Benchmade Mini Skirmish Custom anodizing job

[STR]

I had a visitor from Hawaii yesterday that dropped in to see me. This one is here for some color treatment.

The owner gave me creative license to make it unique so lets see what I can do to bring out the color and do some playing. Should be fun. Stay tuned.

For now here are some before shots.

Ok see how this compares now.

Shown here is the first anodizing for a base coat of blue 28 volts.

Then followed up with some owner requested swirl jeweling done at my discretion and then some cleaning up of the pattern already on the folder from BenchMade followed up by a second coat of purple at 18 volts. I think it turned out quite well. I only hope the pictures do it some justice cause it looks pretty good here in the hand.

Thanks for looking.
