Tactical Wapi / Coyote G10 Scales

This one is for Sly712 . Being in the army reserves his request was for a darkened blade & pins, textured scales & low reflectiveness.
"This man knows the value of not being seen" :p Couldn't resist the Monty Python reference.

The blade was taken to a satin brushed finish, blued & given one coat of ferric chloride. The FeCl was neutralised then a light polish & onto the scales.

Big ups to the guys that use G10 because its not real friendly to work with & hard on tools. On the plus side its just about bombproof & perfect for this application.
Scales were only sanded on the bevels up to 360 grit to keep the grip secure & the glint low.
Fitted with brass thrust washers , black acrylic wedge & the pins & washers got a drop of gun blue for good measure :)

Fantastic job there Oz. I love the blued blade. It looks like you put a lot of work into that one and it's payed off.

Thanx G & thanx Max & all the SRP G10 pioneers :tu

It's great to learn from others mistakes....er experiences :p

I almost tried with my toy bandsaw but thought it would die of fright :eek:so opted for the dremel & cutoff wheel option. The red hot shrapnel from exploding cutoff wheels is a lot more fun :D
