Stripped a Brute today!!

[Pa_Slasher]

Yep got a Brute finally yesterday, and stripped that monster today. Hand sanded all the flats to 600 and the blade edge to 1000. Going to do more at a later date. That stuff kills my wrists. Well here it is.






I like it. Think this thing is a Brute!

Look purdy. Must have taken quite awhile.

Brutes is good stuff, still one of my favs

 

[Bladite]

[thrillbilly]

You gonna use it PA? If so I wld love some action shots!

I want one but Im curious how they perform.

 

[Pa_Slasher]

Thanks guys. I like the stripped look alot but I also like the black. Think I need 2 of every one of these lovely knives!! Was wondering if there is any reason not to use this monster to chop sh@t. I think I might have to have a little contest with the brute, machax, and 9. Gotta figure out which to carry camping and hiking.

That convexed brute you have out-chopped the "haze" BK-9 in a head to head on tulip poplar.......Fact.

 

[Skystorm]

The Brute chops like a fiend once you put a good edge on it. Convex it and go to town on chopping

 

[FAL'ER]

Did any of you guys send it out to get it convexed?

 

[Pa_Slasher]

I think it was when I got it. But how do you sharpin it?? Thats the ?

I sharpen convex on a mousepad, with wet/dry sandpaper. there are a ton of youtube vids on this method. stropping after really makes it pop hairs.

 

[disduster]

i stripped a brute a few days ago, yours looks good. i convexed mine on my 1x42 belt sander, and boy does it chop but not better then my plumb.
