So here are some pics of my modified CF S90V Mili.
Mike @ Grindstone Cutlery took my CF Mily from textured to a smooth finish. He also polished up the clip. This sucker looks and feels great and it makes a **** of a knife to carry when you are dressed up where the original would have been out of place.
I have been carrying it every day for about 2 weeks so far. Mike did the same thing to his before the BLADE show and showed the modified version to Sal.
I didn't have to send him anything, I live about 30 minutes away and he takes care of my knife addiction issues all the time. This hobby is worst than drugs you know!
I took it to him, he had some time so he did it. The only thing he had to work on was the handle and the clip so I imagine that is the only thing he would need.
brj - yup that beautiful texture is hidden under the texture! It is unlike any other CF I have ever seen. Take it easy on the sand paper and make sure to keep it very wet and very very light (600+ or higher grit - find some 3000 grit if you can).
Called Mike and asked about sending it in, but he gave me a few tips over the phone. Did it my self, piece of cake.
Bad lighting in my photos, but am very happy now. Comes out of the pocket easily and rides low, tip up, looks as sharp as it actually is. :)
MCM - Nice job with that CF and with mounting that clip. What did you use to get the screws to thread without ripping the CF hole? Did you epoxy a threaded stud or something like that in the holes?
