SOLD: Chad Nichols SS Damascus Light #3 For Sale

[PhotonFanatic]

Sorry, but this light has been sold.

Well, Chad didn't make the light, just the SS Damascus--a mix of 316 and 304 stainless steels. After machining, the light was sent out for heat treating and later etched.

Here are the specs on the light:

• Chad Nichols stainless steel Damascus
• Heat treated and etched
• Single stage output, twist operation
• O-ring sealed for waterproofness
• Seoul P4 LED, bin U2SVNH; estimated at 150 lumens OTF
• GD750 driver by Wayne Yamaguchi--750mA drive current
• Powered by an AW18650 rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery
• 2mm thick mineral glass lens
• Khatod stippled 20mm reflector
• Length: 4"/102mm Diameter: 1"/25mm Weight with battery: 5.2 ounces

Price: $999.99, includes world-wide shipping via EMS

For those who like this sort of thing, I did have a WIP thread on CPF about the building of this light--starting at post #27.

Please note that this light will be for sale on other forums as well--first PP gets the light, any others will be fully refunded immediately.

Congrats to both seller and buyer. It's a beautiful light.

Question, Fred:

Naithawk says they get the stainless damascus for their lights from a US knifemaker, and it really does look similar.

Any knowledge of this?

Nice score, Jeff! What a beautiful and unique piece!
