Polishing G10

[BenLankford]

I am going to polish the G10 on my Spyderco Tenacious. I am getting my Manix 2 soon so i'm thinking if I polish my Tenacious it can be my more "dressy" knife that won't get used as much or hard. Is there a specific way to polish it or should I just progress through grits of sandpaper. Like 100, 200,300,400,500 and so on and so forth.

If you don't have a sisal buff, felt or cotton wheels . Then I'd start w/ 900-1K grit sand paper and a soft backing . Spending about 10min. w/ each grit move up to 2K and finish with denium should give you a nice look . DM

If you're just looking to polish it up, I would not go down to 100 grit. You'll just put scratches in it and make more work for yourself.
I say start with 600, then go to about 1000 or 1200, then you should be able to call it a day.

Alright. How high of a grit will I have to go to get a smooth like kinda shiney finish on it?
