I do not like clicking on links to other sites when I have no idea where I will be taken, or what is on the other end of the link. Please embed your photos here...so we may better enjoy your passions with you.

Nemo - wonderful pictures on your blog and great mod to your Paramilitary. Love the look of the handle.

You mentioned that you sanded the G10, then polished it. May I ask you to elaborate on the process a little more? Did you dissemble the knife? What did you use to polish it?

Thanks much...

[Mr Blonde]

That's a really nice job you did there Nemo! If you come to the A'dam meet, do bring it a long if you can.

I did not dissemble it.
I use 400 wood sanspaper and then finish it with polish. (this is a white polish for metal, nothing special...)
You need to be in the open air and far from G10 dust (toxic!!!)
and better wear a mask.

It took me one hour. All by hand.
No big deal.

(By just pointing the mouse on the link (without clicking), it's easy to notice it won't go to some pharma site...) :D

Though I like the grip of rough G10, that looks bloody awesome! Thanks for sharing.

- best wishes, Jazz.

I did the same to a Bg-42 Millie I used to have.I prefer smoother finishes on handles myself. I comstantly put my hands in my pockets to retrieve keys etc, and my pinkie knuckle takes a beating from rough surfaces.

[BBQ BOY]

I think it looks MUCH better. Makes me want to buy the standard version now.

Seriously? Not to be argumentative, but how do you get anywhere on the internet? Any link you click in e-mail or on any website could potentially go to a site you don't want it to. Also, you have a link in your own signature line...how does anyone know where that goes?

Just hover your mouse over the link and look at the bottom of your browser window; it will display the URL of the link before you click on it.

It's just not that big of a deal, especially if you have a decent anti-virus/malware application running.

Anyway, the sanded G-10 looks cool.

Looks gorgeous! Really nice!

Sorry if I offended you. I look at links in a similar fashion to advertisements...when you post one, you are hoping to lure a click or share your ideas...either way, it is a great idea to give more introductory info.

The way this link was posted, I felt like the OP would generate more traffic to his site by setting up his link a little better (give people a taste of the passion you intend to share). By adding photos here (and in the other forum where he posted this), I think more people will be inclined to check out his site.

I will gladly pull the link in my sig if you like...I try to share quite a bit here, and I feel like the text explains pretty clearly what the person will see if they go there.

That looks really nice...good to know that after i beat the crap out of my Para scales i can sand them down and they won't look stupid. Then you can get out a file and cut some grips into it if you feel the need.

Oh, and the Para 2 reeeeally needed to come with a black clip. It looks so much better than the chrome.

[dsmegst]

From my experience, I used medium grit sandpaper, I think 320 grit, to do the basic shaping like knocking down the texturing. And when the surface is smooth, I switch to 800 grit wet/dry automotive sand paper. My final sanding is done with 2000 grit wet/dry sand paper.

The polishing is done with a fine polishing compound and a rag. I used Flitz polishing compound. Going through a few grit steps before polishing saves time spent rubbing by hand. If you have some polish wheels, then a big grit step jump is not as bad.

No big deal.
"Errare humanum est".

I assumed the belly of the Para was more pronounced than the Millie.
My mistake:

[Nemo3000]

I did not reduce the sanding to the handle...
