Blued NMSFNO

[David Brown]

Sweet. Does this mean you are adding blade refinishing to your list of services?

Nope sorry, not in my list of fun I want to do right now.

If you come to Tucson I will show you how.

 

[David Brown]

These look really cool by the way.

Very nice; great work.

David, that is very impressive looking. Don't have to worry about staining from wood, meat, or veggies now!

Once you strip the finish, I guess this decarb layer remains, it is not removed with the stripper? What is it, is it another application of undercoat finish in itself that can be blued or just a "roughing" treatment on the steel itself like glass beading?

The decarb is the surface layer of the steel itself wherein the metal has lost some of it's carbon content during the heat treat process. This layer will have different properties than the bulk of the knife.

this is cool as well. I thought the decarb layer was a little rough?

Probably varies. The satin finish that Dave Brown did on his NMSFNO is the way to go for smooth.
