Can CRK polish the hollow grinds on a stonewashed blade if I sent it in?

Only they can tell you for sure, but my guess is that you will have to buy a new polished blade.
 
No, they won't do it. You can have the condition of the knife and parts returned to what they were originally but not changed. The "polished" blade is a belt finish satin and would have to be done by re-grininding the blade, It's not a buffed or hand polish finish. :)
 
Thanks for clearing that up haze, I thought they might not alter the original factory specs the knife came with.
 
Hey, there is a guy around here that can tell you how to make the blade all kinds of shiny, and if you talk nice, you might learn how to put a bunch of crappy looking divots in the scales with a drill press, and run a torch over it. All internal weight saving modifications are super duper secret though, you are on your own for those.
:D

If there is any controversy I'd wish to have resurrected, this is it. In the dry world of discussing pocket knives, the issue being referred to was juicy.

I wasn't privy to that one... What happened?

A member with a heavily modded CRK stated that he had lightened the knife by milling a honey-comb pattern into the back of the slabs, but refused to provide any pictures, perhaps due to it being some sort of proprietary process, or just to annoy the curious. Some folk called B.S. on the mod, which greatly angered the OP. Anyways it descended into chaos and the Super Mods stepped in to moderate. The thread was deleted, and what it looked like will never be known, though I still wonder about it when I take my knives apart.

Anyways....that's how I remember it

Haha, thanks for telling me.

That's very mysterious... Too bad the thread was deleted, that sounds like an interesting read.

The thread was just locked and it's all still there if anyone really want's to throw away some perfectly useable time reading it. :)

He also posted a picture of the same knife some weeks later showing clearly that there was nothing more than 2 or 3 dimples in seemingly random places on the inside of the presentation slab. You could see this through the lock bar cut out in one particular picture, he has never actually shown a photo of the inside because he didn't actually do what he had claimed to.....but we already knew that.

Hmmm, let's just say that I hypothetically wasted perfectly usable time... And I hypothetically want it back. [emoji4]
