RZE UTD-8000

The RZE UTD-8000 is praised for its full titanium construction with scratch-resistant coatings and comfortable wearability, offering significant value at its price point. Reviewers note its modern materials like Cerakote-coated titanium and sapphire crystal, though its feature set does not rival more expensive digital competitors. Overall, the RZE UTD-8000 is considered a compelling enthusiast piece for its material execution and value.

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
