First attempt at parkerizing

[RockinB]

Well had a customer order this knife and he wanted it
Black so this seemed to be best option for me
Turned out better than I expected .Now I want to try to do
Some stabilizing

Interesting. I've parkerized a rifle before but never a knife. I'm curious as to how well it will hold up.

Yea me too .have u tried other methods on
Knifes to blacken them I am learning as I go

You can use FeCl to etch it until it is black. I believe there is a British knife maker called Stuart barker who did it and it looked brilliant. I will find a link.

Looks really nice. I am tempted to try it.
