nice, what did you guys use to flame them?

@ CM, any effect on the hardness on that edge?

 

[gomipile]

I'm guessing that Charlie Mike's looks that way partially because the edge has been carbidized.

i did mine a a gas stove, a torch wouldve been better i didnt have one at the time. i just polished it and heated the around the edges.

looking at the pic i dont see any carbodizing unless its on the other side

nice, how hot did you let it go to achieve those colors?

 

[Voodoosix]

im not sure of the actual temp, i just held the edges to the flame until it glowed bright red, i did small sections at a time and worked my way around the perimeter to keep the center the bronze color and purple on the edge.

im thinking about doing a Sage2 in the near future.

Exactly what I was going to post;

BTW, be careful when you flame the liner/frame that has the detent ball as the heat can open up the hole and let the detent ball go bye-bye.
