my first attempt at hardware polishing

[Muaddib1116]

I used green chrome oxide on a piece of leather. I think I'll need something finer to get a better mirror finish, but they still look pretty good. The polished hardware looks really great on a sebenza.

Im sorry.

what is considered hardware on knives?

 

[RobertK]

Screws.

Im sorry.

what is considered hardware on knives?

Blade, screws, handle, maybe even washers ... Hope my two scents are in the right ball park

Did you have the hardware that looked like it got ran over by a Mac truck?

 

[HwangJino]

Ah ok ok.

is it normal mine are already polished or is it just certain types of sebenza?

 

[HuntBomb]

There's polished...and then there's POLISHED.

 

[HwangJino]

Ah nice!

Im tempted to pull out some micron compounds haha.

I used a Dremel and Dremel 421 polishing compound and it turned out better than polished.

 

[HwangJino]

I wonder if its possible to polish titanium clip?

 

[Muaddib1116]

I'm sure it is. I won't be trying it though, at this point, I like the bead-blasted clip.

 

[HwangJino]

Off topic, but is muaddib a moon of an planet? Maybe arrakis?

 

[Muaddib1116]

Haha, yeah, the 2nd moon if I recall correctly. Also it's the name of a desert mouse. And some guy.

The clip you would want to scotchbrite then polish. Lots of threads on the process.
