I've been into customizing some of my knives, and I'm always looking for ways to improve things. I traded a forumite for a C15 Spy/Terz that had the edges of its G-10 handle polished. The handle of that knife feels so good in my hand, I now want to polish the G-10 edges on some of my other knives!! How can I/should I do it? Can I use my Dremel?

Yes you can do it with your dremmel but it will take a bit longer than with a proper buffer. Sand the edge to 600 grit then polish with the standard green stainless steel buffing compound on a felt bob.

Seem like an article I read awhile back stated that G-10 might be hazardous to your breathing ability when sanded. A respirator might be a good idea.
