[VashHash]

I'm working on stripping mine. I'll post results

 

[zombieassassin]

Good deal Vash.....waitin on pics brother!

 

[Iamthejellyfish]

Oh, and were there any grinder gremlin squiggles on yours? Mine should be showing up today and I can't decide whether or not I want to strip it.

Yes, you can see them a little on the photo above a little bit, at least it's not over the logo like on my BT6, that F'ed my whole etch on that one.

 

[Iamthejellyfish]

That is a nice deep etch! PCB or electro?

Thanks! Electro, about a dozen 9volt batteries hooked up in series. I went through probably 20 Qtips

Lookin good Vash....scrape er' down bro and get to sandin'.....the 13asic 13 is Such an Awesome Blade!

 

[VashHash]

Needs a little more work. Would have posted sooner but I've been drinking and Chopping.

 

[scrappy]

Looks great VashHash

I got mine today. I'm not sure I'm in love with it yet. Seems pretty thick behind the edge and the handle is a bit thin. Gonna have to give it a beating and see.

 

[Ibeholden]

Thanks Vash. Looks great! Does anyone think a handle mod maybe allowing a two handed grip would be cool on one of these...might be tough to pull off. It would change the balance.

The etch turned out awesome. Now for some hand power.

Hmmm, that's odd. If the blade blanks were surface ground, why are those surface squiggle marks there?

 

[TommyGun56]

Hmmmmm, why indeed?

Mine has a few on each side. I'm still debating if i want to sand them out and go full satin or just leave mine at 120 grit "comp" finish.

I've got them on SR101 blades but I think this is the first time I've seen them on INFI. I absolutely hate stripping a blade and finding those marks.

 

[TommyGun56]

Agreed, especially after the Surface Grinding???

Would those marks be a lot of work to sand away or could it be done relatively easily?

 

[Skrapmetal]

Anyone heard from Eric about whether or not we will be able to snag Mashed Cat kydex for these?

You'll be there awhile if you want an even finish on the knife. Unless you're going power tool method.
On a side note I've got about a comp finish. Knife weighs in at 24.4oz or 1.5lb. I'll try to get some pics up later.

 

[VashHash]

Also made a temporary blade holder out of pvc pipe but i won't show that.
