Nice looking finishes Rob. A durable, subdued finish for combat Randall knives has been needed for some time. Is that Duracoat?

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, 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

Not at all, the baking temp is 110°.

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 smile

Peter
