April 7, 201016 yr Author 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.
April 7, 201016 yr 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.
April 12, 201016 yr Author Very nice knife! Where do you get your 1080 material? I got the 1080 from Alpha Knife Supply
