[Cobalt]

Just some ics for you guys of the tedious work of satinizing one of my 1 of 300's. It's actually at about a 1500 grit there

Are you going to do this to all 300 of your 1 of 300s?

A question.....when were the 300 made in the time-line of SHBMs? I thought they were early when the smooth bolt fastener was used? ......What about the 1/6?

 

[Gravelface]

AARRGHHHH!!!! Quick, Change it back!!! Even my 3 year old knows a freak when she sees it!She is over here calling that picture "Ugly"

All SHBM's are INFI and INFI wasn't (supposedly) used till the slotted bolts were the norn.
It's actually pretty rare to see a SHSH with half moon pommel and smooth bolts. (I've only ever seen one and foolishly passed on it).

These are just my observations and based on the fact that I don't know Jack.

Haha thats pretty funny that he changed it but its hideous too.

 

[Gravelface]

It is hideous like Rat F. Avatar!!! YIKES!!!!

Isn't smooth handles a way to tell earlier models? And with more grooves cut in mean it is later in the life cycle of BMs? Were there completely smooth handled SHBMs? Then grooves between the fasteners....then all over? I am of the same school......I don't know Jack either.

Cobalt, was that the one you got from me?

Great job Cobalt. I really lik'em nekkid! Did you take the handles off for this?

Nope just carefully and slowly finger sanded it with 100 grit and moved up to 1500 grit. I am not done, but I don't feel like doing any more right now.

The 300, were the first of the SHBM's, they were the first 300. And you can break them up further into subgroups within the first 300, like the 1 of 6, which were within the first 300 and the first 100 which had the smoother handles I think. And also 50 or so that came with sharpened false edges. But they were all part of the first 300.

Cobalt, was that the one you got from me?

No, it's not. Your's had more grooves on the handles. Otherwise it is identical
