Taz Rat--Stripped Blade

[WILLIAM.M]

Took the coating off my Black Taz Rat

Left the coating on the grip section

Used this Stripper-brushed it on,waited 45 minutes and most of it came off with a rag

Then I used that polish on it.

No power tools used-just rags and my fingertips

Total time less than 10 minutes after the 45 soak in the stripper

It's not perfect-but this is a USER and I'm going to beat it like a rented Mule.

Awesome job. I'm not a fan of blade coatings.

That looks great. I stripped an Ontario sp-8 last year and it didn't come out nearly that good. I'll have to give that a shot.
That really is a good looking blade. I like it much better stripped.

Those Taz Rats are fairly clean underneath it all.

I was shocked at how well it looked after 10 minutes of polishing

Thanks for all the kind words

Differential Heat Treat:thumbup:
I scuffed my black coating up this morning,
Glad to see they are pretty clean under there!

I should have taken a photo of it before I polished it up

Differental Heat Treatment for sure

Hamon still visable

That looks awesome! Might have to strip the old RMD I have one day.
