    I love the G10 ghost jade scales. They almost look like glow in the dark material.
    Very nice!!

    Those are some great buffer skills to keep the etching and shoulders so crisp, very nice.

    I started at 400 grit and that is not very abrasive, it was enough to remove shallow pitting and the surface rust. Then hand sanding 600-3k with use of 1k, 1.5k , 2k SiC powders. Finally I buffed with polishing compounds.
