McGizmo Haiku Blue Anodized Titanium Flashlight

Description: McGizmo Haiku Titanium High Performance Flashlightuses one 123A battery The McGizmo Haiku is a custom-built flashlight by a man named Don McLeish. He is somewhat of a legend among flashlight enthusiasts. His timeless flashlights, like works of art, appreciate in value, especially those that go out of production. While not recommended, aftermarket modifications of the Haiku are very common, including color anodization to suit each person’s style. The Haiku is constructed of 6Al-4V, Grade 5 Titanium. Grade 5 titanium is significantly stronger than Grade 2. Grade 2 is cheaper and much more malleable in my experience. I can't stress this enough. Grade 2 does channel heat better, but Grade 5 is the superior choice for a flashlight like the Haiku where heat is mostly negligible. Don was one of the first - if not the first - to make a flashlight completely out of titanium.The fit and finish of the Haiku is absolutely flawless. Even though titanium threads are notorious for being gritty and unpleasant, the Haiku's threads are quite smooth and I've never had any trouble screwing on the head. If you look down the battery tube of the flashlight, the bore is also simply impeccable.The Haiku's head has fins for heat-disappation, but I'm not sure how effective they actually are in the base light. The 3S and HIVE converters only put out about 140 lumens and 200 lumens respectively. However, the heat fins are especially useful in my particular light because I'm running higher Lumens. Tana is a well-known member of the flashlight community and does various upgrades for flashlights. The Haiku has a ribbed body for grip. This is one of the few things that I dislike about the flashlight. I've found that the Haiku can sometimes be hard to get a good grip on; it just sort of feels slippery. I'd imagine this issue would be even worse if the flashlight was being used in a wet environment, but the grip may just be an issue specific to me. The taper at the tail end of the Haiku works well for a cigar-grip hold. I have found that I like this design aspect very much; my HDS Rotary and Okluma DC1 also use this taper.A McClicky switch is installed in the tail of the Haiku. The McClicky is hands-down one of the best clicky switches on the market and is designed by Don himself. Everyone loves the simplicity and feel of it. It's extremely reliable and robust. The clip is super solid. Doubtful that they'd be much more functional than the one already on the Haiku. The clip's retention is very strong and I can't see the flashlight falling out of my pocket when clipped. All in all, the Haiku is a feat of flashlight engineering. The aesthetics of the flashlight are no joke: it just seems to go well with any set-up and the fins are absolutely stunning. The Haiku's resemblance to a lightsaber is incredible. But the aesthetics are just half the story. Because of its solid titanium construction, the Haiku is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. If you are looking at this, you probably know more about this flashlight than I do. This is pre-owned and in Excellent condition. There is not any huge or large marks that shows this was pre-owned. I did put a battery in to make sure it worked and there were no issues. In Excellent overall condition. Here is your chance to own a beautiful McGizmo Haiku!
