those look phenomenal!

so I've seen "Damascus" thrown around on here a bunch and is Damascus just a term for the metal's finish?

Damascus is basically 2 types of steels "folded" over into each other to create the pattern.

This will be an epic thread!

Damascus is layered steel, the first 3 are layered stainless steel, 2 slightly different alloys. They are pounded and layered in a forge, folded, pounded again etc.
The mokuti is a titanium version of this, which is pure mixed with 6AL-4V, layered, somehow fused and finally anodized, but not masked, it's just how it comes out.

Franz, these are sick! Your pics should carry a health warning as viewing these could be bad to the health of your bank account :D

And I thought I put too much money in my collection! I'm going to turn around and pretend I never saw this thread before I end up in the street selling my own flashlights at wallmart prices.

:sweat:

Wow, these are beautiful instruments. Can you provide a little info about the makers and differences in build quality and performance? I'm new to this whole light genre, and am quickly finding how much information there is to learn. Thanks.
