Yes the test team reg would looks really nice. I was thinking about trying to pick up a bulldog reg and try this.

Then polish the edge up about a inch <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />.

I am thinking tan handle with a black patina blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />.

So other then some final sharpening I have the finish about where I want it. I have pics of the process, hopefully I can post them alright, I am a little new to this.

So here we go, starting to cook the blade.







After the first boil, starting to wire brush the blade.











After the second bleach boil.

I like it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> That is awesome!! I am going to do this asap.

I think it looks so good. Way to do it to it!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am blown away at how that turned out!! Brother you knocked it out of the park with that one!

Wow, that looks Bad A! I am going to try that on a hawk pretty soon. Thanks for shoaring the link, and your results.

I just can not believe the way this turned out! That is GREAT! Now I wonder about dropping a whole knife, res-c handle and all in there.....

How long did you let it cook each time?

I was wondering what the res-c would do.

Well it is supposed to be impervious (is that the right word) ok IMMUNE to about any chemical

I think doing it to the SR-101 was brilliant....now it wont ever rust. Wonder if Dan would ever consider this as a factory finish....did I drink to much of the koolaid.

The finished product does look pretty good
