0551 question

[newcoyote]

So I blasted my ZT 0551 titanium slab with heat to color it. Turned out subtle but nice. I completely disassembled it, cleaned it with alcohol and held a propylene torch to it. Turned it a quasi iridescent bronze, purple, blue. No the detent did not fall out. My question. I want to do the clip too but I am not sure if it is titanium or not. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

The stock clip on the 0551 is stainless steel. And yeah, I second the request for pictures.

Pics.Yes. The first blast made for a very subtle coloring that could only be seen under the right light and angle. I did not think it would show very well in a photo. Tonight I took the knife apart again and blasted some more with better results. I will try and take some pics to post come daybreak. And thanks Msass74. I finally clued in after realizing the clip is attracted to the magnetic torx bit. Duh!
