Ball Grip Belt Knife After Ageing
« on: April 22, 2010, 05:54:29 PM »
Got a little white out from glare, but there it it is with it's center seam sheath. The pitting is very light, and darkened with cold blue.

Fine looking knife. Are those brass cones on the sheath? How'd you get the color on the cones? BH

7 1/4" blade of 01 steel. Most cold blues will darken brass. I use Brownell's T-4.
