Camera tip, most newer phone camera like to face focus over anything else in the frame. Try playing around with the front camera and see if it helps the auto focus if your face is not in the frame. Even a portion of your face can set the auto focus off. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to get a Roosevelt!
Question for you : have you noticed if the dimensions of any of the parts you have done this to changed after going through so many heat cycles? curious if this doing this to some knife scales would ruin their fit and action once reassembled. Anyway, cool video thanks for sharing
So thanks for this vid, you make it look simple. I tried with a satin finish titanium clip in WD40 several times, but all I got was a multicoloured splotchy finish. It’s neat but it ain’t black. Is the sand blast crucial here?
@@MrLito178 Thats not even remotely true... It can be specially heat treated to achieve ~40 HRC, but is generally 32-36 HRC. Since this is the exact _opposite_ of specialized heat treating, I'd assume it's at the very low end of the range but even that may be a bit generous. That's assuming it's 6Al-4V, which Im sure it is. The reason titanium hasn't traditionally been used for hardware in knives isn't so much about the hardness (6Al-4V is comparable in hardness to the 17-4PH used by Hinderer, and much harder than the 303 used by CRK), and much more about it propensity for galling.
That’s pretty neat, I never would have thought of that. That would take a hot minute to do all the screws!
Beats paying some random "custom shop" like $25 and an extra $10 for shipping both ways. Maybe, if you like a lot of hardware black. Lol.

Thanks! That makes sense!
Wont this weaken the metal, making it more brittle?
not really, as long as you finish on the heat itll be fine

How do you know the black color isn't just like suit from the torch? Is the black finish durable like ano?
Yes it is.@tillmerit8431
Amazing work 👏🏽 I have a question do you use w-D40 like the spray? Or w-D40 motor oil ?
The spray
Can't find WD40 as liquid, can find only sprays.... Can you help or guide ...
Just spray it into a glass lol
@@lilkevinthehizhouse5206 exactly. Some people need their hands held to the end.
Thank you for sharing the process. That silicone glove on your hand really bothered me the whole time I was watching🤣
Would this work for a titanium framelock knife scale?
Very helpful! Thanks man!

Yep sandblast is the key
Dude I've literally seen you say this exact same thing on 3 different channels lol
Pretty neat. How durable is that type of finish?
Decent. It will scratch just like a heavy sandblasted finish though
@@ozmachinecompany4564 Very interesting low tech process. Love it!
Thanks for this!
Where did you buy the screws at?
Ti Connector
Thank you bud .
Why is this age restricted?
Good question! 😆
Does it work on any kind of titanium? There are many types in the market 😔
I can’t answer that unfortunately. I use 6al4v exclusively
What a liquid sir
Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have some titanium knives that need help , lol
I've tried so many times to do this but I suck 🤣
RIP to those threads
Titanium is on of the hardest metals so nothing will happen to the threads
