Hi all
i have been working pretty much only with G10 so far, about 5 knives, and after grinding and texturing with my grinder i have been finishing them on a buffer. I have used blue rouge, white rouge, and pink scratchless as well. All of these rouges I believe are designed for polishing metal in the last stages.
I am wanting to leave more of a satin finish on the handles, no gloss but still have the smooth buffed look. Any recomendation? so far only the middle knife below has finished somewhat like i am looking for. but even it still had a somewhat reflective gloss to it.
The orange knife actually finished dirty looking but i have solved some of that issue by going to a smaller wheel (6") and not over loading the wheel with compound.
should i use a different rouge?
thanks
steve
