July 4th: A Short Butaniku Folly

OUCH! :eek: Glad, glad, glad nothing was in the way!!!

Yeah, I've been debating taking sandpaper to my Cerakote FBM. Like it on the blade, hate it on the handles, feels like a bar of soap.

Not sure how much you want to spend to get convex.....but you could contact Ban Tang to do it. He just did my AK47.

I didn't know he was doing custom sharpening work on Busses again. Will have to get in contact with him before he changes his mind.
 
threatened-my-kids hard strike in the dirt. No cleanup, rinsed the guts off and dried it off with a paper towel. Might have put some oil on it.





 
Well, at least no blood was shed...

Probably. But it struck at my 4 year old, and wouldn't leave after 45 minutes of me trying to get him to go away. Then he came at me and lifted his head and that was it. And it was dark and I couldn't really see him very good with the strong backlight so I wasn't taking any chances.

I second this! It'll cost you a little, but nobody will do a nicer job than Ban when it comes to bringing the best out of a big chunk of INFI!

I meant "at least no blood was shed" regarding the op - but I'm glad the snake was dispatched without incident, too. I suspect most of us wouldn't have tried as hard as you did to shoo it away!
 
Glad no one was hurt. This thread ultimately reminded me how bad I want a short butaniku. The edge damage isn't terrible considering what happened. Thanks for sharing as was said above most people would have erased this video and never spoke of it

No worries... Better to show the good and the bad and learn a little, than to let the same or worse happen to someone else... Luckily no blood shed

Yeah, after researching a bit, his work seems top notch on the forums...

Media blasting would be the easiest way to get those scales popping and grippy.

That's one down side of the Cera coat is it is ceramic based. I dont think stripper works.

I may have to check into that... Would like to remove cerakote from the scales and the rounded edge of the finger guard where the coating was damaged (would like to actually have that rounded edge polished starting from the base of the blade's grind, down to the inferior aspect of the finger guard...Maybe have something inscribed on that rounded edge). I would even consider a bead blast finish of the entire blade (always liked the look of double cut).

Glad no one was hurt....Nothing a little re-sharpening can't fix. Sounds like a good idea about the sandblasted scales for removal of the cerakote. All the more reason to use the crap out of.
But hey...how bad was the concrete damaged?

I heard that a small island off the coast of China was wiped out by a Tsunami mere seconds after this beauty hit the ground.... Coincidence, I think not....jk
