I hated them SO much
It's not me doing the work... But I'm excited to see how this turns out.

Vinland Damasteel for the Spyderco.
I have a piece of Hugin Damacore on the way for the Sebenza and I grabbed a 9” piece of Dense Twist Damasteel to play with myself.

Oh and can't forget this bad boy.
On a side note... I now dislike high tension hacksaws.
Thanks! I'm excited to see how they turn out.

De-orange peel then blast and stonewash on a Spyderco Advocate for @Mako109

Dang man, that stonewash turned out real nice! I bet that orange peel was fun to remove, lol. When I was new here, I picked up a Factor Equipment Iconic Titanium Compact before I was aware that the design was stolen from the GiantMouse GM1 (booo).
Rather than throw it away, I figured it would be a good platform to try some mods with no worries of messing it up. Just removing the stupid, etched "F" off of the scales was a major pain in the butt!

Work in Progress on the DLT 4Max Scout. Bye bye billboard . I still have to do the other side, but it's time for supper so that'll be a project for tomorrow. The plan is to give it a stonewash to knock down the shine on the black finish as well, but that will have to wait until the wifey is not home because I'm still using a container to do that poor man's style shaking it by hand.

(Chip) works on the scales. I pulled out the scratched up pivot of my 0095 and sanded out as many scratches and dings as I could and buffed it to a 600 grit finish. A quick shout out to @Mako109 for the technique. Can’t do much for the faded black oxide, but I am happy with it and it looks much better now.

Those are gonna pop nicely on the blasted background, and the faded black oxide will help tie the blackwash blade in

Finished, for now. After being done I realized I wanted a little more aggressive of a stonewash, but that'll be a project for another day. For now I am happy enough with the results, which are much more my style than the original.
