Today the coating of my cgSFNO got all scuffed up during some chopping (sorry no pics) and when I got home I stripped this lil' lady.

To my surprise no INFI dimples underneath the coating this time, but a near mint dc finish.

This saves me a lot of work ;-)
Thankx Busse Crew and especially Wookie and Amy to get me this one.

Sorry, but that's almost certainly a fake. Send it me and I'll investigate it for you.
 
I know, I know, but I've got to get hold of an SFNO somehow.

Can't take credit for this try though, got the idea from the "Ken44 reliable?" thread.
 
Wow, that looks fantastic! It looks like a factory double-cut finish. I need to find me some CG SFNOs :thumbup:
 
I traded for a user HOGFSH with standard scales and before I sent it into the shop for canvas Mags I stripped her (since I was also going to have them blast it)...to my surprise it was already double cut as well. There were no dimples, only a few deeper belt marks on the blade. I figure that this is what determined that it would received a coating before it left the shop the first time.

Congrats on the lack of work to do:thumbup:
 
Amazing... I guess Busse bead blasts all their coated SFNO's

That seriously looks like that is how you got it straight from Busse...:eek:
 
I didn't realize the Busse logo would still be there after stripping off the coating. It was removed when I stripped my AD. Does it go right onto the blade on all the larger models?
