For week 39 Erik and I were busy anodizing lots of knives, experimenting with new colors and with the Multi-Etch chemical. At the 8:00 minute mark I show how I used a propane blowtorch to heat anodize a set of handles, you can get some REALLY cool colors and patterns with this method. At 14:28 we do a nice long segment on using our 6" 3M Scotchbrite wheel that we purchased from www.knifemaking.com, it's awesome! This thing deburrs everything and smooths and polishes titanium and blade steel like no other. It leaves an amazing surface finish and smooths out all the milling marks. It's a huge asset to our shop. Erik even goes into detail about how to get a sweet "orange peel" surface finish, which happens when the titanium gets a little hot and starts to smear, when done properly it looks very tasty. 22:13 is where Erik goes into detail about using our Wicked Edge knife sharpening system. It's a very sweet system that comes with many different stones and allows you to upgrade to very very high grit stones and leather strops with diamond lapping compound. With some practice you can achieve mirror polished edges with perfectly flat bevels. We love the wicked edge, but it is very time consuming. At 37:20 I show and describe how I am making custom stop pins to fix a few knives that lock up way too far, I goofed up on a few of them so this is a great way to save them. I was able to use my Tormach mill set up as a lathe to make them out of 17-4PH stainless steel, really good ...
