Do folks find raw copper practical to carry? I’m interested in the Convoy T3 copper because (I think) it’s coated so no patina would develop. But I understand the metal changing is desirable to some.
I have two copper lights and hate carrying them both. My daily is a Convoy T3 Ti. I like the patina and the look of a copper light but I hate the smell and copper is a soft metal so drops really show up. The Ti has been through hell and shows almost no signs of wear.
Thanks. Good point about scratches - also makes me think that when the T3 coating scratches the metal could be exposed, leading to patina in those spots only.

Thanks, I’m leaning toward the titanium models based on your comment and @jon_slider@lemmy.world.
Practicality depends on your preference. It’s heavy, some people say it stinks. But scratches don’t make it look ugly and it ages nicely with time.
