Let's see those polished up blades. I'll start with my Fallkniven F1:




Let's see these shiny steely beasts of yours

Holy hell that F1...

How many of you polishers worry about fingerprints, etc? :/

It starts to bug me once I get to a certain polish so I keep away from mirror
 
Trev and n7,
Yeah it took some elbow grease but I had beat it up pretty good during 11B school and got to sharpening it up and like how the edge looked all polished. Decided I'd do the whole blade. Will not do it again lol. It's keeping all the scratches from now on lol.
 
Wow Cryptic! It took me awhile to focus on that blade, for real. Obviously a well loved F1.

Shined up by hand using EDM stones, Black Ice sandpaper and 3M polishing paper.

I see. So that's the knife you were talking about with the duraluminum. I see it still carries it weight in value. Stuff is amazing, IMO. That steel wool like thing on the pedals is like hardened duraluminum that feels like it looks but solid. It's still as its shape and coarseness after years and thousands of smashing. Accelerator still only a few scratches. The rims were far stronger than steel wheels. By miles. Like it better than ti. Titanium rims has only recently been available, still uncommon and apparently really cheap by not so reputable names. Haven't kept up.

Perhaps I'll put an edge on the accelerator. Hmm

Cool knife. Like a samurai sword in folder form. With a true mirror edge. Duraluminum. Very nice there.

Thanks, but I'm a bit befuddled here...
The handle is duralumin while the blade is YXR7 high-speed steel.

I'm not aware of any duralumin blades.
 
I just got the polish in the mail to other day to finish the TR4 :thumbup:

I'm going to start finishing it tonight.
