A special blade calls for special pimpin attention.

You guys ever see polished micarta?

It looks very cool, like a wet polished rock on the beach, and you can see all the canvas detail. I have never done it but have thought about it a lot and just tonight found a supplier to order what I will need to do the job.I will use a product called Micromesh, which is approved by Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, to polish the acrylic windscreens on their aircraft.I got the idea this summer from one of the F-15 maintenance crew members when I saw him polishing the windscreens. I figure if it's acrylic based,which micarta is, and it's good enough for them than why not a Horton, plus, it will be a great conversation point with the pilots that know about Horton.
 
AFAIK, standard micarta uses a phenolic binder, and G10 and carbon use epoxy. I was not aware of a performance composite that's made with acrylic.

Doesn't mean that the Micromesh wont still work, of course...

I've been telling him...14" blade, made from 1/8" S7. siguy over on the W&SS forum has done a few. 'Borrow' the profile from the KSF Barkie machete.

OTOH, maybe I can't afford a custom machete by Jeremy. :rolleyes::D
