It came to me as black G10 on Muddy blade, new and unused. This is my first BJ as well as my first Muddy blade. I LOVE the BJ but really didn't like the Mud finish. Just not for me. I'm simple and like black or satin so I decided this was gonna be my first attempt at logo etching as well as a ghetto satin. I must say that I am VERY pleased with the results and plan to do more. Here's some pics from beginning to end....er.....at least what I have now. I may still "improve" the satin with some sanding and another pass with the med Scotch Brite wheel. Tasty whiskey (Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve) and my new arrival. This is after I convexed on a Work Sharp and slightly rounded the tip. Hanging with a friend after removing the scales. Painted up before the acid bath. This protects any exposed metal from the acid. For whatever reason I didn't take any pics of it submerged in the Ferric Chloride but it sat in there for about 48 hrs. Here it is getting stripped. I used Circa 1850 stripper and it worked GREAT!!! There was no need to use the brass brush. It was pretty clean. Paint removed!!! A look at the etching after the stripping. Shown with another CG model and a Busse satin finish logo. The etchant really deepened the logo!! I think it looks GREAT!!!! Here we are after Tyrade83 "buffed" it up with a med grit Scotch Brite wheel on a drill at high speed. The "finished" product with a dirty blade. I used it at work today and made some feather sticks when I got home. [img]http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/...1F-3E6BF24D785C-666-0000004C48D69989.jpg[/img] JYD #115
