nice. I was thinking about stripping my 9 over the weekend. What else are u doing to them?
 
Phase two complete for the 11/14. Still not sure what is going to happen with the 9. These two little ones are my practice run for it.

Now the 11 gets a leather wrapped handle and the 14 gets micarta. Pics to follow
 
I do. I like the 14 a little better, I think. I am still going over it with the bluing and I am going to put some of the rust prevention stuff on the handles. I think they will look great with just a little more work and when I finish the handles. I think I might do the 9 the same way I did the 14
 
those look fantastic! Are you just following the instructions for the perma blue? Or are you doing something different?

Awesome job so far, I really like the jimping on the 11! Did you use the bleach for the patina?

thanks! I forgot I never posted that. That was my first attempt at jimping. It came out ok, a little un-even but it works pretty good.
 
Dremel then file. I will take better pics of that part soon. Go slow with the dremel!
 
what was your technique in applying the blue to get that pattern? looks awesome and i would like to attempt this myself
