Stonewashing/Anodizing Advice Sought

[Sharperthansticks]

I had some scratches on my new Kizer knife. Tried to buff them out on my belt sander, and because I'm not terribly handy, I just made it worse.

I'm interested in sending off my knife to someone to stonewash it or anodize it or whatever the cool kids are doing nowadays that will make it so new scratches are a lot harder to see. Can someone give me some advice on what to choose and who to send the knife to?

I don't want the knife to look too crazy. I'm thinking maybe a stonewash or a dark red anodization. Currently, one side of the scales is all scratched up, and the other is not. I would like the final finish to look uniform across the scales.

Try posting this thread in here. You might get some better answers right from the horses' mouths.

Try to buff the other side too, then it'll match again!

Thanks, man. Will do! May the knife gods watch over and protect you. (Waves incense about.)

I don't want the knife to look too crazy. I'm thinking maybe a stonewash or a dark red anodization. Currently, one side of the scales is all scratched up/weirdly buffed, and the other is not. I would like the final finish to look uniform across the scales.

Oops. Looks like when I tried to post in that other forum, somehow I re-posted here. Hmmm....
