2 WAYS TO PUT AN ORANGE PEEL TEXTURE ON TITANIUM / DIY

[@jeremynedrow7003]

Thank you for showing me how to do this I've been curious about it.

[@bubba92473]

Whoa this is an intriguing process Mr Stassa thanks so much.

[@christopherneelyakagoattmo6078]

Interesting stuff, my Man. You sure have come a long way. I started following you around Blade Show 2017. You were somewhere around 3,000 subscribers. I can see that your passion for knife therapy has not dulled over time.. I remember your coverage of that show being the best on KZbin. You were casual, yet enthusiastic, and asked all the questions that everyone who's a knife fan wants to know. Every time I get one of your notifications, it's like a shout out text from an old friend. Rock on, Brother. Peace.

[@Stassa23]

Thanks that really means a lot and I appreciate your support. That was one of my favorite Blade shows and that gave my channel a lot of exposure because that year it took a lot of them a while to post their videos so mine popped up first Well I hope your having a great day talk to you later

[@strawman817]

Didn't even think I could do something like this. Thank you!

[@brandonshehan699]

So glad your doing some mod vids. Tks brother!!!

[@haveagocommentator983]

I love these videos

[@nylxchan88]

Awesome tutorial! I definitely would like to see and learn more.

[@jfriedman5274]

I always enjoy seeing others share their tips and or tricks of the trade I've only done orange peel and heat ano and other physical chop mods but I enjoy it all I've worked with my hands all my life... Thanks for the content bud by all means keep it coming! I've got a very inspired idea for my nymble x when it comes in I told richie and lyndy I'm sending it to them cause theres a couple things I want them to do that I'm not set up for...

[@burgknife758]

Cool ive had one of those scotch brite wheels for a while not .now i have a reason to try it out .

[@willblake72]

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@TopDog8762]

That was interesting, thanks for the video.

[@DullPoints]

That's awesome! I really appreciate the in depth info.

[@terryfarmer170]

A very helpful video great content luv to see more thanks for the content keep it up 👍

[@satudave]

Always enjoy your how to’s. Much appreciated 🤘🤘

[@stickyedge7113]

I've been putting off trying this on a kizer t1, it's slick so this would be great. Keep the how to vids coming. Great stuff man👍

[@StevEDC_UK]

I may have to do this on my kansept kryo

[@mikecurtis2585]

Very nice fun to watch! Thanks 🙂🙏

[@timbo4374]

Thanks for doing this vid! Very interesting!!!

[@jeremiahmoses1987]

WOW! I had know idea that's all it took.

[@chrisoliver1327]

Very 🆒

[@STUFFWEDO]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@randyf.9188]

Interesting, thanks!

[@Canadaman4403]

I’d love to see some anodizing on the titanium

[@Bear-nu8xm]

Very cool tutorial! I like the Scotch Brite finish better. I only have a Dremel however, I can use a larger wheel at work.

[@Stassa23]

I would definitely recommend using a larger wheel because a dremel takes a long time

[@Bear-nu8xm]

@@Stassa23 Thanks Stassa! Love your videos! Thanks for advice

[@willb7713]

Hmmm. I might want to try this on my Flytanium scales. I need a little more texture when I'm working.

[@drinkwater1915]

Does this add any grippyness? I want to texture some smooth scales I have.

[@willblake72]

Cool video. How would you do this on a scale without also peeling the skin off of your fingers?

[@Stassa23]

You just do one half at a time then flip it all the way around and do the other half. I should have did it on one of my knives but I ran into so many issues with finding all my stuff for the bench top buffer that I didn’t want to waste any more time. That said you would do it just like I was doing it but go all the way to the middle of the scale. You can also screw the scales down to a block of wood then do it, that’s what I do on small skinny knives and that’s usually what I do when I am buffing scales 👍

[@willblake72]

@@Stassa23 Ah, screwing it down to a block makes sense. Excellent. This looks like a mod I can do, I've already got everything I need. Thanks for sharing!

[@Stassa23]

@@willblake72 awesome let me know how It turns out 👌

[@Xtafa]

Can i do this with aluminum too or will it be too course/remove too much?

[@kevinmain9882]

Great video does the texture give you better grip?

[@Stassa23]

It offers a little however if you media blast it is

[@Stassa23]

Then it adds much more texture

[@kevinmain9882]

Thank you for answering my questions

[@brandonshehan699]

I have a question about a chop knife. Do you think thewhole blade is harden steel like the edge on an esee avispa. I have chopped it down but now there is a spot in the new part of the belly that I can't sharpen like the rest of the edge. I can't seem to get it to apex like the rest. Any advice would be awesome tks.

[@Stassa23]

It’s all hardened but you probably just have a thicker spot there since you did the chop which would take a much steeper edge angle in order to reach the actual apex like the rest. When you did the chop did you bring the spine of the knife down to the edge or did you have to chop it into the apex?

[@brandonshehan699]

@@Stassa23 I turned in into a spear point. I brought the spine down about 1/2 way and then I brought the edge up to meet it. I tried my best to thin out the tip like it was originally but it wasn't anywhere as nice as it was from factory. I think your right because my bevel at the tip is wider than the rest of the edge. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction buddy. So glad your showing us some mod vids. Thanks brother.

[@stevenlachance8576]

You mentioned electroanodizing after this, do you wink it before and does it work well? I like these videos for the record.

[@Stassa23]

I’ve only done low voltage electro ano but I don’t etch because your removing the oxide layer when you orange peel them so I just clean them with rubbing alcohol after doing the texture. I also don’t use wink anymore just multietch because it works so much better you get much better color 👌

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Try a steel wire wheel. Tougher and faster than brass. ✌

[@StevEDC_UK]

Any link for the dremmel attachment?

[@Stassa23]

It will take a good while to do with the dremel but it can be done 👌

[@StevEDC_UK]

@@Stassa23 unfortunately that's all I have ATM,skint myself out on the ken onion sharpening system lol

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

I just removed the orange peel finish from my Advocate. I understand why people like it, but it's definitely not for me. For the record, to anyone hesitant to try it, applying is easier than removing!

[@Stassa23]

Yep I’ve removed several orange peel finishes and depending on how you do it can be time consuming

[@molon_labe_nc9390]

I've been wanting to try this on my kizer roach but I've been to 🐔💩🤣🤣

[@Stassa23]

That’s why I bought a couple of cheap cheap titanium Framelocks off of either eBay or Amazon to practice on. I think the first knife I tried it on was Eafengrow titanium Framelock that someone sent me and I used that as my practice piece for all the mods I learned how to do so let’s just say it no longer looks like the same knife what so ever

[@megatrolltrollington]

not really "deforming molecules" more like removing them from the work piece.

[@Stassa23]

When I rewatched the video I noticed that I said that and I had just read about what was actually happening but thanks MegaTroll

[@megatrolltrollington]

@@Stassa23 lol yeah when you first said it, I was like eh I know what he meant, but then you kinda went into an explanation, and I was like oh heh heh, I gotta troll him now 😏.
