Hunter Douglas Martin Posted March 1, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looker Posted March 18, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
