You guys have never made a “how to” video like this before, and I gotta say that you knocked it outta the park! Also I wanna see the shakeyhands knife collection.

They did one other with a para 3 where they rit dyed scales and darkened the blade w/ apple cider vinegar but it was much more free form and less scripted but i get what you're saying.

@@BladeHQ could i replace the 9 volt batteries with a car battery charger?

I was already pretty familiar with anodizing, but this is by far the most straight forward and beginner friendly video I've seen on it using regular household supplies. Great job.

Serializing up to the voltage you need by simply clicking 9V blocks together is brilliant!

I was working for an electrical contractor 15 years ago and I worked the service side. Every year around Halloween we would go into all the apartments we were responsible for servicing and replace the 9V batteries. At the end of it all we would series up the batteries. FYI the batteries start arcing through each other a little over 300 volts. The batteries will start to smoke when you close the circuit.

This is an amazing breath of fresh air, not that normal videos are getting stale or anything. The cool factor of learning is what stands out to me

I've searched for videos on titanium anodization many times but never found a good one. You guys delivered! Thank you!!

I really appreciate you showing what common mistakes are and the results of them! So many how-to videos only show a perfect run.

I've said it before, but this is the content. You guys rock.

how do we do it with stainless steel?

@Reploidx9

@@mediarare1014 Doubt you'd be able to because of stainless' ability to prevent oxidisation, which is what's needed in this process. You could pull it off with Aluminium as well as Titanium from doing a search, but Stainless Steel, or even Carbon Steel don't agree with the process and won't come out like above.

Does the wire have to be titanium..?

I'm super excited for the new series! I've been interested in customizing my knives, but wasn't knowledgeable about it and didn't want to ruin an expensive knife. Thanks guys!

A very well made video and the fact you took the time to show other colors and how many batteries needed is top notch. Well done boys.

Its interesting how Zac can make anything look amazing and not boring, i tried to watch some of these kind of tutorials on KZread before and i never watched them all the way thru but this one i did so i think Zac is doing something right.

I loved this video! Not only was it simple to understand and follow along, but it also showed me everything I needed to know about the other aspects of the topic as well! Can't wait to see the next one!

This is perfect, absolute home run with this little DIY anodization video guys!

This is an awesome how to video!! Can’t wait to try this. Looking forward to more “how to videos!!” This channel rocks!! And I have to mention, since recently finding this channel and awesome site you have transformed my blade addiction from a campfire to an all out wildfire!! Thank you!

Definitely gonna try this out I've been flaming my Ti and can get pretty consistent results but theres always dark and light spots this method looks awesome for a nice perfect finish

That was amazing I had no idea how easy it would be, Thank You for sharing.

Absolutely LOVE this new series. You guys should do blade stone washing next, I've been looking for the best way to do it at home for a while now! Keep it up!!

This is a great way to kick off this new series. I didn’t think it was difficult to anodize titanium. I’ve got a butterfly knife with titanium handles that will be getting a new look! Keep them coming!!!

Just tried it with my Kizer Kala and Spydiechef and it worked great! Makes them both look so much better. Thanks for the how to video and keep them coming please.

Cool series! I just happen to be carrying my BHQ D2 CF Pilar today. I like that you kept it simple, but using etch (multi etch works best) and a power supply is a big step-up and isn't too expensive. Also, I find that having multiple points of contact with the part helps a lot... My favorite project so far is a Kizer Feist with blue scales and pink clip and back spacer

Wow, I had no idea it was that easy! I'm so incredibly excited to try this!

The most useful and easy to follow tutorial among all. Thanks !

I just anodized a suppressor doing this technique! Thanks for the great video. Mine came out excellent

Blade HQ couldn't have timed this video more perfect for me. My spydie chef just arrived in the mail and I want to anodize the titanium scales! Thanks again for the awesome content blade HQ!!

This was pretty cool. I have seen tutorials on anodizing before but its rad that BladeHQ is doing these sort of videos now.

I had a question but it was asked and answered leaving me only with this... That was an awesome video with excellent content. Thank you very much for making this video and bringing this information to my attention.

Love the concept for the series. This first video was very informative and going to be a science project in my near future.

I can't believe how easy that was. Tried tonight 1st with a few batteries, then switched to a dc power supply I had. Results were awesome, thank you!

That was wicked! Clear, concise and easy to follow. Killed it.

I have all titanium backpacking cookware and gear, now you got me thinking on what crazy stuff I could do to them.

I actually anodized the pivot collars on my Varga VBR-S. Quite easy to do and the Blade HQ blue turned out amazing!! 👍

Love to see more things like this really cool to customize your knife a bit more personalized

Three cheers for a new series

Loved this video. Stuck in a blizzard so i tried this on my GM Biblio. Turned out awesome with 2 colors!

Not many videos actually say how to remove anodizing so that in of itself is amazing. Kudos on your first how to video being a grand slam.

Just anodized my Spydiechef to a 27 volt blue with this video. It looks awesome! Thanks guys!

The video is excellent and the idea of a "how to" series really appeals to me. I'm looking forward to the next exciting episode!

I did this to the latch on my channel alpha beast and it turned out awesome! Great video.

Amazingly simple. Thanks so much.

Great vid. Love customization ‘how to’ vids. Pls keep them coming.

Awesome video! I hope to see more like this in the future. I’m stoked to try it!

Love these “how to knife” clips. You should do one on hydro dipping

Awesome vid Zac, thanks alot!

Great video, guys. Thank you!

Good stuff! Don;t forget to make sure all lockbars and such are either removed or covered (clear nailpolish works great) cause if you have anything more conductive, it'll bypass the titanium. For higher voltage colors, also try and do both scales at the same time so they match, it never works QUITE the same twice

totally awesome video. Need a while series like these

Very informative. Thanks.

Love these keep them coming recently started making knives got tired of spending all my money with blade hq ◉‿◉

I’m going to try this on a pocket clip or spacer. Just need to buy a titanium one! Keep up the good work. This was a fun change of pace.

Thanks. Lovee BladeHQ so much

Just tried, worked pretty well. Not quite the vibrant color I was expecting, but more than I thought a fist full of batteries and some baking soda would get me before this video. Thanks guys.
