Sanding Sar 3 Orange G10 Handles

[Nakatomi]

Hey guys!

Got my Sar 3 Orange/Black, and love it! The handle has a really aggressive pattern though...not digging the spines, they dig into the hand a bit, especially at the back end. Any advice on how to sand them down a shade? What grit paper, etc?

Thanks!!

i'd start with 220 grit, then work your way up till you get the texture you want. also do it out side or were a mask.

G10 dust is powdered glass. You really don't want to breathe it. If you haven't got a decent particle respirator (not sure I would trust a paint mask), then work outside in a breeze, or try wet sanding. It should take much to knock down the sharp peaks.

I wish Busse would try abrasive blasting the G10. It gives a nice grippy surface.

Now ya tell me. I did mine on the couch over some news paper. I rounded the back corners ever so slightly. Its really easy.
