black to grey, the good way.

[wiley sharp]

I've started getting my clips treated from black to grey, especially on my EDCs. the blacking just doesn't last long enough to accent the knife. I've started a buissness with all my Spyderco friends, after the first and worst scratch on the clip, I treat it for free. the entire prossess takes up to an hour for one clip, both sides, and the chemicals don't harm the steel, only the blacking. EXPENSIVE S**T!!!! they look great, and it lasts forever (go figure)...

Hey Wiley,

sry. all. there has been a misunderstanding w/ me and my parents, and they don't want me to have to worry about ruining someone elses
property by accident, so I'll reveal my secret.... for a really good greying, go to a hardware store and ask for &quot;strypeeze&quot; and steel wool or brillo pads. be sure to have an old tooth brush to help to. strypeeze is the cheapest best working chem that I have found, and other contemporary stripping chems don't work near as well. soak the clip in the strypeeze paste for an hour, then, for a grey clip, scrub in the stuff with steel wool/ tooth brush. wipe with a cloth and run under cool water for 15 minutes. then, stroke the clip with a dry peice of steel wool for about five minutes to really get it professional looking.


thanks, and sorry to you lotsablades, but i guess my parents are right.
