Two antique daggers
Well, not REALLY antique, just made to look like it. These two little babies measure all of 6 3/4 and 7 1/2 inches, with 3 3/4 and 4 inch blades respectively. Perfect for slipping into a ladies' purse for that unpredictable blind date...
Forged from W1 with cocobolo grips. The "antiquing" is a mustard and bleach treatment. The sheaths got rubbed across my anvil to give them that worn look. Thanks for looking! __________________ Chris K. Two Mountains Forge Delta, BC, Canada www.twomountainsforge.com |

Ah, now there's an idea! I can see it now: silk, chiffon, ruffles, steel...

Can you possibly give me more info on your mustard and bleach antiquing treatment? Specifically the process and times etching with each. This look would be great for a Confederate bowie project I have in mind. Much thanks.

Tony
Ought to be able to find several "aging" processes using the "search" function. If not here then over on the Primal Fires forum. __________________ Carl Rechsteiner, Bladesmith Georgia Custom Knifemakers Guild, Charter Member Knifemakers Guild, voting member Registered Master Artist - GA Council for the Arts C Rex Custom Knives Blade Show Table 6-H |

Tony,
I learned this process from Jay Neilson. He uses any cheap mustard, dabs it on kind of blotchy so you get a random pattern and leaves it to dry. Then you heat up some bleach to just below boiling and immerse the blade in it for about ten minutes at a time. Repeat the process up to six times to get the amount of patina you are looking for. I find it works best on heat treated carbon steels, not so much on mild steels or annealed carbon steel. Don't know why... Between cycles, clean off the oxydation with triple - 0 steel wool. After your last cycle, clean with steel wool again, and be sure to soak in water with dish soap and baking soda to neutralize. Good luck! Chris __________________ Chris K.
