Got the T1 & it's pretty good. Thumbstuds, bearings, good detent, really good ergos...etc, etc. Just few things that are missing. So I put a tiny detent ramp on it. Didn't need it, but every little bit helps. Nice. Still not quite there. Then it dawned on me while unlocking the knife, slip...oh no! It's too slippery. Not good. Who can blast this thing cuz I do NOT feel like pulling out the blasting cabinet, dumping more media in the hopper...etc, etc. Hello Josh @razor-edge-knives. Take a look at this beauty. It has earned a permanent place in the collection.

A comparison shot. The CRK is a bit darker due to the oils of the skin.

I combed over them & they are perfect. Both sides.

Thanks again Josh! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
Nice. The T1 is such an underrated knife. I love everything about it other than the lanyard thing hotspot.
 
I know this thread is old but do u remember which kind of blast this is ? Like sand blasted bead blasted or?I got the same knife and want the same end result
 
I don't know exactly, but having replicated many Sebenzas scales in the past, I'm going to guess at aluminum oxide or silicon carbide. Glass blasting titanium isn't very effective. Probably 240 grit.

You are correct. It would be a A/O blast on those scales. :)
