What tools and polishes do you use to get a blade like that?

Can you give a brief overview of the process?

I have a dremel. Should I use the polishing paste that comes with the dremel, and 'go for it' on one of my ebay SEs?

I glot to bust some moves. not doing nuttin over here.

Get Bill's CD. Read everything you can find on here. Make custom knives for 4 years. That'll teach you just about everything I know. :D Seriously, I've made a significant investment in tools and materials, but flapwheels, radial bristle discs, a Foredom tool, super glue, Cocobolo wood, brass rod and washers, a buffer and 3 different buffing compounds are all you need to get one like that. Oh, and sandpaper. :rolleyes:

I am.
And I took a nice kick in the crotch with the vet bill.
I'm out for a little bit.

I'm going to have to pass on this one...........

Game on!

FWIW, when a thread is 6 years old ..... posting an appreciation of the workmanship is a bit late IMHO. :chapeau
