Hi, Mike Cecot-Scherer here, owner of TheTentLab and maker of the Deuce of Spades™
It’s SECONDS DEAL TIME! Let your friends know. They won’t last long!
I have two kinds: regular weight cosmetic seconds and TOO LIGHT out-of-spec ones. You heard right, I’m tightening up my specs and now I have a bunch that are “too lightweight” – weighing from 14 to 15 grams (and the new spec is 15 to 16.5 grams).
The reason I raised my minimum weight is that, while most people would probably want lighter, there are others that might feel that thinner ones are too flexible, that they’re flimsy – which they are NOT. The 7075-T6 alloy they’re made from makes even the flexible ones really strong and tough. But I don’t get to tell every customer that, so thicker they shall be. Also, on my website I make a big deal about getting the handle comfort tradeoff just right, thinner starts to be harder on the hands. So I’ve kind of set a standard there too. So from here on out, the lighter and thinner Deuces are only going to be sold to people that I get to tell them about the increased flexibility and slightly less comfortable handling. You perhaps?
GET ‘EM WHILE YOU CAN!
