bg7m Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 That is sweet! Really nice. What did you use/do for the finish? Mitch Mitch, I finished the blade by hand rubbing to 600 grit paper. Guard hand rubbed to 800 grit then fine Scott bright pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tri Moon Forge Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 A very well put together piece, I like the finish you used very much I may have to "borrow" it on my worker pieces. Mirror polish looks nice but on something that going to see rugged use I like the smooth grain finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
