Hey Guys,

Does anybody know what the coating is on this knife blade and handguard.? some sort of spray coating.?

I am trying to replicate it on my knife but can not seem to find what I am looking for.

Cheers.



 
May not be a coating...could be the blade started out with a rougher finish (like bead-blast) which was ground smooth for the edge and sawback.

Oh right yeah I did not think about that is there any way of replicating this.? can it be added to a blade.? (Thanks for the reply)
 
KG Gun Kote is also an option instead of Cerakote. You could probably manage it at home...

Daniel Winkler use KG coatings on some of his blades.

Thanks mate I think that may well be what I am looking for. some of Winkler's knives have the exact finish I am looking for.
 
FWIW ... that color and finish can be achieved using sandblasting (same finish as a reeve knife), or you can do a quick dip in ferric chloride to etch the steel a bit too...both are much easier than cerakoting the blade.

Thanks mate after a bit more digging I think you are right I have read it was achieved with bead blasting, I just need to find a knife maker with a sandblaster who could do this preferably in the U.K. (Would you do it for me).?
