It's been a while since I came out to play with you guys... Well I ended up with another Shaman in trade. It had a blunted tip, scratched blade finish, missing clip screw, and another clip screw that was stuck halfway and wouldn't thread into or out of the liner! Well I got that screw out with my trusty multitool, called Spyderco to request new screws, and learned the guy who sent it to me would also send me a deep carry clip for it (once he learned I was able to remove the factory clip), so then this happened:

Posting as thumbnails because a lot of pictures are used to get the point across.

Decided to attempt a "ghost anodization" on my Small Sebenza 21. Here it is completely unmodified:

Here it is after my anodization, pictures unedited (save for compression to upload here), in natural lighting only:

Note that, at some angles, it looks like a normal Sebenza, but in others, it reflects a golden color.

Here it is again, but in artificial lighting only. Unedited, except for file compression:

Note again, looks like a normal bead blast finish at some angles, and glows gold in others.

I'm happy with how it turned out! The effect is more profound in natural lighting, but it works well in other lighting as well.
