Thank you kindly, I love how the hamon line is more pronounced, took a while though. Tried polishing a ZDP Endura... By hand. Just couldn't give it, so I stonewashed it. Looks good now :) IMHO.xceptnl wrote:I second that. The polish job looks great as well.

Very nice.MarcusH wrote:Another Moki-made beauty: Kiwi Carbonfiber
The carbon fiber that Spyderco uses with their bolsters + CF knives looks really great, particulary when it is lightly contoured. This irregular pattern is much more attractive to me than the very regular, squarish and finally "boring" patterns they usually use for their production knives.
I really would like to see more of this carbon fiber type on production knives.

Polished G-10 isn't bad either, if it's slightly contoured

Nope, it was used and was actually in pretty bad shape. Lots of scratches on the bolsters, but the blade was fine.xceptnl wrote:Looks to be perfect condition, new?
It took my quite a bit of elbowgrease and some micromesh to remove the scratches and polish the bolsters.

Don't you love bringing one back from the dead? I must say you did a better job than I did on my latest Kiwi. I would hate to see mine in your lighting!MarcusH wrote:Nope, it was used and was actually in pretty bad shape. Lots of scratches on the bolsters, but the blade was fine.
