The Prometheus logo is also etched along side the GM markings on the blade. Also take special note of the blank area beneath the clip so the texture won't destroy your pockets.

A liquid filled bowl holds thousands of tiny stainless steel pins. A plate of magnets spin below the bowl at high RPM and violently agitates the pins. The raw aluminum parts are placed in the finisher and spun for 30 minutes. The pins break sharp edges and lightly peen the surface. After that, the lights are sent out for Electroless Nickel plating. The result is a smooth surface with a bright finish that preserves most of the raw machined texture.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody Styles: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurrently this finish is available in two body styles: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrometheus grooving: my trademark (radial grooves around the body) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuller grooving (small axial grooves along the length of the body. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLED Options: \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are currently offering the following LED options: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNichia 219C (4000K) ~850+ Lumens \/ 92+ CRI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNichia 219C (5000K) ~950+ Lumens \/ 92+ CRI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNichia 319A (4000K) ~950+ Lumens \/ 80+ CRI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNichia 319A (5000K) ~1100+ Lumens \/ 80+ CRI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptics: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Delta is assembled with your choice of optical beam angle.
