I know this is off topic, but I'm finally back. For a while now, our school's internet system wasn't quite working. Not only that but I'd been studying for my for my third mate's license. So for a while, I wasn't even able to get to the library to post on here or even read any posts. But as of Feb. 22 I am now a licensed (under the Coast Guard) third mate (third officer) for any size (merchant, private, passenger, etc.) vessel on all waters, inland and international!!! I figured that since I'm telling everyone I know, I'd toot my own horn here on the forums as well.

Anyway, I posted about replacement handles that I made for a BM 269 a while ago. Since then it was sent to Sabo, who did an excellent job, for polishing. I've taken pictures of it and as soon as they are developed, I will post them up for everyone.

Though I'm going to repeat this when I resurrect my old post I would like to sincerely recommend Sabo to anyone that is looking for a professional polishing job. Sabo truely brought my knife from a mediocre finish to a gleemingly beautiful and professional finish. Sabo, again, I would now like to thank you publicly for a job well done.

More to follow...

Congratulations! That is a major accomplishment. We'll expect you to start traveling the world and picking up balisongs from all over now.

But of course we need a third mate. However, all of our officers must be Merchant Marines.

Thank you for the kind words Steve. However you are the one to be celebrated for crafting some very VERY fine handles that anyone would be proud of. (I tell ya guys, these babies can sing and OH, OH, are they pretty)! You have some very refined machining skills sir!

Best of luck!
