Didnt work again. Anyone know if I can post pics from flickr? I am good with blades but not computers.:)
 
Upload the pictures to imageshack.us.

You can upload pictures from your desktop, choose the resolution that is best for message-boards.....it should say next to the resolution (640 x 480 or 480 x 320???). Once uploaded, it will give you the code needed to paste into the forum....choose the message-board code....should start with a (IMG) tag.
 
I am thinking about rounding off the prybar on my HEST. I don't carry around because it is always getting stuck on something. It seems like a good idea in theory, but not practical for an EDC/on the body carry. I usually toss it in a bag.
 
That came out great.....especially the DPx X side of the HEST. The grapefruit trick is awesome! You just make a thin slice and lay it on?
 
YAY! Looks good. Details!


Ace hardware extra strength stripper.
clean very well with gray scouring pad and dishsoap.
Slice up some grapefruit and lay it out on a cutting board, put the knife on the slices, then put slices over the top of knife, I then use a cookie sheet with a 20lb weight on top to compress it all down for good contact of the grapefruit, wait 4-5 hours and voila! cool patina.
 
Yes I agree the best patina I've seen yet. I see you used a grapefruit for this. Can you give some exacting details on how you did this, including stripping, when you have a chance? All the patinas I have seen were just ok and I never wanted to try this. You have me wanting to try this. Thanks....
 
Thanks guys! I have tried many many different things for patinas but in my opinion grapefruit slices are the best by far.
