Looks great, well done! Thanks for posting it. Looks like you polished it well too. The biggest problem with Scothcbrite is the ugly type of unrefined finish it gives, but you avoided that by finishing it further with the trizac pads. That was a good move.
 
I'm pretty sure this thread inspired me to do a blue sebenza.
Just picked up a Dremel 8220 so I may get into polishing these to really make the ano shine. Not on this one though. I'm very happy with it.

I'll post the Umnummzaan I'm doing once I finish it. Bronze/green 2 tone :)
 
I anodized this with a torch and then cratered it with a carbide drill bit, turn out better than I was expecting

Did this Large Sebenza 21 the other day. Bronze color shift. Satin clip and show side scale.

I bought the small sebenza in the photo on the forums a few weeks ago. It's been anodized blue and then distressed. Looks awesome!

Hey thanks for the compliment, but honestly, anodizing is very simply work! It's all about following a procedure closely to get the results you're after. I'd be happy to help anyone learn how to do it on their own.

Looks good!
 
Chris Martin at Phantom Steel, he mostly makes his own knives now but I talked him into taking this one on after seeing a Youtube vid of a Umnumzaan he did on Jim Skeltons channel. Sorry the photo is not quality. One day I am going to invest the time and energy in a photo box setup and learn to take a good photo.

Blasphemy! No, I like most of these examples, and own a blued Sebenza 25 that you may have done. Keep up the great work...;-)
