New Busse and Kin PIC HEAVY!!!

abizzybomb · Aug 3, 2013

Thanks to alaskanativeson selling a skinny on Ebay and gunfixrjoe selling a CS R3 on the trade section I scored some great knives! I gave the Ash the "Bomb" treatment. The CS didn't need a thing other than a sheath and Joe hooked me up with a custom kydex gift! Murf Paw Kydex is fantastic. Now for the pics.

And yes that has bacon in it!

Thanks! The Ash is etched, stripped and stropped.

That R3 sharp enough for you?

That ASH-1 has a lot of character.

Nice job on the Skinny Ash :thumbup:

If you have a lot of time on your hands you can give the knife a good satin finish using wet and dry paper and then Flitz. Always follow the grain of the grind from the spine to the edge and for the hilt and the ricasso a wedge shaped pencil eraser is a good "block" to get into the small recesses.

It only took me about 16 hours

Yeah, I'm not sure... I think it is but, it doesn't seem to be affecting the condition of the blade. When I "Bombed" my DSSF I removed it and polished the blade. On my RD7 I didn't. I was going to see if anything started to happen and if it does it will be satined or polished. Thanks for the head up and further info. I was hoping it was just part of the coating that just didn't come off because I love the way it looks.

Haha! I should've seen that coming.

I always have a shaved spot on my arm or leg or both from testing my knives that are sharper than a working edge.

Thanks Zymologist!

That's a DSSF stripped and slightly polished. Now it's like a DSF.

Gusbuster & RobStanley, Thanks and yes... She wants to be abused!
