I think some of the cold blue kits leave a real gunmetal blue. I thought surface prep was one of the things that affected color. I dunno man... I used a strong degreaser (gun scrubber) and then applied the bluing - thats it. I'm really happy w/ it on that knife - but don't think I'm going to be doing any more of them... Definately not my Satin Rangers!

I guess that liquid wrench lightened it up then. I wish I knew why. I have no idea. Justin thought that it had something to do w/ stopping the oxidation - I'm assuming that the lack of oxygen forces the bluing to react w/ the steel while being oxygen starved... The bluing itself is a blue color.

I always wondered how a bedliner mixed with acetone and epoxy would hold up....given the surface wasn't completely smooth?!

I like both the RD9 recurve and RD4. Both are sweet looking blades. Why do you like them more than the Ontarios?

If you're a "details" kind of guy, the stuff like the flaky finish and other imperfections could get to you. I'm not one of those guys. The RATS are nice and light, sharp, and the attention to detail is very good. They're thinner... sharper... I don't have a favorite I guess. I've had great customer service from both companies. Mike Perrin at RAT is a great guy.

I always wondered how a bedliner mixed with acetone and epoxy would hold up....given the surface wasn't completely smooth?! Bedliner is pretty tough stuff. The trick would be putting it on thin enough.

I love Dan's blades. I love Jerry's Blades. I love Jeff Randal and Mike Perin's Ontario Rats as well. All for different reasons! None of them "the best!"
