Those folks at Wurkkos don’t hang around. 7 days after ordering and 6 from dispatch, to the UK. I also got the free holster as part of the Father’s Day promo, although it’s too large for the TS10 - I’ll find a use for it! The longer, black clip came too.

Red AUX 3000k Orange, 4000k I think the red looks superb against the copper.

Congrats!

Suprised to see the label says Red Bronze..

Chinese use the same root word, tóng, for Brass, Bronze, and Copper, as they are all different colors of Copper or Copper Alloys.

Usually what we call Copper is what they call Red Copper, and what we call Brass they call Yellow Copper.. but I dont know why they labeled it Bronze.. Initially the Brass TS10 was called Copper.. so there is some confusion in translation..

notice these are all tóng:

copper: Tóng

red copper: Zǐtóng

bronze: Qīngtóng

red bronze: Hóng gǔtóngsè

brass: Huáng tóng

yellow copper: Huáng tóng

now my question is.. is the TS10 actually Pure Copper (I want to believe that), or is it an alloy w tin, aka bronze (I dont think so but needs confirmation).
