The blade on this turned out pretty nicely. There are a couple of little spots here and there, but they are few and far between.

I liked the original scales on this but was unlucky enough to snap them when taking out the pivot pin. I then decided to switch the colors and go with a ivory micarta scale and black acrylic wedge. I have like 4 hours of hand sanding on these scales and they still aren't super shiny. I like it now though, they have a nice shiny glow about them but still provide some pretty decent tactile feel. Not too slippery.
