overall length - 6"
blade - 2 9/16" tip to scales
scales - jade g10
steel - Alabama Damascus (contains 52100, 5160, 15n20 and 203e)
grind - hollow 8" wheel
liners & thumb stud - anodized & textured titanium
standoff & screws - anodized titanium

After I finish a knife I spray it with Rem Oil which is what caused the color variation in the scales. I started to add some thin spacers between the scales and liners to make the color more even but my son suggested I leave it since it sort of changes the look every time you spray it down.

Bearing pivot for a fast and smooth operation. Strong detent, strong secure lock up and zero blade play in any direction.

(sold) $285.00 + $10 shipping in the US, international extra. Paypal, money order and most other forms of payment.



Thanks for looking, Alan

This one did not sell the first time around so I re-anodized it to tone it down a bit.

I used to use rem-oil. I've since switched over to tuff-glide. You might want to check that out Alan. Not that it really matters...your actions have always been butter smooth. I just like the rust inhibitive properties of tuf-glide especially on damascus blades.

I use the rem oil as more of a wipe down because the spray makes it easy to apply all over. For the bearings I use Hoppe's Elite gun oil, works great! And of course I always add a coat of ren wax to the carbon blades.

Thanks guys,
Alan
 
#1 is amazing! The Damascus pattern is amazing, the file work exquisite. The scales look great with the blade.
#2 is a bit too busy for me, but still great looking.

Renaissance Wax.Its a wax that's you wipe on and it dries hard almost instantly.Excellent protectant for woods,ivories steel and just about anything.It repels moisture like a champ :)wax.jpg

From Wiki...

Renaissance Wax is a brand of microcrystalline wax polish that is widely encountered in antique restoration and museum curation. Although not appropriate for all materials, it is known to and used by almost every collection. It is also used as a primary finish for cabinetry and furniture. Renaissance wax is also used by reenactors of historic swordsmanship to protect armour and weapons. It is widely recognised that this substance is more protective and longer lasting than oil, especially for swords and helmets that are frequently touched by human hands.[1]

To quote a typical commercial supplier of conservation materials, it is used, to revive and protect valuable furniture, leather, paintings, metals, marble, onyx, ivory etc. Freshens colours and imparts a soft sheen.[2]

Wax coatings for conservation are most widely, and least controversially, applied to metals. This has several objectives: to produce a barrier that excludes moisture and oxygen from the metal surface, to ensure against further introduction of contaminating elements by handling, and to provide a protective layer over anti-corrosion undercoatings.

Waxes should not be applied to materials with deliberately loose or powdery surfaces.







Use:

The wax is evenly and lightly applied over the surface, then lightly buffed with a smooth lint-free cloth to give a sheen. Where the shape of the item requires, a brush may be used instead. It is also used in jewelry making to preserve the patina of the metal.

Obviously the application technique and tools must be appropriate to any specific needs of the item being treated.

Application over other coatings:

For retarding further red rot in leather bookbindings, it is common to first consolidate the leather by application of Klucel G or a similar material and then apply a protective coating of Renaissance Wax.

Renaissance Wax is also commonly used in the preservation of Bronze and Copper coins. The wax seals the coins and helps prevent deterioration from moisture and air exposure. It may also help prevent the onset of the chloride-related corrosion commonly called bronze disease, although it won't arrest this once started.

Conservation of metals may also involve theapplication of an undercoat such as Incralac followed by the application of Renaissance Wax
