Re: WTT: AlTin PD-S for Nude PD-S
hi fyrstormer. i'm not sure exactly how hard the finish is. maybe something like the HA3 which is pretty tough so it'll hold up better than just bare Ti. just a note said from the previous owner, "The AlTiN coating is strong and durable but wears at the sharp edges over time with normal handling". that being said there are some bare Ti showing on the shard edges on a couple spots, BUT you'll only notice them if you look very closely. my finger prints on it are more noticeable. i have a fenix Lo-Ti thats been riding with my keys and all these years there is only 1 tiny nick and minor hairline scratches all around which can easily be buffed out so i'm sure the AlTin will be just fine. just like souptree said, "I don't abuse it, but I don't baby it either". these lights are too expensive for me to keep as a shelf queen. which is why i want the best of the best so i know they are reliable and will last for years with use. i'm only looking for a shelf queen so i know i'm the first to put a mark on it from being used, lol. that and i have a PEU bezel with trits from my current EDC (which will be up on the BST later when this trade goes through) that will match the bare Ti.
FlashInThePan, is she a shelf queen, hm hm? it's not considered cheating if it's the same wife right? it's just with a different robe on
