Thread: What product for the tang colour?

I have used the Brownell's on Guns, and they make very fine products, I would bet it is fine for razors too

Even Hoppes works. I had an over 20 year old bottle left over from tinkering with guns that did a good job on a Wapi for an experiment. Two or three applications gave the result I wanted.

Sounds like you got the bluing all covered there Jamie but if you want a black effect you can use oxalic acid. It's dangerous & etches into the steel rather than coating it but it is a slight colour difference.

The Beau Brummel's looking good, I think some of these anodizing colours look amazing and maybe something that could enhance and add a lovely splash of colour to an other wise plain boring tang.

The upside with blues or oxalic is you can touch it up if needed. Anodizing , not so easy.
