"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Matthew 5:9" |
I was thinking of somehow removing blade coating (specifically BP coating) chemically. has anyone ever done this? i was thinking laquer thinner or aircraft paint remover. the blade would be detached from the knife, first, off course. i don't want to go through buffing it off and leaving buffing marks on the blade and having to worry about making that look neat. And shepherds we shall be, For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. | ||

I haven't found anything that will remove the coating yet. I have tried every stripper I could could find. Sandblasting would be your best bet. | |||

It's a PVD applied ceramic based coating. It's not coming off easily. That's why they switched from BT to BK & BP. You can send the knife in to BMK and pay for a blade swap. I think it's about 35.00 Scott Scott's Benchmade Gallery http://www.pbase.com/haveblue Always Updated KNIFE RIGHTS CORNERSTONE INDV CHARTER MEMBER | |||

Even with BK you can remove most but not all due to the way it's bonded to the steel. And it's a lot of work:  This example is after apx. 8 hours of hand sanding down to 1000 grit followed by metal polish. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

I thought BK1 was the current coating? I've tried to remove BK1 with more frustration that you could ever imagine. Are you saying BP1 is even TOUGHER? I tried to remove the damned coating for 3 days and was left with speckled blade. I want you to imagine me sitting their, slightly horrified, after trying to SAND the coating off without accomplishing much except a few scratches. That damned coating was just staring at me, practically laughing. I don't think there is anything short of sulfuric acid that will remove those damned things. | |||

320 grit sandpaper and travel up the grit afterwards. or use wirewheel on a grinder. ____________________________ Knock, knock. "Who's there?" "Me!" "Me? No way it's me. I'm right here!" My Benchmades (updated) Benchmades That Used To Be Mine... | |||
