Bony Boys - 4 Aptas for the COD Crew

knives anodizing etching titanium knife

This was a request for four matching Rough Ryder Apta slipjoint knives. The design was based on designs the team uses for their chat and social backgrounds. These came out absolutely amazing. I am very proud of the blade etches, which are so clean and retained that mirror polish I applied before the etch. I did anodizing, masking, etching, re-anodizing, brushwork, wire brushwork, more brushwork… These were intricate. But the results speak for themselves. 10/10 - would do again! (This project also features a behind-the-scenes video where I explain the process. Enjoy!)
