Stonewashed Mcgizmos?

[crffish]

Does anyone have photos of stonewashed Mcgizmo lights? Maybe it isn't possible to do so, but I think it would really make it stand out even more. Thank you.

Stonewashing would be really nice, but the equipment costs money and the few people who do it charge an arm and a leg for it.

Chris ended up having Brad Southard, a custom knife maker stonewash his Haiku for him. Awesome would be an understatement on how it turned out! I'll PM him and maybe he will post a pic here.

Just sent Chris a PM. If your a USN member it is posted in the pimped knife forum.

It was requested that maybe some folks would like to see this. Recently done.

Second photo is with my light.

I just got my first McGizmo, (a Ti Haiku xpg) but after seeing the stonewashed finish, i think i need another!

Brad that is incredible! Absolutely gorgeous! Would it be possible to polish the flats like the bead blasted version has? Im very interested in having this done either way. Gonna shoot you a pm.

That finish looks indestructible. I don't think you could ever do something to it that would be noticeable.

I wish i had the resorces to build something so nice.

I was lucky enough to find someone to stonewash my Haiku. I will let them remain anonymous until I receive approval, but he did a fantastic job on the light!

I believe "he" already posted pics of your light!

The question is "would a hand & a foot be a more reasonable price"

Currently stone washing a SunDrop, five McG clips, a bunch of Spyderco clips, a 45mm Ti biner, Mac's vial, etc. Fifteen hours so far & the parts are starting to take on a nice burnish. Media is ultra fine ceramic so cycle times are longer but all the edges & features are as crisp as the day they were machined. Best guess is somewhere between 36 & 72 hours. Will post an image when done.

Looking forward to seeing the results. Would be interested if you offer this as a service.

Excellent. I'll have to take advantage of this at some point.
