Desert Patrol, did a little tuning :)

Hi Everybody,

Did a little work on one of my Desert Patrol knives.

I think the scales kind of look like Westinghouse micarta now.

Cool what did you do to them?

 

[The Knife Life]

And what did you do to the blade? Looks like a really nice fine finish! Can't be how it looked after stripping. Scotch Brite buffed? I imagine there was some sanding done prior as well?

Looks great! I would have bought one if they had came like that!

You know I love me some ghetto satin! That is gorgeous, my friend! Wish I had pulled the trigger now.
BTW, you gonna keep the slab treatment a secret?

My Desert Patrol just walked in on me looking at that yours….

Now she’s locked in the bathroom crying. Says she can’t live up to those unrealistic standards!

Wow me like a lot and I don't even have one. The scales look great. You lookin to sell?

 

[Don't drop it.]

No sanding, but lots of scotchbrighting.

Looks great! I would have bought one if they had came like that!
