Anyone with suggestions as to which type of stainless steel would be good for flashlights. I like shiny, so I'm looking for something that produces a nice finish.
I just bought some 416, but I really don't like the looks of it on the lathe--kind of dull, matte surface. I don't know if it will sand and polish up to a nice shine, but compared to Ti and AL, the surface quality that I'm seeing so far is unimpressive.
