BR and HR stripped

[Michael.D]

My Battle Rat was heavily used and coating was going off, so i decided to remove it completely, like i previously did with my HR. I used "Old painting remover" (poisonus, carcinogenic stuff ) + pumice-stone and it took me about 1 hour. However when i removed Crickle coating i wasn't satisfied with the overall look. Five minutes of sanding with sand paper of 1000 grit and then 2500 grit and now it looks pretty cool

Great work, Michael. The BR and HR make a great combo!

Lookin' good!:thumbup: I thought the BR was through hardened...guess not, though.

Only the Regular Tan handle with Black Blade ones were through hardened.

I really wish you people would quit stripping your coated blades. It is tempting me to do the same and I would just make a mess of it.

But seriously, very nice looking bare blades!
