Ok so I finally got my GB reground (again) and cerakoted in a scheme that looks halfway decent (although I’m not fully satisfied – I was rushed on the knife painting process). I also fixed the cut-out for the liner lock to be more ergonomic yet not weak. I painted everything black except for the blade which was black overlayed with titanium. I also rounded my pocket clip which makes it much more comfortable!

and here is my first pistol that I have done with a stencil (I am still working through the stenciling process to make it more streamlined – right now it is a PAIN).

Really nice. It reminds me a bit of the paintwork of our Swedish friend whom I haven’t seen for a while. (And whose name I forgot – anyone?)

Cerakote, when properly applied, is around .001″ thick (1 mil, or 25 microns)
