Ka-Bar 1109 Sockman Cleaned Up

Bolsters were kinda beat up.

Took a 320 grit water stone to them to level out the scratches/dents, and give then a brushed finish.

I think the bolsters (and knife) looks "healthier" (or not as absued?) now.

Does anyone know if Ka-Bar used 440A or 425HC stainless?

Pictures are bit blurry, but from what I can tell... yep, looks good.
