US local machining, which is much more costly than China. Small batches, where you’re not making thousands and thousands to spread out costs. Higher material costs (Grade 5 titanium, 7075 alu) compared to cheaper grades.
I too love my EDC, & I definitely spent more than I absolutely needed to on my knife, prybar, multi-tool & fountain pen because I wanted them American made, & I'd love to have a top-tier flashlight to add to it but it's been hard for me too to motivate myself to drop that kind of $ on a flashlight just yet
Great review! I learned some things and enjoyed your production. Can't ask for more than that.
Please explain why these lights are so expensive. I really don't get it.

Lovely work, just too $$$ for me. But then, they are always sold out so they know what they are doing!

@@americanjesus8085 At some point these are more like art pieces than tools, which is fine!
