Oops. I'm repurposing this thread. so embarrased. :D

This thread is now about......


Touching up the finish on a Cryo!

I love my Cryo, but the edges of the flipper are a little sharp. I'd like to round them off a tad, but that would remove two strips of the finish, leaving bare stainless exposed underneath. Is there anything I could use to touch it up and have it look as though I'd never messed with it?

Not sure why you'd feel the Kershaw/ZT forum is an appropriate place for a thread about the 2013 CRKT lineup...
 
Yeah, I wasn't trying to. I had General and the Kershaw forum opened in two different tabs and clicked on the wrong one. My mistake.
 
Anyone? I'd really like to knock off these sharp edges on my Cryo's flipper without hurting the knife's looks.
 
I hope no one is holding my faux pas when creating this thread against me. I need to know a good method for retouching the Cryo.

I think it is more that on one can offer a finish that will match that of the Cryo.
 
I would just recommend a good stone-washing. Plus, I think it would look great.
 
The coating they apply isn't easily matched, it's a DLC style coating, pretty hard stuff that has to be applied all at once AFAIK. You might be able to fake it with a little duracoat of the right color but it's gonna show close up. My suggestion would be to either stone wash or just not worry about it.

Coatings are great... unless you want to modify the blade, then they magically turn into eyesores. The coating on my Manix 2 has been the only thing keeping me from seeking out an ffg regrind on it, and I know what you mean about sharp edges on the Cryo.
