My girlfriend is away for work all weekend, so what better time could there possibly be to experience my first stripper! Where oh where is that mistress I adore? Oh mistress?!? One last glamour picture seemed appropriate, so we slaughtered a pesky thorny thing in the yard (this IS Arizona after all), and she graciously posed with the carnage...

I followed the usual recommended protocol.... properly lubricate mental faculties with craft beer, don protective items of latex and polycarbonate, etch the logo with Ferric Chloride (PCB etchant from Radio Shack), slather the coating with Klean Strip, scrape and brush a little while rinsing with water... all the while expecting to post up "just another stripper" thread.


But No! Crazy little minx had something mysterious hidden beneath that skimpy ensemble....

What Does it Mean!!!

Secret Ganzaaa message for Friday the 13th?!?
Jedi Hog code for F5ing faster than light speed?!?
Runes from ancient High Elves that once inhabited Ohio?!?
The blade ran amok in the shop, and could only be tamed with a die grinder?!?
The craft beer is much to weak (although delicious), and I should switch to Whisky?!?
 
Seriously though... any of you Hogs with more experience in The Way of Strippers care to help enlighten this little (Mad) piglet? It looks like squiggly die grinder marks to give the coating more tooth for adhesion, or what? I did sand the de-carb off one side, and the marks are deep enough to not give up without an air-drop from Scotland (more Whisky)! It actually looks kinda cool, and since this is a project knife, I will probably learn to embrace my mistress in her new nekid glory, tramp stamp and all :D
 
surely you've heard of MO (Military Overrun) Hinderers, right? This is a UO (UFO Overrun). They ship them to Area 51 sometimes. But when there's a few left over, they coat them to hide the alien glyphs, then sell them to the unsuspecting public.

Alternatively, it could be from that night when the whole crew was engaging in a drunken game of "toss the die grinder", and it just happened to land on your blade,
 
That was just to mark the 10 lucky knives which have 2oz gold hidden underneath their scales.
 
I just uploaded the scribble into Google translate.
It turned out its Oompa Loompa and reads as follows:
“Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this Golden Ticket, from Mr. Busse! I shake you warmly by the hand! Tremendous things are in store for you! Many wonderful surprises await you*… mystic and marvelous surprises that will entrance, delight, intrigue, astonish, and perplex you beyond measure. In your wildest dreams, you could not imagine that such things could happen to you! Just wait and see!”
 
Fascinating! I hear many strippers have tattoos lately, though most are tramp stamps... :p
 
My FBM had scribed batch numbers on the tang.

Looks like someone at Busse was well ahead on the drinks when they wrote on the billet. LOL
 
That is clearly a doctor's handwriting so I'm guessing that its a prescription for some kind of booze. Just don't show it to the store clerk when you go to pick it up.
 
You need to be hammered to read so I'll decipher it for you...
It says need more Cabo Wabo Silver and the next offering will be the BATAC III.

Nice blade gotta love raw infi
 
Good thoughts, keep them coming until someone from the shop chimes in!

I think the key to deciphering these Ohio-glyphics is definitely alcohol... as much as I wish Jens has the answer with the golden ticket bit, the only precious metal involved here is INFI! So I made the switch to this....

But no help.... Garth.... there's more where this came from.... throw us a bone?!?
Both sides with the de-carb removed...

Best guess is still drunken die grinder shenanigans.... sounds fun!
