How to Re-Color Knife Blades

[pd999]

Hi all,

have taken off much of the black color on my blades, after abusing them for some time.

Are there any products / paints out there which I could use to touch-up the worn-off patches, and prevent rust seeping through ?

I don't want to send it to a custom shop for a refurb, I need my knives daily.

The final result doesn't need to look great, just functional (ie a tough coat, able to withstand abuse, and prevent rust underneath).

Am looking for a matte black finish for current combat-grade Busses'.

Thanks !

Peter

Rustoleum hammered finish? Never tried but it's worth a shot.

This may not be of much help but Ontario a uses Zinc Phosphate primer finish. If your blades are Ontarios you could buy a can, touch up the worn spots, and sand with 600 grit wetndry. Should come out pretty good

Thanks, will check out their website to see if I can buy a can.
