Dashi Glow Insert
Dashi Glow Insert
This press-fit insert installs into a scalpeldashi sheath, providing visual flair day or night. It sits exposed at the top of the pocket where it can pick up charge from ambient light, giving it back as glow in darkness. If, like us, you carry more than one dashi in order to have multiple blade styles on hand, it is a great way to distinguish them at a glance, day or night.
These are powered using strontium aluminate,* the brightest and longest lasting glow technology. Performance varies dramatically by color, however green is the brightest and longest lasting. Charging is best done with a bright light source. We recommend UV lights (320-400nm), the common 365nm LED lights are great. Sunlight or UV is important to fully charge purple color. Learn more about colors and our glow tech.
Please note that, while these fit a keychain sheath, they were meant for the integral-clip-sheath. Minor fitment may be required for snugness, as they are press-fit (no glue) which can be sensitive. If a sheath is too tight, do not force the insert, simply clear the opening with a thin slim blade such as a dashi. If you’re purchasing one of these with a dashi/sheath, we’ll install it for you prior to shipping.
*For red we have two alternatives to SrAl. Learn more about our phosphorescent technology!
