i may be wrong . . . .
But to MY understanding, the Fenix Civictor was NEVER
made in stainless steel.
What you (and others) saw was a
fake, counterfeit, imitation,
not produced by Fenix at all.
Believe me, i wanted one, also.
Was really disappointed when i learned the "truth".
I'm sure others can furnish more information on this.
Hey Fenix --
How about a new Civictor V-2, with a Cree ?
And make a run in Stainless Steel, for us loyal fans, eh ?
