Lakecountyknifeandtoolwhat are the pros and cons to each type of metal used ? im wondering if I should just get the brass now or wait for the other metals. Thanks
ZaarociBrass and Copper have higher densities than Steel, Aluminum, and Titanium. However Brass and Copper patina (oxidize) over time. Aluminum is the lightest, followed by Titanium then Steel. Steel and Titanium tend to be the most wear resistant. Which one really depends on preference and expected type of use (EDC vs. at home over carpet use etc.)
ZaarociThe brass and copper are nice for their weight and will give you more of a gyroscopic effect. I have some brass spinners that I polish occassionally to keep looking sharp. I tend to only use those at home and are my aesthetic pieces. This spinner I anticipate using as an EDC, and it's inevitable that I'd drop it. I also would like some weight to it so I'll be waiting for the stainless steel for the feel and durability. Hope this helps!
OxymoronThank you, that was very helpful. I wonder what the price differences will be between each of them. If they are all the same price, I will probably get the brass one :)
ZaarociFrom the previous posts Ryan of LCKT, it seems the steel will be 5$ more due to difficulty of machining relative to brass/copper. However, it all comes down to number of people who commit to the drop. I'd say it's a bit of a crap shoot as far as what the prices will be, so buy which ever one you think you'll enjoy the most! That's whats most important, ya know!
