Re: stonewashed my Pits
Nicely done Dirk! Like gbelleh, I'm also curious about which method you used?

Awesome job! Count me among the folks who'd love to know how you went about doing it so cleanly! Cheers, Radioactive :)

Re: stonewashed my Pits
Thanks for the great replies!
Sorry for the confusion , dit not know that pits had allso another meaning :D !
I am a knifemaker for 24 years now so I have two good tumblers ( Raytech) .
Did the stonewash with first coarse ceramic stones and fine resin pyramid shaped small media afterwards .
The stonewash is not too rough so it shows hardly any fingerprints.
Mike Read the designer of the Pits offers the same service on British Blades .
I would not be surprised if the next batch would have a stonewashed handle.
Will try to make a close up picture tomorrow!
kind regards,
dirk

Re: stonewashed my Pits
Hi Dirk, would your stonewashing process hide scratches etc on satin blades?
