Sorry if this is the incorrect board to post this is in, but does anyone know what's it called when blades are colored this way?
>>29206290
Gay?
Disgusting, Mall ninja, Cringe, fade
a toy
Those colors, they don't give you any tactical advantage unless you plan to auction it off as a collectors piece
>>29206290
Actually curious about this too, is it a type of paint or finish
anodization. basically they electrify the metal with different wattage and it comes out different colors. this is something you can actually do at home if you're safe about it.
>>29206290
These knives are worth more or CS:GO than in real life.
titanium rainbow
>>29206313
Rainbow
Anodization, though.
I like acid wash blades, but I guess that's still kinda gay. Damascus is too odd looking for me.
I think the green zombie ones are even gayer.
They're all gay, though.
Just plain fucking steel.

Only aluminum can be anodized.
>>29206290
Steel treated with a chemical to make it like that. Its gay.

>this is something you can actually do at home if you're safe about it.
Suggesting a /k/ommando wouldn't just stick the blade in an electrical socket.

>tactical advantage
What are you planning on doing Rambo, assaulting the neighbors cat?
>>29206331
This or "oil slick"
You can get blued case hardening by using bone though if you want something that isn't gay.

It's a (slightly altered) quote from Metal Gear Solid 3. Big boss commented on how useless aesthetic modifications are

The rainbow shit is from tempering.
>>29206687
>>29206644
That is from tempering
>>29206290
this is from chemical treatment and vicious homosexual anal reaming
>>29206713
Here's a more tasteful example of case color hardening.
If the fags in this thread can't comprehend why this is better than the oil slick rainbow finishes, which have their place i guess, then I'm not going to try convincing them.

The problem is the oxidation rubs off really easily. It's not going to last on anything you actually want to use.
>>29206413
>only aluminum
yeah, no.
you can anodize a lot of different metals with a car battery, a stencil, and paper towel soaked in diet coke

The word that comes to mind is "Iridescent."

Damascus is beautiful. Pattern folded steel is just lazy and tacky
