Busse blade Re-Coating Process: ***Answered***(Post #23)

Those are both really sweet knives. Are you thinking of stripping this to use it ? Or just want satin finish back ? Cause if your just going to use it, I’d probalby enjoy it with the coating for awhile. Looks like a really sweet blade with those c/s mods.

Well there's always that second guessing "I should have gotten double cut finish, it's better for more applications (food prep, etc)", and also the thought what a satin coated blade looks like underneath: whether it would look satin or something else. But you're right it's still a good coating

Wells there’s always the option of getting another infi Busse Blade in satin or the new comp or DC big finishes :-) :eek::D:D:thumbsup:

But that is sweet as is :thumbsup:
 
So, I asked and got an answer, for those of you that were curious: Garth said before a knife is coated it has a blast done to make the coating adhere better. If the blade in question was stripped it would look matte blasted.

Case closed :)

That pretty much confirms what I have suspected and thanks for the update! In fact, I have encountered that several times. The light gray ones under the coating sometimes have no machine marks like they were prepped for satin. That is how this one looked the other day when I stripped the coating off and then from there I took it back to satin.

Amazing, it looks like new! I guess that's the magic of satin finish :)

What tools/process do you use to get the rivet holes on and off?

The NMFSH’s have been, by FAR, the best looking blades I have personally found under the coating. :cool:

same for me on the NMSFNO...do you think it has something to do with the models that have full height flat grind?

Absolutely, that’s certainly why the blade looks so good. The flats on the 2 NMFSH’s I stripped were also pretty pristine though, having been surface ground and appearing somewhat polished too. :cool:

Thanks, but the real trick is cleaning them up to look like that one without removing the handles. ;) When I do remove them, I just drill them off like many others do and press them on with some flaring dies I made. Many guys have asked me about the commercially available dies and I have no experience with them. :)
