What tech is used to create the BUSSE logo?

Also, I couldn't help but notice it's black on this comp finish:

And white on this stripped TGLB, is this normally the way it goes?

Stripped = white
Factory comp finish = black?

The color variances are from light reflection.

It's probably etched in with acid and electricity or something. It's common.

I'm pretty sure it's laser engraved.

Ah, right, that's another option. Burned in with LASERS!

As far as the logo, it should... huge assumption here, but it doesn't seem very sensible to come up with different logo-application methods that vary by blade finish when all the logos go on the steel itself. But the CF and coated-then-stripped finishes themselves are different.

No. Competition grade gets another step in the process to remove the decarb layer and slightly clean up any tool marks that are sometimes present on coated blades.
 
The logos are lasered on. The pic of mine is reflecing the light. The comp finish steel is very bright and clean, therefore the logo appears darker. Move the knife around in the light and you will see the logo 'shimmer' or reflect the light differently to the rest of the blade.

Decarburization happens in the heat treat oven, when oxidation causes some of the carbon on the surface of the steel to be lost. This change in the alloy compostion usually has a negative effect on properties. But it generally just a surface layer, and can be removed with light abrasion.
 
Really small hammer and chisel. LOL

Actually as stated above the logo is applied with a laser.

Please say it is a laser that is attached to a sharks head at least :)
 
Jerry knocks back a couple shots of Johnnie Walker then stares at each blade until the logo is forever etched into the soul of the knife.
 
Damn Dave, you're on a roll tonight. You got me rollin', at least :D

I watched a little about laser mining on Modern Marvels the other day; check this out, CNC machine INFI with a laser, THAT would be the ultimate bad ass.

Here's another quick question, CNC made knives (TGLB, AALB) aren't available in satin, correct, just surface ground blades? An den... If so, is the Butaniku surface ground :D :D :D :D :D ?
 
Not Sharks its Carp with frikken lasers that's all they can afford with this lousy economy.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
