Can O1 shine?

[Cadillac86]

What I mean is, Part of me wants to play around with making one of my JK's shiny just to see how it would look. Does it shine up alright or is it one of those, it just isn't shiny?

I'm thinking if you kept going finer and finer sandpaper it might shine up a bit.

I think I might try it, just for fun. I've been thinking about trying to stonewash a blade too, but I'm going to do that with my cold steel knife haha

Send me an email, I might have an idea.

If I can polish and full height convex a Becker BK2, I can polish a JK Mini Belt Canadian. Expect pics of a mirror or near mirror polished JK by the end of next week.

Hand sanding is fun!

Down a can of spinach like Popeye and have at it, O1 will definitely shine to a mirror polish.

If you really want to see a JK shine though....





































just use it.

In use is where a JK really shines.

Okay, all kidding aside, I'd really like to see one with a mirror polish too, but dang that'll take a lot of sanding.

I am down to 600 grit on one side and 320 on the other. It took a bit to get the initial grind marks off, but after those it starts to get a bit easier, not easy, but easier...

Lol, soon enough.

 

[mykel m]

Getting the grind marks out is half the battle, have fun Bill.

 

[NJBillK]

Fun yeah, thats it, Fun...

Lol

Mykel, I am digging the orange liners on The Tool, how thick are they?

Cadillac, any progress on your end? I know you received a tip or two from John... lol

 

[Cadillac86]

Not yet. I have something planned though and am working on getting a stonewash down as well.

[NJBillK]

Nah, rough week involving an emergency dental visit... I should have photos up this week.

 

[B JACKSON]
