Hunter Douglas Martin Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Well I was commissioned to do a survival knife in exchange for a very nice crossbow. So I hopped on out to the forge and started pounding metal! 5160 semi-clip point 12" OAL It'll eventually get a very simple wood grip w/ paracord wrap over it, and I'm waiting to hear back if he wants a mirror polish or a blade coating to keep oxidation at bay. Oh and does anyone have any ideas on good blade coatings? Quote
Steve Sells Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 hot bluing... of course its never a good idea to offer a service before you can actually provide it. Quote
Hunter Douglas Martin Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 well it's not that I offered anything, but I was thinking about offering him that if got the materials and learned on a practice piece Quote
Jeddly Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Just a thought, don't know how do-able it is in your situation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_nitride Quote
looker Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I don't coat mine, I just blue them with gun bluing after cleanup of the steel. Most of mine are stock removal knives though. Looker Quote
