Flytanium

Post by Studey »

Anyone use any of Flytanium's products? I got one of the Ti PM2 lanyard tubes for Christmas and installed it yesterday.

Pics were taken under different lighting, last pic is truest to actual color.

Good quality, this tube was actually still a very tight fit. Can't decide if I like the purple on the sides. I may take it out, polish the ends of the tube to take it to silver, then reinstall. I love the center of the backspacer being that bronzey-purple though.

I put one of my Cruwear PM2's into a set of Ti scales with one of their lanyard tubes, everything fit like a glove, real quality stuff from them. I did do a heat Ano on these so they are more of a bronze color than the raw Ti color as received.

Anyone have any direct comparison between these products, and those from Rips Garage? (Which is where that clip is from, I think?)
Going back to Caly.

Never seen Rips Garage before, some interesting stuff there.

These are the 2 Flytanium scales I got. Ti and Carbon Fiber.

Both fit perfectly, though the carbon scales must be finer around the pivot than the standard scales. With screw as tight as they can go, there is a little bit sideway movement in the blade. But only if you test for it, you would never notice it in normal use.

I have one of Ripps clips, very well made but I didn't like how close the tip is to the scale, made it kind of hard to get over the edge of my pocket, I'll probably give it another try eventually.

Second that! (not dissing the scales shown, mind!)
