Custom shop brass + G10

[ilvexyret]

Good day everyone. Today I received my custom nickel + G10 and a polished blade, and was surprised - the handle is matte, has satin, like on the model
Buck Knives
110 Folding Hunter® Pro Knife. When creating the knife, not a word was said about it, the design of the knife I received was extremely ambiguous.
In this regard, the question - if you order brass + G10 - will the handle in this combination be polished, or will it also have satin?
Thanks for the help.

Here is a photo of what happened - you can appreciate this strange combination.

I would try calling them, and see if they could do a mirror polish on the bolsters. If you're going to use and carry the knife, it may be best to leave them as is...

We don't polish G-10 models. Only Satin Finish.
Picture isn't showing, but I'm guessing you ordered a mirror polished blade on that knife? and the concern is the difference between the mirror polished blade and the satin finished g-10?
Let me know and we will see what we can do. I can tell you the G-10 does not polish well, thus the satin finish.

Yes you are right. If I had known this before, I would have ordered any other handle material except G10
Please add this information when creating your model in the custom shop so other fans don't make the same mistake as me.

Is it the G10, or the satin bolsters that you wanted polished?

Entire arm (G10 and bolsters)

I will pass this on to our marketing group.

Mr.Hubbard,with all due respect,I have a 110 from the custom shop with a N/S frame and G10 handles.The frame and handles have a high polish.If you need pictures I'll get them up.

You may be confusing G10 with micarta.All my 110's with micarta are satin finished.

Top one is a custom I ordered. I was concerned if the g10 would come polished like the knife below, a C&C exclusive.
I asked here and got my answer.
It makes sense that if you polish the bolster you will also polish the handle.
But it only makes sense NOW after we have the information.

I love Buck knives. But if I have any gripe with them at all it is with the vague product descriptions.

We did polish G-10 out in the past. We got so many complaints for the 'wavy' look the g-10 gets, we had to stop.
