Satin Bead blast sebenza

Kdawg · Mar 2, 2011

Just thought I'd show the forum my new satin bead blast sebenza.This sebenza was originally a reverse gray scale finish with the polished titanium scale.Well for edc I quickly found out I wasn't a big fan of the polished titanium scale,,,shows smudges very easily and in my opinion makes a great knife look like hell.

Well at work we have a bead blaster so I thought I'd certainly like a bead blasted finish better than the polished ti so i decided to take down the knife and blast the scales and pocket clip.After a few minutes of blasting the result was a very good edc satin finished titanium scale.I've carried it for a day now and it doesn't show smudges nor any scratches yet,,,,I'm much happier with this finish that it's wearing now.

Very nice !! I blasted my small wood inlay sebenza for the same reason and was very happy with the results !!

Looks great. I just ordered a large regular and couldn't find a plain one anywhere. I am planning on having one with a polished side and graphic blasted to get it as close to a plain one as possible.

I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

I would love to see a stonewashed pair of Sebenza handles. :thumbup:

Nice job:thumbup:, the bead blasting looks great. Not only does the knife look great, you have access to touching the scales up when needed. Now go beat the hell out of that knife

Great job, Kdawg!! I like it. I'd bet it's one in a million now.

Man, if we had a bead blaster at work, I'd probably wind up with bead blasted everything. Keys, knives, coins, flashlights, tools... you name it.

Is it a large or small.

Kdawg · Mar 4, 2011

It is a large and the finish turned out to be brighter than the plain sebenzas and is working out great for EDC.Isnt showing any scratches or smudge marks.I tried to take more pics but im doing it with my iphone and the quality isnt the greatest but heres some more pics.
