Data,
Do you have any plans to do some of your 007's in aluminum HAIII?

This is from the "Introducing the Spy007" thread, second post. It was in December, so I have no idea if things have changed. I think only Dave can answer that one.
Goatee - keep saving and go for the ti, it's worth it.

I thought for 30 seconds about looking for it and then I figured that I would take the abuse in hopes that the anwers would come after it:nana:

What can I say ?
I've read each of those threads about a hundred times. Besides, I wanna help Goat spend his money, I'm sure his wife would be cool with it.

Chris,
Thank you for the info! I may not be able to help myself if he makes more titanium ones but it will cause trouble with my wife
I am interested in an aluminum HA version because of the weight savings and um... the cost savings.

Paul,
Your endorsement keeps on playing in the back of my mind, and more and more, I have began to like the styling of the 005... still, I prefer the 007's styling the most.

A bare aluminum 007 would look awesome beat up and scratched to hell and back. Wouldnt suit may tastes around here though.
I love my 007. But it is quite heavy, and to tell the truth, the Ti is not much but bling. Now that said, I love love love the Ti bling. If a diamond is a girl's best friend, Titanium is probably the closest thing to man's best friend (not counting canines).
Only reason I'd want to have an aluminum SPY is for performance reasons.
Lighter weight and better heat dissipation. I'd love to have an aluminum SPY 009 with a more powerful emitter, say, a Seoul P7, or whatever is better down the line in the future.
The industrial designer in me already sees the styling possibilities...

In this case, "truth" is in the eye of the beholder! :nana: The advantages that a Ti light has are many - discussion of which would probably take this thread would too far :duck: OT, not to mention revisit an often-discussed topic here on CPF. :shrug:
All that said, there are advantages and disadvantages to Al and Ti lights; and the "truth", if there is one, comes down to the user whose hand that light is in!

Another vote here for a aluminum run, I own a 005 and love it. I am in the minority in that Ti holds no fascination for me. Don't let that killer design reside in Ti only, how about Damascus????

Goatee, I don't know if there will ever be an aluminum 007, at this point I have no plans to to do it. I think titanium fits the image of the 007 best.
The next aluminum SPY is coalescing in my head but it is not yet, in any way, in my schedule. I am focused on making 007's right now and not much else. However, having said that, I appreciate all your input and I do hear you about wanting another aluminum SPY.
Cheers
Dave

I got quoted $450 for a piece of stainless spirograph Damascus (enough metal to make one single SPY). I said yes but the guy never got back to me. :shrug:

Things seem to work out pretty good in that mind of yours! The 007 is a beauty. I will keep my eyes open for your next run and what is coming next.
:thumbsup:
Goat,
It is clear you appreciate fine lights and are more than willing to trade your gal for one [insert link here]! Check the back of the couch/sofa and I'm sure you find enough to cover the 007 plus change
. (Goat sold me my first TiPD-S and is one of the main reasons I've laughed so hard and stayed here!)
I love you man but don't distract the Dave from 'da bizness

And I'm focused on trying to catch the next wave. Though if someone finds their Spy 7 weighing too heavily in their pocket, I'd be willing to help them lighten their load.
