Hey guys
I think this is the right place to get the help I need. I’ve followed how everyone strips the coating off their Becker knives. Technically this isn’t a Becker knife- it’s the Kabar Hinderance - which has 1095 cro van - so I followed the directions people were saying.
Here’s what I did:
1-I applied Jasco overnight and removed the coating on the blade
2- There was rust on the edge so after the coating was off I used Bar Keepers Friend cleaner and scrubbed it down a couple times
The problem: So, after drying the blade - I noticed that a film of micro rust was coming out of the blade immediately. The whole thing has a yellowish/orange tinge and when I wipe it with a towel it looks like rust
What do I do??
How do I get this stuff off and how should I proceed?
I was planning on doing a mustard patina but I don’t know. Need some advice from some modding veterans here . Thanks
