Man o man !! Is that not one of the finest looking knives going...wow !! Excuse me while I stare. Great photo too !
Gonna try that myself.Yes I did, WoodManGM. I didn't try to do a mirror polish, but rather attempt to smooth it out a bit. The satin finish from GEC on mine was a bit coarse. I Masked off the blade and all other places I didn't want to get sanded, or get stuff into. I used a piece of 1000 grit sandpaper, followed by another piece of 2000 grit (this is what I had on hand), using 1 or 2 fingers with light-medium pressure. Went cross-wise against GEC's length-wise until I saw a minimum of those original lines remaining. Probably spent about a half hour or 45 minutes total.
