Anyone been with any strippers lately?

Anybody stripped SR-77 ? How much finishing does it need after coating removal ? Thanks !

I've seen it stripped and polished and it's nice if done with the proper grit progression.

It's interesting, I have this coated DS8 and it's been used quite heavily. The coating did get a little smoother, but appears very strong.

My new coated MMD has visible coating impact just by sticking it into some wood. I don't mind use marks, and it's supposed to be a user, still undecided ....

I stripped my SR77 MountainManDu. It’s still a work in progress. Will be done with it soon.

Cool, thanks !

Do you happen to have a pic how it looked immediately after the strip, before the sanding ? Decarb ?

Didn’t take a pic immediately after, just wiped it down and started sanding and polishing. I’m only like 75% done on the blade.

You can still see how rough the flats were, the primary wasn't likely too clean either... I remember those were sorta hollow CBT if I'm not mistaken

The blade is super rough when bare. It’s okay, bought this particular knife to be a hard use beater

The only time I have seen there not be decarb is if the blade was abrasive blasted before coating, this is not double cut but more raw. I've only seen this with knives where there were both combat grade and limited edition offered simultaneously with full flat grinds. Most blades will have the decarb present, fyi.

Well, it's in the sauce as we speak ....

 

[ferider]

And here it is. Love how it came out looking a little scarred.

looks ready to destroy something

How do you re etch the logo after its stripped?

you dont?

 

[Father & Son Traditional Sharpening]

you dont?

You cannot, people who etch the logo pool the etchant in the hollow of the laser etching being deeper than the coating. There's nothing left to pool etchant after the trough made by the coating is no longer present.

Smarter people can explain better than I lol. Check this thread

what is decarb?

I've seen a few posts lately with hogs talking about getting rid of dimples and decarb. So what exactly is decarb? How does it happen? How does it affect the blade? Is it possible for a knife to come brand new from the factory with it? thanks so much Jack

There are a few comments in this article thread that imply that competition finished knives have decarb under the scales, is that true?

Say what?

 

[coolbreezy37]

Removed the scales and stripped the rest of the coating. Got some hardware coming in for the scales.
