Alternatives to CRK spa treatment?

[worshipNtribute]

I got a small sebenza with wood inlays in a trade, and I was not planning on keeping it..more of a catch and release..but I fell in love with it the moment it arrived. I'm not sure if I can justify spending 65 dollars on a stonewash/polish + new thumb stud through CRK if they won't be able to stonewash/polish the handles due to the inlays, so I was wondering if I had any other options. I don't want to spend the money to get the blade back to new if the handles still look very used. It's just cosmetic wear, minor scratches and what not; the knife is amazing in every other aspect.


I'd like to pimp this one out, as its my first sebenza, or at least return it back to good/great condition. Also. Where do people get the lanyard pins? My lanyard simply goes through the hole.

Here is a picture of my new knife for anyone interested, its a beauty, imo

that's a classic sebbie, no lanyard pin in that one
as far as I know the wood inlay ones have polished handles (not sure about blade finish, it's either satin or stoewash)

the spa treatment is worth the price if you want it back new, otherwise just carry it the way it is and enjiy it, it's a great edc
you may even post or have it mover the the CRK section

It looks great just the way it is. If you get it restored you may hesitate to carry or use it. BTW, I think norcalblacktail might be able to help you or know where you can go. Heres a BF link.
