I did it the same way John said, but since I'm new at this I had to do it over and over, until the desired finish was achieved. I hand sand the flats up to 600 grit, and then I took the bevel up to the blue scotch brite belt. Just as you've noticed the scotch brite belt leaves a trail on the...

Yes, another Great knife! The guard looks sweet as hell, and that burl is beautiful! You did a great job with the hamon as well. Don

Now that's a Beautiful Knife! The San Mai pattern looks amazing, and that handle combination is perfect. I have a friend who wants a knife with a Mammoth kind of handle, but that stuff is expensive. Is it difficult to work with? Thanks, Don

That's the kind of info I was looking for. I completely hear you on the "remove all scratches" step. I learned that one the hard way on a knife was making, but ended up loosing out on. Now I'm very meticulous about scratch lines. I guess that's why I asked the question I asked. I just wanted...

I'm thinking about doing a Stone Washed finish on my 3rd knife, but before I do it, I have a question. Do you guys hand sand the bevel on your knife before etching? I hear some will take the bevel up to 400 grit before etching, and tumbling, but is it advisable to leave the bevel belt...

Very nice indeed! You did good whether or not it was your first or not, even dove tailed. Nice. Don

A very good blend of a more traditional, yet still modern fighter with the traditional Tanto. Very Well Done! Don

Looking good. It's tough working on something so small, isn't it? What's the handled knife in W2 compare to size wise? Maybe throw in something everyone could relate to, like a quarter. Don

Good Idea. The Zebra wood looks better than I had thought it would have. How'd the Wenge look? Looks like it's going to be another fine knife. Don

That is a thing of beauty! I love the San Mai blade, and the handle looks perfect as Justin pointed out. I'm going to have to find me some of that Walnut burl. I have tons of regular Walnut, but no burl. Thanks for sharing, Don

I like the Wenge, or the darker of the Koa's for that knife, but the Zebra wood will look great too. Looking good. I'm a sucker for anything Ironwood, it doesn't have to be burl either. Don

I like it. Very nicely done! I like most things Desert Ironwood. Don

Very Nice! Very Nicely done! Don

Very Nicely done! Don

Very nice work. That's a pretty serious grind from .300 down to .012, very well done. Don

Now that's truly a work of art! I love the level of attention to detail. The checkering or stippling strategically placed is genius. I'm not into inlays, and thing like that, but this knife is off the charts! What a wonderful collaboration. Each works' compliments the others perfectly. Don

That's a Great lookin knife! The Hamon looks awesome too! Don

That's some really cool stuff. Quite amazing! Don

Nice! I'm happy for you. I wish I could get a new grinder. It's hell working with a 1x30, and a 1x42. I learned today that I'm very limited with what I can do. I ended up killing a knife I've been working on. Don

I like them all! Very well done. Don
