The blue tint I'm assuming is a heat coloring and you need to be good with a torch to touch it up. as for the etch I have a lot of tricks I do on mine to make em POP! but here's a good recipe for the diy. 50/50 ferric chloride and vinegar for 10 -15 min. at a time then spray with windex then combine 3 or 4 tablespoons of windex with 3 cups boiling water and rinse - the water boils at 212 degrees and this will neutralize acid in the pores w/o hurting the temper then dry with a hair dryer but don't touch the surface with your fingers until dry then steel wool or just hand rub and coat with ballistol
Yeah Chris the cool thing about an artknife is that they are still full blown knives - at least mine are! I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them! And Garett you actually can remove scratches very easily! You simply send it back to me and I'll have her like new in no time and for those that want to diy just contact the maker and find out what etching method he or she uses and you'll be able to bring it back in no time! heck the acid I use to etch I get at Radio Shack!
I wouldn't put it behind glass it would be in my pocket every day! I love making "art" knives but every one is a functional Knife even my miniatures... I can see this is a beautiful functional knife and it would be a shame to just display it!
Thanx Guys!! and thanx for the feature Ron!!! Yeah Garett some of my customers only display them but then again I've many who carry and use them on a daily basis! My folders can be completely disassembled so I can service anything on the knife but handmade usually means a lot more time and effort went into making sure they'll hold up. Since I make all the parts by hand each knife is one of a kind - unique unto itself and the only one like it on the planet!
Serious Art! Who would use it? it would just site behind glass if it were mine
While all of the knives that you posted pictures of could easily be Featured. I believe that this one especially deserves the honor this week. Congratulations, my friend!
I think that WOW! just about covers it.
