Looking at my Ti s10 there is a very faint hue to it but really not that noticeable to the normal eye. Stick is a flashlight guru so he'd notice more than most

Get on with that review man :D
Just kidding, take all the time you need. I need to recover from 0600 anyways.

The normal s10 puts out 340 lumens I think and my s10 doesn't have a green tint at all. He did say the ti versions had too much anti reflective coating applied to the lens which gave it a nasty greenish hue

So yes, the neutral white S10 titanium does in general have a green tint. It's due to a few things, but the most prominent factor that I've found is the overdone AR coating on the lens. Manny may remember when I showed it to him, as well as the bad purple hue on the penumbra of the spill. The lens caused a lot of issues.

The tint is made worse by the fact that the S10 is current controlled. Under-driven LEDs tend to shift towards a greener tint, so it's more apparent in low and medium. In high, the tint is closer to normal. But the lens is the biggest problem.


I replaced the lens with one from a standard S10 since more recent runs have a better coating. You could also just order an aftermarket lens for it. Actually, I just got two aftermarket lenses that I'm going to test. If anyone has a Ti S10 with a bad tint, let me know and we can check if a lens is the fix.

The 0801 is awesome by the way. It feels like the real new generation of ZT, and I love where they're going.
 
To those who currently own the 0600, is it possible to attach a lanyard through those holes in the spacer?

These ones?

Yeah that purple was startling...really exaggerated. I can see some faint purple when I look at my s10 from an angle, but nothing close to that Ti version.

Glad you're loving that 801 sticky. Can't wait for the next batch to ship out :)

Yes. You could take one of the strands inside the 550 cord and use it to pull through the full paracord. :D

That line right there, has me really excited. To see what new knives ZT can come up with is going to be fun to watch.

Indeed. And when it does, I imagine you'll retire every other knife you've been using. :)
