Stonewashed Gerber Shard...

I just love this tool. There aren't that many tools out there that are this small, sturdy and inexpensive that has a Philipps along with a decent selection of other tools.
Loved this tool so much that I tried to stonewash it in my tumbler. The finish isn't as coarse as I like, but I'm still happy with the results.

Looks fanstastic mate,

Have you got pics of anything else you've stonewashed?

Nice Job!

I could send 'Arty' for a short holiday and you could take him for a spin

Thanks for the offer but I guess it will say at home on my keyring

Stone washing does make things look classy!

I followed your idea folks, only mine is more like a brushed finish. We have some sanding paper here at the house that is on a foam block (you buy it like that) and it hugs contours and stuff real good. I attacked every part of the Artifact and I must say it's much more of a handsome tool when its like this rather than tactical black. I added some polishing agent to it to shine it some and now it's riding in my pocket more than ever. Thanks guys.
