How does my Etch job look?

Eureka... Laser engraved for $20... Wish I would have known it was that cheap in the first place, wouldnt have wasted my time with DIY. Now onto some sanding...

SWEET! That laser etch is fantastic! :thumbsup:
 
Here is the current state of the TGLB, I am learning and considering all options for blade finishing. Bead blasted is the simplest thing since I can do it without removing the scales. But if I decide I wanna go ahead and remove the scales for a total refinishing process how have those of you who removed them gone about getting them off? Are you drilling the rivets out? What size bit if so?

@TommyGun56 I noticed in a few of your pictures you have swapped to Hex Bolts. May I ask where I can acquire those bolts sir? Maybe a link to buy if it's not too much trouble? Your blades look amazing if I may grease you up a bit for that info ;)
