Very nice work Robert. I really like the combination of materials.
Chris
That knife has class! Nice selection of materials.
Well done, Robert!
Russell
Overall beautiful knife but my 400 grit finish doesn't look that nice!
Robert
Very nice clean blade. Love the Stag and the browned guard , a very durable finish.
Anthony
Beautiful! Your finish at 400 is really nice!
Thanks for all the nice comments!
Jeff, Walnut Ridge is not far from Hernando. I'd be glad to show you how I was taught to get my satin finishes!
Bob
Bob,
Hernando is definitely not too far. I would very much like the opportunity to learn from you!
Jeff
Very nice looking knife there Robert.
400 grit is my typical end for a satin finish. Done correctly (as is shown!) it looks great.
I'm curious what problems folks are having with obtaining a 400 grit satin like the one shown.

Thanks Joshua,
I think techniques, sanding blocks, and paper used have a lot to do with it.
