  • Awesome! Did you hand sand down to a fine grit before polishing? What kind of compound did you use? Is the handle Micarta?

  • Thanks. Yes, I hand sand down to the fine grit, but I don't polish. If I need to get real shinny, I'll go up to 2000 grit sand paper. But I like satan finish, so I go up to about 220 grit. The handle is hand painted wood.

  • Cool. Did you use a disk grinder the whole time for your bevels or did you actually use a belt grinder at one point? BTW.. I love your strider knife on your website.

  • Your right.  I use only a grinder on my bevels. That's just my way. Some of my bevels can't be done with a belt sander.

  • *watches you use the grinder with no glasses* * that's imitatable!*

    3 hours later.....

    *at hospital getting shit picked out of my eyes*

  • Just did that for the cameras. I probably should because somebody will see me do that and immitate it, and that would be bad. Some kid... Chris
