Ideas for titanium on ZT 551

[gangsta965084]

Is there a way to get a "hinderer" type of stonewash on my titanium? also what else would make this plain titanium look amazing?

Maybe flaming it to anodize and give it some color?

Use it alot so it has awesome wear marks. Best thing you can do for a knife and nobody can quickly copy it!

There are several videos on YouTube demonstrating people's self administered stone washing on blades and steel. If you wanted to go to all the trouble and used a media that leaves a desired finish on the Ti, it can be done. Maybe shoot an e-mail to the ZT/Kershaw folks as well as the Hinderer crew. I'd also ask about warranty issues and concerns if you desire to take your 551 apart and stone wash some pieces.
As a side, I really hope a Ti skeletonized liner is offered someday. The steel is fine, but it bugs me that it does not match the Ti locking side.

Does anyone know how to flame anodize here? Also I shot an email to the folks over at honderer about a possible stonewash job.

You could heat stripe:

Or anodize:

Or DLC coat:
