Well, being one to not leave good enough alone, upon receiving my HOG ASH today, I had to strip it! :eek: Well, no one else was going to want a knife with "Porkducci" on it, so I might as well make it to my liking. So, here are a couple of the before and after pictures. I will add a satin finish and reattach the handles. I'm not sure why the handles look so green, because they really aren't in person.


Before:







Now that is what I call a crinkle coat!!!!!







All ready for a new finish.......

The blade looks almost DC with the coating off. Looks like you've got a head start on the polishing!
 
That does it, I'm going to slap your ass silly next time I see you. First the "Stubby" grindomatic crap and NOW THIS!

ARE YOU NUTS PORKDUCCI ?

So lets see some pictures of your "Juicyducci" HOG knife!!!! You don't know good look'n when you see it!! Heck, you thought Cobalt was good look'n until you spotted Teabag! :eek:

Wow, that must have taken some balls....

Can I ask how you re-apply the alu tubes that hold the scales in place?

I believe its quite tricky.
 
Looks good Ducci, now go cut some bricks with it. ;)

Buffalo, you need to cut and add new handle rivets after you drill the old ones out. Not hard at all. :thumbup: There are a couple threads on the process around here.

Geeesh you guys, calm down! I'm just removing the muddy finish, cleaning up the spine all around (there are a few black marks from heat treating), adding satin finish, then putting the handles back on with either titanium or stainless tube fasteners. Its not like I ruined the value of the knife, it only cost $167!!!! Not like someone wants a knife with "Porkducci" on the blade, well, I guess you could have Ban sand it off and it would be worth something then.

I like it. :thumbup:

How much work do you think it would be to remove the "Porkducci"?
I've got to do something to mine as "Rvoknio" is bugging me to no end. :(

OK--this absolutely HAS to be said...nuthin' like a stripped ASH first thing in the morning!! :D Actually looks pretty cool, though I like the muddy coating. Nice job, Porkducci! :thumbup:

I'll give you $177 for it. After you're done. :D
 
I paid more for my BRKT! Don't see your model in the Company store for $167 with a name on it Ran?
