Re-Texturing G-10

mundele · #1

I recently bought a used Military with hopes that I could bring it back to life. It has been used hard, but it is in reasonably decent shape. This is an older ATS-34 Military (fully serrated) with a 3-screw silver clip. The G-10 was either semi-polished initially, or it has been carried and used so much that it's now smooth. Is there a way that I can "re-texture" the G-10 to be more like my other newer Military?

Can the folks at Warranty and Repair do this?

Hi Matt. It's possible, but difficult. I would contact Mike at Warrantee & repair.

I saw some older "new" spydercos today at a show. By older I mean ones that have been around a while like the G-10 rookie and Standard and I noticed that the G-10 on them has a different feel than the G-10 of my CPM-440c military. Has Spyderco started using a different type of G-10 or maybe a different finishing technique on newer spydercos?

Hi Matt. we've used a variety of manufacturers for G10 and finished them a variety of ways over the years.

One last question for you Sal.... (if I'm not too much of a nuisance) The serrated edge of this Military has seen quite a bit of use and is quite dull. The teeth of the individual serrations are rounded now instead of pointy. I began sharpening it on the Sharpmaker but I think it is just rounding them off further. If I were to send this knife in to the Warranty and Repair Dept, could they regrind or otherwise restore the original shape of the serrations?

P.S. Thanks again for all of your replies...
