Anodized Titanium

Vespa Neon

The way I got it

First step of anodizing, sorry for the blurry pic

 Before stonewashing

Malyshev Gnome


Vanilla

Feeling blue

Stonewashed

 

Colorful clip

Apocalyptic with thinned out leaf blade

 

...and added oping nicks

TiLock 

Made in China - same original as the "gold bar" but very well made nonetheless (and without false markings)

All you need to anodize titanium (for green you'd need 10 to 13 pieces of 9V batteries though)

I had to file in a step at the backside of the clip to prevent it slipping out of my pocket

So I've lost the clip on job while playing with the knife on job. Had to make another one. Next step, anodizing.

unfinished business...

Sanrenmu Land 910+ carbon fiber

Perfect balance...

...at 96 grams (instead of 135g)

 

Interior

After a while I've sanded off the top layer to get a thinner handle with the more traditional pattern.

I've ordered another 9104  to install the scale and maybe the clip, pics will follow soon.

Y - START LK5013D coppered blade rosewood handle

After etching with ferric chloride which was used to etch copper before the dark areas were plated with copper

I didn't axpect that and even after polishing the copper seems to be very stable

Maybe after a while it will turn dark but for the moment it's looking very interesting eveb though it's a way more subtle effect than the usual black and white damascus pattern

 How about rosewood scales? Or better Tartan Micarta?

Rosewood it was...
