What's your newest Buck knife

I received this custom 110 S35VN with OD Green scales a couple of weeks ago. I almost sent it back due to a large/deep scratch running perpendicular in the brushed brass bolster. I can say I am not a fan of brushed bolsters. Makes it very difficult to touch up or fix light abrasions. I am a fan of using Flitz for cleaning discoloration and light scratches, but that seems to leave a shiny spot in the brushed bolster. I decided to just polish the bolsters. Took 20 minutes on soft buffer wheel and now it will be easier to maintain. I just need to clean up the scales of polishing compound. I am curious as how they are "brushing" the bolsters. Anyone know the process for that?

I reached out to Joe H. and he thinks they use a Scotch-Brite Clean and Finish type material to achieve the brushed look.

Looks fantastic. I prefer the polished brass bolsters anyway!
 
I just got my Custom Shop 119 in, it looks great!
