Progressions:-

Enhancement for a more secure left hand grip and slight lightening, waiting for polish then flame ano:

Checking how well mirror finish is getting along:

Found a few flaws, back to more polishing.......

After 20 hrs. since the last picture, still chasing for acceptable level of clarity within blade's mirror finish.

Decided on a little time out to get a little gratification from the titanium handle. After few hours of sand/mirror and using control flame, threw on the clip and handle slab.

These are with subdued indoor lightening:

Took close to 40 hrs. total on the sectional mirror'ed blade and around 8 on the Ti handle:

I used long life Krytox in the bearing area and action on this Domino is slicker than before!

On this uniquely mine Spyderco - project is done!
