Might be a wild one...I know some of you guys are already headed for shelter. Stay safe out there:eek: I am looking out west toward Pond Creek, Nardin and Blackwell.....Looks nasty.......Heading our way, looks as though we might get clipped. Good thing most of us have our shops in the...

^^^All of the Above^^^ Toss an angle grinder in there though and go to town2thumbs Just wear shoes or boots.....flip flops and sparks hurt:D I know by experience.:eek: Have fun doing it whatever method you chose. Chris

Thats awesome buddy. Your getting there.....next try and start putting a couple bucks back here and there and upgrade as you can. We all take baby steps....I am still stepping myself2thumbs Chris

:DLOL:D I have nothing but respect for that, Jeff. I hope to see that blade turned out soon! Your doing a great job2thumbs Chris

That is crazy....LOL Well at least we know its better than plain old Rustoleum etc. I would say maybe the next step is to sandblast it, or just remove the scales/handles and clean it up on the grinder? Sounds like something that would happen to mecool 1:eek::D I am sure you will get...

Nice one! Looks scary sharp. Love that file-work on the spine!!!!! Great job. Chris

How did I miss this??????? Prayers and positive thoughts sent. Wishing all of you the best. Kick butt and take Names Barb. Chris

Cool! If not this blade....I am going to have to give this a try. I will experiment with a small EDC necker in Damascus I am working on. I cant wait to try this out!

Its awesome when a so called mistake our ouchy happens and then it turns out as yours did. I hope I can get the same results in the blade. I dont have a sand blaster though, but I think a good clean detailed sand job might take care of it? I will just play around with it and see what happens...

I would second the Paint Stripper. Also might try brake fluid. Get as much as you can off them hit it with an old work 60-80 Blaze or similar. Sorry top hear about the coating not holding out. I am not sure I would trust any coated blade with etching in vinegar etc though? I am not doubting...

ETA: Cant stop staring at them bolsters....;-0 Holy Moses brother. That looks fantastic. great....now I have to experiment with CB now...haha I really like how the patterns turned out on them bolsters2thumbs I have the Brownells Oxhpo-Blue. What was your methods buddy? Shoot me a PM/email or...

Thanks for the tip, Les. I am going to run with what Ed has stated here and see what happens. I am hoping its on my end and it will turn out! Hmmmm, blue you say huh. I wonder how cold blue would work? I have a bunch left over from when I blued my old Dan Wesson 1911. Now...where did I...

Hang tight, Brian. Someone will chime in soon. You might post some pics of your drive for the board to see. You also might try contacting Tracy AKA Boss Dog, or Nathan AKA Silver_Plate on the forum. Both know there stuff:D Hope you get it squared up soon buddy. Chris

James, I just wanted to say this is very cool of you buddy. Do not consider this an entry...I have been very spoiled over the past several months. I just wanted to give you 2thumbs and wish everyone luck. Cool deal you are doing here bud.:D Chris

Ed, my brother. You may have saved the day!!!!! Maybe I will try some 1084/15n20 next time. I do love Clints Damascus....after seeing his Bowie....I had to have some. I will give this a shot, Ed. Thank you very much for the added "Trick". God I love this place:D Now, where to find a 20"...

Les, The Ferric is brand new out of the bottle....just opened for this etching. Bought it about a month ago at RS. I am going to clean off the blade real good again.....then try another etch. I hope it works:eek: Being so new to this I dont know where to turn....Heat Treat or the Damascus?

Thats a slick looking Dagger, Josh. Excellent. First attempts at kydex= Success2thumbs Well done! Chris

Ed, Sorry about that. The steel's used are: 1095 and 15n20 The Damascus was heat treated by Peters Heat Treat Inc. I hope its just a step I am missing rather than heat treating??

Thinking about making it my new paddle.....Tactical butt spanker....LOL Thanks for the help, Rickster. Always count on you....LOL2thumbs:bud:

Ok, not really a huge problem. But I cannot get a good even etch. I got this billet from Clint AKA Ironarm. I absolutely love the patterns, but I feel I am not doing it justice with my etch. This is the first time ever etching. I used 3 parts distilled water to 1 part Ferric. I sanded the...
