First time stripping

[Lonewolf01]

Today I was at the store and saw some paint stripper and decided "Hey, why not strip my BK-2"

Here are a few pictures, since I don't know anyone that doesn't like pictures of a strip.

Before beauty shot.

And the strippin' starts, didn't take long, only about 15 minutes.

Before I started, I read this thread by OREGON FAL'ER, but decided I was too lazy, so I just stripped the blade.

Now I am just trying to decided what to do with it now, I'm thinking I may buy some micarta and maybe do a patina.

Looks good man, topless is ok by me I say get the micarta. I picked some up not too long ago and really like it.

Thanks. I have a few knives with micarta and I really like it, I think tomars may be getting a new customer.

Gotta leave something to the imagination

I used Klean strip in the spray can, I let it sit for about 15 minutes and it just scraped off with a putty knife.

I only stripped half of my 2 in the beginning, the rest will follow.

I found some paint stripper in my garage the other day (that i did not even know I had) And I might do the Fal'er trick on it, Like you didn't do.
