Can you give us a hint as to what kind of finish you are shooting for? Satin, Mirror, etc. ?

I want matte finish on titanium scales for my folders.
It would be ice if I could use the same media for stone washed look for folder blades too.

Let me say up front that I haven't tried this yet, but I believe if you use ordinary beach sand, blasting sand or sand box sand (yea the stuff they sell at Homedepot or you bring home from the beach in your shorts) it should give you the results you want. I suggest you try it on a piece of scrap Titanium. It certainly won't cost you much but your time to test it out.

I tried bead blasting Titanium a while back ,not only does it look nice but you get a nice light show while you are working with it.
