I normally use 200 to knock the polish/high grit finish off, then use 80 for some texture.
Keep in mind, you may want to touch up the shield up to 400-600 grit for a satin finish so it doesn't look too scratched and unintentional.
I will edit with a pic of my sodbuster to show the finish from the 200/80 combo on linen micarta.
Edit:
You can also use a few coats of nail polish on the shield and bolsters, and remove it later with acetone
I have a beer scout knife ivory bone on the way. This will bet first one, an definitely not my last based on the sweet pictures of other models and handles.
Excuse my ignorance, what is the real difference between the beer and soda scout? Obviously besides the name.

Where are the bloodwood pictures? Look great in the factory and Barry's pics, but want to see some in the wild.

Feel free to send me one and I will post it. I bought two micarta, but only one is staying with me...
Why am I the only person in my family that gifts quality knives? ... does anybody else feel that way?

Maybe you need to start a new family tradition...
They are gunstockjack's SFO and they started going out Wednesday; I figured we would be seeing some by now.

So with it being from gunstockjacks, your saying it would be someone from my (Bladeforums) family that should gift me a bloodwood?
Why Thank You Mike, You are too kind...
just messing with you. I would love to have the disposable income to spend on another. If I didn't have a knife in the works for me, I could allocate the funds elsewhere.
I had to make a choice among the many, and I went with Yours. Even going so far as to get a refund on a saw cut.
Thanks for the service.

If anybody had gotten their bloodwood yet, I think we would definitely see some pics
Monday will be a trifecta day for me. Bloodwood, micarta and red saw-cut

Monday for me as well on the bloodwood. Was hoping the USPS was going to underpromise and overdeliver, and get it to me today, but it is not to be.

The first half of the BW order was rec'd Friday, and individual orders shipped same day. I should get the rest of the order Monday morning and I'll get them shipped same day. They are quite uniform in color and grain and they should start landing on Monday.
They're real purdy!!!

Thanks Barry for the update! I resisted (hard to do I might add) buying any of the Soda/Beer 15s knowing this one was coming. The pictures look fantastic and this one has all the features I was looking for. Thanks for all your work to produce this model. Best, Lloyd
