Rob_Schoening Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/27/05 Posts: 480 Loc: Iowa.	Thanks for the comments guys! Rick, the finish is achieved using aluminum oxide as the blast media. I dig your son's 18, the handle wrap sets it off! - Rob _________________________ Rob Schoening www.lhgk.us

JR3 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/02/11 Posts: 78 Loc: Northeast USA	Rob, I totally dig the subdued 18. I may have mine blasted now. The handy thing about that type of finish is, when you muck it up, you can just have it re-blasted to look like new again. Rick, your sons 18 is also very cool. Did baking the finish effect the epoxy bond in the handle at all? TIA _________________________ Matt

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2587 Loc: Southeast Utah	Here is a little experiment I did with my model 18 I bought some brown micarta tubing, 1 inch inside diameter and 1.25 inch outside diameter and made a slip on cover for the handle of my 18. I put some finger grooves in it too. There is no permanent alteration to the knife. Who knows, there could be an ironwood cover in the future too Peter Attachments ------ ------ ------ _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
