My Lawyer gave me the O.K. to show y'all this

[dogwood dan]

My Patent lawyer filed my patent for me this week so I can now show y'all what I have been up to. I started working with the guys at composite craft (they make C-Tec) last year. Given their experience working with resins and casting I approached them with my latest idea. This is the next generation of glow stone I will be selling it as Fire Fly handles. This example was cast in orang but it will be available in other colors. Apart from looking cool and being highly visible in full light, low light the new method of making glow stone gives 3 + fold improvement in performance in no light.

That is sweet!

 

[cchu518]

That's awesome, is that a 3 fold improvement in lume or duration of glow?

Popcorn kernels?

 

[Jens Schuetz]

Cool stuff!!!!!!!
Is it possible to have it the same shade of green during the day like the glow at night?
The glowing green is just awesome. I like the 3 dimensional look of it. The bigger the handle the better it will show.

 

[dogwood dan]

Yes I can tent the handle any color.

Dangit Dan, I told you to only use the kryptonite in case of emergency!

 

[serpientes]

if i wanted to get this material for some handle liners do you offer it in liner sizes and where do i get it?

 

[TempusExMachina]

Where's the "like" button? Very cool.

 

[dogwood dan]

Serpientes,
If you will send a P.M. I can talk to you about what you are looking for.

[darkaether]

Is this composite stone or all polymer? How is the impact resistance?

 

[dogwood dan]

The glow material is stabilized and then cast in resin then het cured, it takes three or fore hits with a 16 oz hammer to crack it. The last prototype has ben int the field for 6 months and counting with out trouble

 

[Jastab]

Very cool! Reminds me of a lava lamp when its not hot yet.

 

[in the flesh]

Any other pics of knives with this handle material? In another color?

 

[dogwood dan]
