Bead-blasted titanium. How do I polish it?

[Joel Pirela]

Hi everybody!

I have a folder with a bead-blasted titanium, the I would like to make it looks like the decorated Sebenza.

Can anybody walk me thru the process...?

Thanx...

Joel, you may want to try asking Rick Schultz at Mission Knives: Since 99% of their product line is titanium, he should know something about polishing it...

You also may want to try Kit Carson, or Pat/Wes Crawford, they do some work with Titanium as well...

Hope this helps!

The best way I have seen is with a disk grinder. Use SC paper dry, Have a speed controller on the disk. Slow it way down.
Then just touch the side plates to the disk.
Works great. Use about a 240 grit..
