Now that looks good! It looks a lot like a real Hinderer now!

in my quest to make it as hindererish i can, i now have added an OD signed hinderer scale, AND sterilized the blade by removing the gaudy ZT markings. Comments are criticism is always welcome since it makes me better in the end.
Sterile! I think not (at least with that pocket clip
). Maybe you could use a Skyline clip, I think there the same minus the ZT(maybe?).Anyways, I like it!:thumbup: Being a blem you mine as well mod it and make it what you want IMO, nice work.

Not long. They came off just a bit rougher than the stonwwash finish. Prob about 15 minutes total sanding then buffing with steel wool
What grit did you go with?

220 to start and to remove the logos, then 500, then 0000 steel wool. I would have went up to 1000 but that would have been too shiny for my tastes. There are still faint sandpaper scratches but I like the user look so I pay them no mind. Now I'd like to see someone take one to a mirror polish, that'd be nice.
Nice! I may sterilize my 0560 this weekend and bead blast it.
