I hope the mods don't strangle me for making a new thread for a similar item. But these are cool IMHO.
I have six Brewtal bottle opener/knuckle dusters available in a very unique finish. My local guy did a few extras on a test run and I started playing with the chemicals... See the other thread if you don't know what this thing is and are confused...
I call the finish on these 'Ancient Copper.' These are tumbled, acid etched, tumbled with media and acid, brushed, etched again and then heavily copper plated. This is then tumbled in a third media, and then brushed up to a shine. The result (IMO) looks like copper that has been buried for a while. They are still 6061 aluminum underneath all that, but just a different look.
These include a stainless split ring, professionally packaged and shipped via USPS first class mail in a bubble mailer to the lower 48 included just like the original. These are $15 (SOLD OUT) for the whole package for BF members. That's the price I charge on my site for the regular one...
I now have a total of 6 of the original finishes left too since his last few test cuts.
These will be the last of these for a while as I need to get some other projects done.
Cheers!
