Product Introduction - Glowy Stuff
Silent Thunder Ordnance
Somewhat unusually for one of our product introductions, this isn’t a new single product, but several in addition to the revamping of existing product lines.
At the core of this is a major update to our glow technologies to offer brighter longer lasting glows from products with better F&F and do it all in exciting new colors. Everything is just better. (more information on the colors and technologies can be found HERE)As can be clearly seen, we’ve also broken out of the various shades of off-white under daylight which typify most glow-products. Pictures really can’t convey just how bright and vibrant these colors are, the improvement is huge.
Pictured above is a Spyderco Autonomy 2. We’ve long offered a button insert for the Spyderco Autonomy line, but now it is even better. The slot for a tritium vial, and manipulation holes for easy installation remain. New though are glowing lanyard-hole-inserts and a glowing (optional non-glow) safety switch block to prevent accidental safety switch engagement. We offer these for a handful of different knives including the Spyderco Autonomy line, Para2, Manix (6.4mm lanyard hole variants), Spyderco Caribbean, and Busse/Bussekin rivet holes (Swamprat Knives and Scrapyard Knives), with more designs to come. While the brightness of the insert’s glow makes it hard to see, each is a tri-oval of a solvent resistant rubber. Installation couldn’t possibly be any easier, gently press it into place and friction will hold it securely. Want to swap? Just press it back out again.
Pictured above are an assortment of our flashlight tail-rings. These are a simple affair, a friction fit ring which sits around the rubber tail boot of your flashlight, making it easy to find in the dark. Most of our colors will coolly glow all night long on your nightstand. Custom tail-rings for unusual applications can be special-ordered. (such as the switch guard for the modified Amutorch AL1 titanium 70kcd 530m ANSI throw pictured below)
We’ve got glow inserts for scalpeldashi sheaths. If you’re like us, and carry more than one dashi to keep different blades quick to hand, this is a great way to tell which is which at a glance, day or night. (side note, big fans of #10A and #16 blades) It also adds that little bit of specialness to your EDC lineup, any time you walk from somewhere brighter to somewhere darker, you can glance down and see your pocket glowing.
And finally, we’re able to integrate our newer better glow tech into almost all of our other products. Have a specific application in mind? Something you’d like to be able to use or just find in the dark? Or maybe just something you want a bit flashier? Get in touch.
