Members YinTx Posted August 16, 2018 Members Report Posted August 16, 2018 If you are really offended by the color, you could always apply antique as a last ditch effort prior to donating to the scrap bin. Or just simply dye it black. Useable, but not the original intended look! I think it came out pretty cool.

Members mick86 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Members Report Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks every one. I posted the same thing on Facebook and got similar feedback. Everyone likes the way it looks so I am pleased about that and will leave it as is. Its strange that this texture came out on the sheath for this knife because the knife itself had the same issue. I wanted it to have a black finish on the blade but it just wouldn't take a consistent patina so I just let it do its own thing. And Just like the sheath people loved the look of the random finish. So I'm very pleased. Thank you all for your input. Quote
Members mike miller Posted August 17, 2018 Members Report Posted August 17, 2018 i would get some ferric chloride for putting a patina on your blade. Cut is 3 to 1 with distilled water and you will get a consistent finish after it is etched for a few minutes. Quote
Members bullmoosepaddles Posted August 17, 2018 Members Report Posted August 17, 2018 Totally bad ass package. I like the spider sheath especially. The second knife just looks like it was born with purpose and intent. Thank you for sharing. Quote
