RC-3 Flectar trial

Looks good man! I agree about doing the pattern like the photoshopped pic but you are definitely on the right track. I think the camo patterns look sweet. :D

No problem. I love that stuff.

Just to be picky, though...that's not a flectarn pattern. It's more of an old woodland camo. Flectarn camouflage is composed of overlapping dots/spots. I spent quite a few years in Germany surrounded by the stuff.

I have a desert tan ESEE-3, and if you could that same pattern (either pic #1 or pic #2) with various shades of brown/tan then my knife would already be on its way to you!
 
thanks all....as you know if you have seen any of my other work....I do things a little left of center.....got to be different in this world to be able to leave your mark. ;)
 
I PMed jforbush a while back and told him to give this camo a try that I did on a stock for my old Mini-14. This would look sick with a set of canvas micarta scales. :D

The guy who originally made the how to, bjwar10 on another forum, was using big 6" pine needles. We don't have them either so some guys started using a straw broom.

Do your base coat and then start with the colors. I took the straw and tossed it on the stock randomly. Nature is random. Then basically just hit it with stripes of color here and there, this way and that. There were a couple places that looked very tan, just small spots so I dusted them with green.

they come that way from the factory....I did some gray liners on another ESEE project for a forum member....I guess I can really do any color of liners though.

Cerakote is pretty stout. I've been using it on firearms for a couple of years now. Just for giggles, I refinished my wife's compost/garden shovels with it last summer and it's holding up very well. As an added benefit, the coating is almost "non-stick" and it exhibits much more lubricity than the bare steel. The edges show a little wear, but otherwise, they still look pristine after a rinse with the water hose and I don't have to worry about rust/corrosion.

I think it would work quite well on knives/machetes.
