I think it would look good tarnished.

I find bare aluminum to be surprisingly dirty to handle. Rub it in your hands and it leaves a black dust on your fingers. (where does the black come from?)

I don´t know. Maybe a rest of the production process.

15 years ago I got my first Surefire 6P, which is made of aluminium.
It is anodized, but at that time I removed a small ring from the head.
I never have polished it and as you can see in the pic it looks like new.

And an anodized Fenix (one year old)

It's my understanding that the "black" is oxidized aluminum. Or were you joking?

No no, its no joke. Find a piece of raw aluminum and your hands will be tinged with black dust. I think that's why items like aluminum mag wheels on cars are clear anodized.

And you're probably right about the oxidation bit. $:-\$

I thought you might be jokeing because I've seen your work and it is so far beyond my capabilities that I guess I assumed you knew all about metal and metal work.

I'm pretty sure about the black being oxidizing. I only know what I read, but I read a lot.

This oxidizing is very common with aluminum flashlights and I remove some every time I clean them.

LOL!!!!!

Their offspring will be Fenix LOD.

Leatherman123 · **Reply #44 on:** July 16, 2008, 04:50:16 AM

Naw, I'd say their offspring would be more of a L1D or a P2D!!

Hehe...

Good to see you back with us again,hope you had a great trip,looking forward to your new pictures.

I'm home now Chief. I'm dead tired of our trip. Yesterday we traveled for 8 hours straight by land. This morning I took the 9:30 am flight from Manila to Bacolod, then another 1.5 hours trip by land before reaching home. Have so many pictures to share. Will take some rest first, will post some pics this evening.

Nice Eddie. Heres some SF porn

edap617 · **Reply #56 on:** July 23, 2008, 02:27:57 PM

Wow! Very nice Prime.

I will start saving to get my first SF. What model will you suggest? I am not familiar with SF models. I just want to satrt with a LED model in the TK10 class with 2 CR123 batteries.

Eddie

Teofilo · **Reply #57 on:** July 23, 2008, 04:00:23 PM

Very nice indeed! Let's start saving Ed! I want those Surefires!

The P2D and EO are great EDCs

prime77 · **Reply #58 on:** July 23, 2008, 10:15:07 PM

Thanks guys. Eddie I love the E2DL. But I think we all need to start saving for one of these puppies.

edap617 · **Reply #59 on:** July 23, 2008, 10:22:53 PM

Prime,
I love to own one of those. Is it already out in the market?

Gene,
Very nice picture. Is that the 1911 Colt you mentioned to me earlier?

I will be going back there in Manila on Aug 3. We will again go to SOE so we can get another Fenix.

Eddie
