Getting rid of dimples?

[Tony G]

Thanks! Ham boy did a good job on that ASH! When I went to Ace, I could not find the drill attachment he was using, so I just picked up some sandpaper instead. I dont want to get rid of the little flats. It'll probably be finished by next week, and I will post pics, and will probably just end up leaving the dimples on.

Thanks!

If you can't get it right send it to PorkDucci he can use the practice before I send him mine.:thumbup:

How do you remove the handles?

On busse's I don't At least not yet. I have redone a few others that used screw-fasteners for the handle slabs, as well as a couple folders.

And how many hours will that take? I did not have the patience to remove the dimples on my Ruck.

Yeah... I should have mentioned to set aside a few months.

Refinishing a dimpled INFI blade by hand takes a long, long time.

I did it once with my BATAC and I would not attempt it again.

How do you remove the handles?

Use a 1/4" drill to remove the tube rivets.

You would be better off doing that or if your time and sandpaper is worth anything, send it to someone like Ban. I suspect that he would put an edge on it that would take you another week to do if you could do it at all.
