Wel, some 600grit sandpaper, elbowgrease, sore thumbs and a small hours worth of work gets you thereWow!!! I really like that. I wouldn't mind doing that to my Insingo PS also.
The finish isnt as smooth as on the folders. It istnt stonewashed, and probably the gunkote would stick as nice if it was that smooth. This is why l quit with this result, and l really like the worn looks it has now.I like the way it turned out! Was the finish underneath the coating rough? I removed the coating off of a cheaper knife in the past and it looked like the blade had an 80 grit finish.
