Stupid or Cool... You decide!

I'm sure the mall ninjas will eat it up. Put the pattern IN your steel rather than on the surface THEN it will be cool

" The idea behind it is to kinda confuse the eye...
So if it makes you look past it and washes out the lines a little it has done its job."

Worked for me, looks 3D

I think it stands on it's own, and even better, it'll change and lead to new and different things.

So I vote VERY COOL

Strider uses something similar, though I think the mesh is larger.

Busse as well.

I agree that will look good on large or tactical type knives.

Suggestions for a User Combat/Tacticool design are welcome...Tell me you would like to see.

Just an idea:
Match the coating design with the handle.
For example like WW1 trench knifes, they have diagonal lines in the handle for grip.
Have something like that and then have lines at the same angle run across the blade.

I think it would look better if it were on a folder frame or the likes, but not on the blade bevel. Keep experimenting though.

Going to try it on the Flats in a Satin Black Version this weekend

 

[Rick Marchand]

I'm not into it... but I respect it as somethong cool for those who would be. I voted "cool".

I voted COOL, but to me it doesn't fit the blade style you've applied it on.
I think it would be cool on folders and small pocket fixed blades

+1. What he said.

So how are you doing this finish??? just a wire mesh and then bead blast it?

 

[SCMknives]

I like it...makes it look like carbon fiber. I think whats important is that its something different and outside of the box.

 

[nate3993]

stick with it. it looks cool, and if the finish holds, then it's a win win as far as im concerned

 

[Hankins]

It is an Etch not a Coating so hopefully it willl hold better than a coating

 

[Fletch Helical]

I think it can look cool on the right knife, although I'm thinking if you did everything but the bevels it ,might look even better

 

[Hankins]

Stay Tuned

The blade shape is not my style, but I really like the coating!
