Looking good Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

good job on that unsub

Thanks again ,I am shocked at how nice INFI is to work with. I got a razor edge and it polishes up very fast and easy. Much easier than S7. I think it must be all those expensive alloys.

I got one side already showing a decent reflection. The dremel and the round pieces of sandpaper make things so much faster than hand sanding. I still have to finsh by hand but the amount of work is reduced drastically.

My SH-e came 7/26 so I took some pics with my BM-e.

I love this set of Ergos:


Sh-e is in almost mint condition, slight smoothing near the tip. Edge is perfect.

I love these two.

I started a thread called "show me the Ergos' on the BF Busse forum that has some great ergo porn.

I love your matching set. I need to get myself one of those BM-E's for my own set.

I have made some more progress on my SH-E. I have one side polished up to 600 grit but Putfile lost my account so I have no way to post the pics.

Once generation kill is over I will go to the other room with the big computer and try to post the new shiny photos.

INFI is a joy to work with. But watch out, it grinds fast! I have never seen a steel like it.

I added some pics to the "Show me the Ergos" at BF for you. I didn't want to get carried away here with them. =)

You're braver than I am - I just don't know if I could do that to an Ergo...yet...

Try photobucket for your pics - I've had a good experience with it.

Those are some beautiful knives.

It really helped that this SH-E was a user that has some dings so i did not feel bad about stripping her. I posted a couple on Flicker but I still have to figure out how to post them. I may just put up a link for now.

Here is one where I have got the reflection of my "WANTED" poster (the comic not the movie) in my knife. The other side is not as done but it still looks good even though it is only a lengthwise 60 grit.

It is a lot of hard work getting them this shiny even with a dremel and band grinder. You still have to do a lot by hand. The results are worth it.

A mirror polished knife would be awesome in a tactical situation because you could use it to see around corners without sticking your head out. I tried it with the SH-E and it works!

Wow! That SHe is looking great Unsub. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Chris ,I really wanted to see what you thought of it because you were one of the people who saw it's original condition. It is super sharp now as well.
I fixed the nonbeveled side the same way a machine shop would do a set of heads.
I removed enough metal so it was perfectly flat again. It bit my thumb though while I was hand sanding. Not only did I slice my thumb open I also ground some INFI dust into the wound in the process.

You have not been around for a while Chris ,have you been on vacation?

For anyone doing this themselves ,you have to make the flat sides perfectly flat by using a piece of flat stock with sandpaper on it. It is a hell of a lot easier to do this at 60 grit where you remove metal rather fast than forgetting that step until 230 grit<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> and having to sand forever to remove a tiny little divot or go back and do it all over again<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

We just had a wicked summer hail and thunderstorm like you get on the prairies every once in a while. Our big plastic garbage can with the wheels actually started floating/rolling down the street. It got 3 houses away before we caught it.
