Benchmade 42 post 2009 polish job
ok so heres what I started with:
after one round of 600 grit paper:
then up to 800:
and then 1200:
I left it that way for about a week and then went after the grain that was still left
after a night of hard sanding my fingers were sore as f but the knife looked fantastic (not perfect) but fantastic
went through all the grits again; 600, 800, 1200
in hindsight it prolly would've been better to start at like 400 but whatever
