double cut hell razor?

Matteo Escobar · Jul 30, 2006

Nope, I haven't.

I think it's because DC knives are essentially satin finished first, and the corrugations make it very difficult to satin finish.

give me ten more minutes and we will see if it works out....

ok so.... it doesnt realy look like any other double cut finish i have done.... but its realy nicce

valleytinworks · Jul 30, 2006

for some reason it looks much shinier in these pics than in real life,,,,,

That is pretty darn sweet! I love the dimples in INFI--I might have to bead blast my Hell Razor now!

valleytinworks · Jul 30, 2006

you should strip it first.... just from my experience...

TurnerIII · Jul 30, 2006

Ya - that does look cool! I like the metalic look!!

But wonder why the pockets in the INFI? To better hold the coating on? It would make it easer to finish and [if] on purpose would hold the coating better - mechanical retention....??

Interesting. Thanks for the pics! :thumbup:

Hey polish those flats!:barf:

valleytinworks · Jul 30, 2006

the only way to polish them out is to grind half the knife away.... you should have seen it before i 'polished it'

I stripped and blasted a SJT, not near as pretty, kinda uuugly as a matter of fact.

The finish is different on one side from the other, one side has the mini corrugations, and the other is just plain rough.

Take it down to 3/16" and you will have an anorexic HR.

This is the best and easiest way I've found to polish a blade. These pads can be bought at Sears for a few dollars. They are used for stripping paint and polishing. I use the Medium grit. They chuck right into your drill and you're off polishing.

It really gets that final shine on the blade. And when it gets a little discolored or tarnished from use, a few seconds with the drill gets it right back to gleaming metal. :thumbup:

I think I'm going to make them a little larger yet, but I got tired of filing.

I used a 6 in Craftsman Round File.

Gunsite · Jul 30, 2006

VTW, Great lookin HR, by the way. :thumbup:

Maybe try out the drill-polishing idea and you'll be seeing your reflection in her!!

darkestthicket · Jul 31, 2006

That is a NICE looking knife. seriously!

How time intensive was that? Would the EZ-Lap M make too large of a serration? I imagine diamonds would work a lot faster than steel that is only 2 or 4 RC hardness points harder than the INFI, but I don't know of any other thin, round diamond files... Anybody???
Good work there Gunsite, that looks like it'll work as intended, even if it took a while to get done
