pic one, virgin basic 11, tanker gray, a great finish!

last pic is a spine shot before cleaning the blade with some unleaded gasoline. i beat it hard with a log baton. i didn't get a chance to shoot a pic after the blade was cleaned but it look as new even after splitting a couple of loads of kindling.

one awesome blade for sure!! :thumbup: :cool:

Great pics Skunker, thanks for sharing!!! Does unleaded gasoline have much of an effect on either the blade finish or the res-c handles?

That's really surprising, I thought gas might strip the coating.


Great pics by the way :thumbup:
 
Thanks for sharing. I am starting to wish I had one !:thumbup:

My B11 is also a tanker grey.

Nice.

As to using Gasoline to clean it, just hope you don't also use it for food prep!

My grandfather would always wash his hands in gasoline after working on equipment on his farm. The good old fashioned leaded kind!!!

And trimmed his nails with knives. First time I tried that I really regretted it!

He also worked at Boing when they used asbestos....and that sucked later in life for him.
