hi all!

Managed to finish my first set of scales for the spyderco Manix 2. Am now in love with canvas micarta!

Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous cry for help post regarding handle screw holes.

Was wondering about finishing the handles - what's the best way to get that cloth-like texture on the micarta? Have sanded to 80 grit and exposed the grain, but it's still relatively smooth. Aiming for something akin to the RAT cutlery micarta handles.

Oh..and I don't have a bead blaster either ;p any hand tool methods would be appreciated! Thx!

Dave
