Is it possible to gun blue a stripped bk9?

[Ausseknifeknut]

I think that would look heaps cool , but I'm not sure of the durability ? Also I'm a complete novice. Also what about is it called cerakote ?

Yes. Here is my stripped BK2 that I blued:

Cerakote is a ceramic based finish. Typically a spray and bake, there is also an air dry formula (be advised the air dry takes a while to fully cure...don't quote me on this, but I think it's almost a week)

Blueing the blade is pretty easy, just be sure to prep the blade thoroughly to remove all oils/fingerprints or any other contaminants that may cause the blue not to set in properly. The first time I blued a knife, i just followed the directions that came with package and it turned out pretty well.

Just a heads up as well... It's been said that gun blue is not safe to use on knives that will be used for food prep. I don't remember why exactly but something about the chemicals. Just putting that out there.

Thanks man, appreciate it. I have another planned for my 9, if I would just do it, haha. Here's the BK2 mod thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...and-Stripped-and-Striped-Oh-My!-(Photo-Heavy)
