My newest Mistress is a stripper!

[clampdaddy]

Just got a Bushwacker Mistress and I i could see some of the pretty little INFI dimples thru the coating so she got stripped and blasted. Can't wait to take her on her first camping trip.

Wow that looks great! Might have to do that with one of my coated blades down the road

 

[kniferMan]

Amazing! Nice work on an amazing blade.

Probably the most underrated of all Mistresses! Looks great brother.

 

[Mike Pierson]

Very Nice!

I tell ya what, there was a time I couldn't properly appreciate that deep fried Infi but man that looks really nice!

 

[PeteyTwoPointOne]

looks like a different model not painted up like a dance hall floozy...

nice classy etch, to boot...

 

[Currawong]

Good stuff!! Enjoy that awesome blade

Damn! Wow! How’d you get it so spotless like that?

I use a bead blasting cabinet. When it is running right it makes quick work of removing the decarb.

yup, that handle looks a little less prone to pinky bite ...is it?

do you have Harbor Fright model?

No. It's a big monstrosity about the size of a Buick. Lol!

Really! Man, it looks spectacular. Do you remove the grips too?

 

[Surfsidemel]

I do not. I really should get the stuff to do it. I just chemically strip them first so I don't have to do any more blasting on the handles than necessary.

 

[Private Klink]

Looking good!

Naked Mistresses are the best kind of Mistresses.

That looks great. What is the grind like? Is it like a skinny Ash? I have never seen a picture that showed what the bevels are like or how thick the edge is.

Wow, that looks nice, including the micarta!

I should probably do that to my BWM CF - it's an early CF model with lots of decarb, and looks like a brown-spotted dog (because of the rust). Funny thing is, it might be the sharpest Busse I own, with an incredibly sharp zero edge - I hate to screw up the edge refinishing it.

The BWM CG (like clampdaddy's) and the BWM CF have a convex grind.

I've never handled a skinny ASH but the edge is on the thick side.
