Here are some pics of my Mud Razor makeover:

Stripped and bare INFI:

Sanding to get all dimples and scratches out. Therefor the handles were removed (I discovered that my MR is number 37). I decided a "booty" job would do her good. Also the ricasso line is cleaned up a bit:

Tried a few different kind of satin grits:

That's really nice! I did not know there was an LE version without the corrugations and whatnot. Nicely done!:thumbup: :thumbup:
 
That is really some nice work. I'll be doing that to my NO-E once the coating is worn enough. Did you hand rub that baby? What were the various grits you used? Wet/dry auto sand paper? Good stuff!!!
 
Crafft,

Yowza!!! That is awesome!!!! :cool: . . . .

Now if I can just find a way to convince you that the commute is worth it, I can put you to work in the custom shop!!!! :thumbup:

LOL!!! Just ship some INFI to me please (SFNO's preferred).

Just to clear things up. I did not do much myself on the MR. All credits have to go to my friend who is a master toolmaker. I only did the strippin' and sharpening, made the decisions what to do and did some sanding myself (very little though).

I'll tell him that a careerchange to Busse is a possibility:D:D:D.
 
Wow! Amazing job on that! Definitely the best looking Razor so far!
 
Very nice Crafft, I can only imagine the time involved but that MR looks fantastic.:thumbup:

Wow, you should get some sort of prize. That is a very nice job and a really stunning knife. The pics definitely get a spot in my "things to strive for" folder.

PS - how did you do the fasteners?
 
I'll take it!!

oops, wrong forum :foot:

Beautiful work. I do like the look of naked steel. :thumbup:
 
I am not a fan of modifying knives, especially Busse knives.

You might be able to make me change my mind with this mod -- very, very nice. Your friend has real skills.
