OK
Is this a finish or coating. Is it bare INFI or what.
I'm thinking of ordering a ASH with this but just unsure what it is:confused:

Pics or info or both
 
Double cut is a bead blasted type finish- looks kind of frosted. I'm sure if you use the search you will find lots of pics that will let you see what it looks like.
 
i have a question to add to his original DC question... why don't they make a black version as well? .. i know it wouldn't be exactly bead blasted, but didn't they used to have a flat black coat (not crinkle) on some of the basic series??

thanks for the help...
 
Because they don't want to? :confused:

You could sand your black crinkle and get a flat black coat. Or paint it.
 
Swimmer, I think it's an evolutionary thing. The smooth coating they were originally putting on wore off very quickly with heavy use; this new stuff it nuclear.
 
hmm... i have thought about doing that on my new BATAC... do you think the pattern would come out pretty evenly black?

... just as long as i didn't sand through the coating... :o
 
I don't think sanding the black crinkle coat will give you the desired look. I would search the forum to see if any have tried this method. It may work to knock down the high spots in the crinkle, but I doubt that this will make for a finish reminiscent of the old smooth black coating. I suggest beating the living #&^# out of it and smoothing it that way.
 
bead blast?!?!
Thats kinda what I was thinking just a little ruffer then satin.

Thanks all

p.s. pics are great
 
I believe it's a two-step bead-blasting process. Different from other bead-blasting processes in that it actually seals the steel, making it more rust resistant. This is opposed to traditional bead-blasting which creates thousands of tiny divots, that actually encourage oxidation.

Another awesome Busse innovation.
 
This is like the third time this question has been asked in the past month:

Two blasting media cabinets:

1. Cutting media to desired surface finish
2. Peening media to "seal" the surface
