Bead Blasting Question

[roma kid]

I recently acquired an older/used Spyderco knife with Titanium handles. The handles have a bead blasted finish. It looks like someone tried to polish them, which messed up the nice blasted look.

I took the knife apart and would like to find a bead blasting service to refurbish them. Of course I would pay for this service. Does anyone know who might do this?

Thanks

Texas Knifemaker Supply will blast blades, so they may do this as well.

I can, STR can also, a lot of people can. If you can look in the phone book under sandblasting, I bet you have a couple in your own area that can do this for you. Price should be no more than 10 bucks, they might do it cheaper???

Sounds crazy but you might try to find a headstone/grave marker company. I found one locally that bead blasted a 1911 slide a few years back. The owner quoted $10 but when I got there he wasn't around and the guy cutting stone did it for gratis.

A side note: no one that did metal prep would touch a "gun". Don't know about knives.
