beautiful, fine grain on that one.

 

[MAD777]

Almost looks like a natural woodgrain! [emoji106]

I can finally post here!
