Wish I would have seen this two days ago, some very good info there Max. Thank you!
Just finished putting a Joseph Rodgers & Sons in a set of G10 and had a real hard time getting most of the scratches out. I used 1200 grit before going to Chromium Oxide on the buffer. There are still some very light scratches left but I figure you'll have those just from normal use so I'm not going to worry too much about them.
