Custom Titanium Anodizing

[WValtakis]

Hey guys, I got sucked in to Candlepowerforums for a while, but I'm back now. While I was over there I got into Ti anodizing on flashlights and knives, here's the most recent project. I figured it was about time I came home and showed you guys the progress...you can see my full anodizing thread on CPF here, figured I'd leave the ano'd flashlight pics out of this one.

Protech Custom Titanium Godson with Mother of Pearl button, hand mirror polished 154cm blade

Silver (bare Ti) and bronze splashed on dark blue

Let me know what you think I'll be posting pics of past projects as I wade through photobucket

I'm pretty proud of this one...light blue and dark blue knotwork on a green background with gold and blue accents.

This was my test run for the knotwork, dark blue knotwork with bronze border on light blue background.

The light is a Ti Exolion, bronze and gold flames on blue background.

Thanks, it's taken a lot of work to get these kind of results. Ti anodizing is very simple in theory and yet can be incredibly difficult at times. If anybody would like similar work done feel free to contact me.

That's amazing work. I honestly can't decide which is my favorite. I anodize Ti as well, but I'm still in the dark age, using a propane torch.

Thanks guys! The first Ti coloring I did was heat striping my Leatherman Charge Ti scales. The only drawback is being limited to the low range colors.

I almost forgot this old pic of my Sebenza, the first anodizing I did...

This was before my wife had it converted by Butch Vallotton for my birthday, now it's splash ano'd to match the timascus button with citrine in the hole. I'll get a current pic at some point.
