Zirconium

Is Grave Raven worth it? Also, are higher end metals worth it?

I think I have a decent (but small) collection of mostly mid tier spinners. I have a Hyperstone Lite, FidgetHQ Zen Duo, Stealth Chunk to name a few that I have, along with a number of clones. Everything I have is either copper or stainless steel.

I've really liked the design of the Binary Fusion and have always wanted a higher end metal, and I'm considering getting the Fusion in Zirconium. Most of the reviews I've seen speak highly of it but I've seen other posts that say it's overrated. Does anyone have it who could give me feedback?

I'm nervous to spend this much on a spinner I've never even seen in person before and on a metal I'm unfamiliar with. This would be my most expensive spinner by a significant margin so I'm pretty hesitant. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am turning to this forum for piece of advice about my current dental situation.

I am 33 years old. I have had not very strong enamel since I can remember, and recently I have been experiencing some sensitivity in my upper central incisors. Couple of months ago one of my fillings fell off from one of them and my dentists replaced it, but since then they have become even more sensitive. I had an appointment couple of days ago and my dentists explained that it’s probably due to the fact, that both incisors are very thin and worn out, meaning the nerve is starting to get exposed more and more (attached photos). I strongly suspect this abrasion is the consequence of my particular “bite type”, because my bottom incisors always slide against my lingual side of upper incisors. Otherwise I do not have problems with griding my teeth in my sleep or anything like that.

Currently this is not an urgent matter, but I am starting to feel some discomfort due to sensitivity. My dentist recommended zirconium crowns would be a best solution and wants to implement them as soon as possible. I believe he mentioned being made with computer assisted modelling and they also measure the colour shade beforehand, so they match very good with other teeth. Considering it is an important health issue for me, the price tag is not that high (250 eur per piece, because the rest is covered by health insurance).

I unfortunately lost some confidence in my dentist, since he made some bad decisions in past years regarding my other dental issues – that is the reason I would like to get a second opinion from kind dentists of this forum :) Is there even an alternative on the long run or is this the only reasonable way to proceed?

I really appreciate all the answers,

Best regards

EDIT & ADDITIONAL INFO:

I really appreciate your in-depth answers and analysis. Based on your answers I will certainly look for a second opinion.

I just wanted to add some additional info regarding my question. There were some suggestions to using occlusal guard in my case. I will certainly give it a shot since it could help against further wearing down of my teeth. I must say that I don’t have a tendency to grind my teeth because of stress, also my partner says I do not do that at night. But I believe I am very susceptible to acid erosion. Couple of months ago I was drinking some wine at a wedding and my teeth hurt for almost two weeks after the event when I was brushing them (and I use Curaprox ultra

Hello my EDC friends, up today is my Zirconium Tactile Turn Side Click. I just got this in the mail on Saturday to see if it could kick my Saga out of my pocket but it is not going to happen.I really like this pen and would keep it of I didn't have the saga, but I like knives more then pens so I'm letting it go to pad some knife funds.

This is BNIB (A+)never carried no blemishes to be found. Really top notch machining by will and the Tactile team. They are $250 from Tactile and I had to wait a few weeks for a restock before I could order.

$200 shipped. She gone.

If anyone has one they’d like to offload, please let me know your asking price. I might like to buy it off you. :)

[SOLD]Smock 20cv with smooth red micarta scales (I believe from sharp dressed knives) and a deep carry clip. Grade [C] for mods and I slightly stripped and then lost a damn clip screw. I replaced it with the blue one you see in pictures. It holds. Second detent has been removed but will be included in the original box. Does not include original scales. Typical Smock action and centering is decent. Edge is still factory. Has been carried less then 5 times and used to open a package or 2.[SOLD] $225 http://imgur.com/a/HtDpUPs

[SOLD]Next up is the Protech Malibu reverse tanto stonewash. [BNIB] Only removed to flip a couple times and take pics. Asking what I paid. $225. http://imgur.com/a/MKQnWwy [SOLD]

Last is the maverick customs zirconium fulcrum [C] as I'm not the first owner, and for some minor scratches I showed in the pics. This thing is really nice with a dope timascus clip. I wouldn't be selling it but I keep buying knives and need to keep funding the purchases. $150 http://imgur.com/a/3yMqdCK

When I looked up "knife made of clay" on google I got a link that took me to a wiki page for a ceramic knife made out of zirconium dioxide. However, no where on the wiki page did it state zirconium dioxide was a clay. Dissatisfied with my initial internet search I did some more research I found conflicting sources. So I turn to reddit for the answer, could you classified zirconium dioxide as a clay?

Here is the link to the wiki page I was presented with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_knife#:~:text=A%20ceramic%20knife%20is%20a,zirconia%20using%20solid%2Dstate%20sintering.

Hi all, I’m relatively new to this community but I’ve done several trades before on Hardwareswap and AVExchange.

I am looking for a Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen, preferably with a Damascus Bolt. I’m looking for either the Titanium or Zirconium bodied pens. For Titanium, I’d prefer the Short but open to hearing offers. For Zirconium, I’m open to buying either the Regular or Short varieties.

For the vanishing point, I’m not particularly interested in any limited edition options. I’d like something in good condition but beyond that I don’t have too many preferences on this one. I’d like a black or blue pen but I’d be open to seeing anything.

In general I’d like full sets (original boxes/papers if they apply)

Please let me know what you have and please comment before sending me any PMs. Thanks!

Edit: no longer looking for regular titanium bolt action. Still open to Zirconium options and Pilot VPs. Would prefer fine/EF nibs for the VP and not looking to spend more than $120.

Thought I’d give this a shot here since I haven’t had much luck elsewhere. Trying to find a Zirc Tactile Turn bolt action in any size, but preferably shorty. DM me if you have one and your asking price. If you’re interested in knives I have a few to trade you might be interested in.

I am selling off some unused items!

Description:

No major discernable wear. Maybe the butt of the knife is slightly worn in ano? You can judge I can't really tell. Rating a B.

Raffling another knife due to not using it forever. I am the original owner. It has cut a couple amazon packages. The action...is godly. Flicky Flippy and fun. Drop shut and delicious. Zirc is bae. There is some slight side to side blade play that I can't seem to tinker out. It's very minor and I'm not sure if I just never noticed until recently or if it always had it.

Hi all, I’m relatively new to this community but I’ve done several trades before on Hardwareswap and AVExchange.

Looking specifically for a Zirconium Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen with a Damascus Bolt, in the Regular/Short size.

As for the Pilot, I'm looking for one Vanishing Point (Preferably in Matte Black with a Fine/Extra Fine nib), and maybe a Decimo as the second one (in a dark color, maybe burgundy/blue/black?). Looking to spend $120 at the absolute highest for each of these.

In general I’d like full sets (original boxes/papers if they apply)
