LOL Nope. Tanker til I...stop hoggin' Busse's, or Jerry nixes it.It's hammered silver for you Jaxx
The last Tanker blade I got my hands on had an odd color to it. Almost like some bronze had gotten in the mix.
Yeah. I worked out a trade and had two O2W Ratweilers to choose from. The Tanker one had a much better sharpening job done on it but it had that brownish color in it, and it wasn't evenly distributed. Kind of blotchy. My first instinct was to take it anyway and strip it but with the grinder marks that have been showing up on so many blades lately I decided to go with the other one that wore a black blade.Tanker is my #1 coating color. The hammered silver is nice, but thicker and glossy, sorta like the old Moss Green. I don't think it takes the place of the Tanker Gray though.
My NMFSH was that way. A brownish Tanker Gray. Was terrible.I stripped it...
I have no idea, just stirring the pot a bit.Used to be my favorite coating, luckily my tastes switched to the black coating. Is tanker really going away?
