I am thinking of modding my Kershaw JYD2. I want to install Titanium liners. I have the 6AL 4V Ti plate and I have the equipment to machine it. Just have to find the time.

hey steve..i never studied brasso and knife cleaning and any after effect so heads up?... but it has alway s worked for me...

what you want to look out for is what i call leaching. this is where when you use brasso or something similar and it leaks into the material on the handle...normally wood.. TUNRS WHITE..after years it builds in cracks and looks bad.{ i have even used BRASSO to get scratches off DVD's..{learned it online,it WORKS!} 

..and just like this acticle im posting a link to is about using and removing  the brasso from what you have cleaned.

 

my own use tips are-

1.a bottle of brasso can go a long way!!..dont over use what you have. a bottle can last and last!!

2.if working around materials like wood...and your not taking knife apart.TAPE up the knife on all the parts you wont be cleaning with the brasso.on all of the knife that YOU DONT WANT BRASSO to get on cover in tape!

the rest of the things in this article are great for using brasso.

IF ANYONE KNOWS OR HAS HEARD OF ISSUES WITH USING BRASSO ON KNIVES PLEASE TELL US! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Steve,

Looks good!

How did you go about removing the rust?

Nice looking Ideal Knife Co. example Nice work. I have an Ideal from probably the same time period, yellow celluloid scales. Mine is a single blade and it has a chisel grind. (one side only) It's very sharp as a result. I made a large bowie with a chisel grind, It digs into a limbs and saplings one way and tends to lift out the other way. Like some antiques axes for removing bark or close work where you don't want a glancing blow to get you.

That is really a good job Steve.  Looks like a different knife.  Excellent.

Nice job, Jack . Ironwood is some hard & pretty wood. The pattern resulting from the grain is sweet ..and.. if you drop it, the ironwood dents the floor.

Oops, sorry.

This is a Spyderco bug.  I inclused a pic of it with a Spyderco Bradley Folder (previously called a Gayle Bradley) for some scale.
