The REK Sparrow front flipper thread

Can’t wait to see the final product man!

Got the scales rounded out... Still have to texture one. But on this specific build I'm leaving them radius'd. I did have to figure out how to hand chamfer the slot though, that was fun

 

[REK Knives]

Thoughts on the scale finish for the one above? Should I keep them simple so as to highlight the Damacore? blasted like a sebenza?

I say bead blast.

 

[badmatt]

dirty mirror polish and then 240grit glass at 15 psi.

 

[Murphjd25]

I say bead blast like a seb. That is going to be slick Josh especially if you polish that damasteel up real sweeeeeet.

 

[DocJekl]

Zirblast and anodized to the customer's choice? Or anything that wont snail-trail as badly as a Sebenza or iMamba...

 

[REK Knives]

What do you guys think color wise... Or just a muted gray blasted finish with a light tumble?



The bronze one is what I'm leaning toward... Here's how it looks with some handling

 

[Murphjd25]

I’m digging the bronze one too Josh.

 

[Contender Machine]

I agree the bronze is sweet

 

[badmatt]

Bronze for sure.

Let me know when you need me to send CC info.

Well, I'm digging the purple

 

[Blues]

The first two are my cup of tea. I'd have a hard time choosing.

Blade work today and tomorrow. Grinds are done just have to mirror now which takes quite a while!

Someone is gonna be luuuuuucky!!!

How do you get those to pop so good Josh? Do you mirror finish them first, then etch them?

Yes exactly

This one isn't fully mirrored yet... Taken to 3k grit at this stage

 

[REK Knives]

Mirroring is done!

 

[gunslinger387]

WOW!!! If you don’t mind me asking what is the final grit or polish?
