Stainless Steel Spinning Top Blacked Out with a Satin Finish
Crafted in solid stainless steel the Kemner Design Two-Step is a precision made spinning top. The top features a bi-level taper design from the base to the stem which sports three distinct knurled rings. The two-step was crafted on a CNC lathe, followed by hand finishing and knurling of the stem on a manual lathe. The top then went through a chemical finishing process that gives it it's blacked out appearance appearance. The satin finish was obtained by gently applying steel wool to the blacked out surface. This is not a paint or a coating, it is a process similar to gun bluing. The spin surface is a precision Si3N4 ceramic bearing. While spin times will vary with practice and experience, the Two-Step has an average spin time of 4-6 minutes and during performance testing I was able to achieve an spin time of 9.25 minutes on its first spin. All Kemner Design tops are designed, crafted and finished in my shop. I personally test all of the tops for performance prior to shipping them to yo
