So I got a $3 SAK on Fleabay to screw around with. This is what came out of it. I'm fairly happy with it, as the polished G10 has a neat sort of ice-water effect, but I think maybe it needs more sanding before I can truly get a nice consistent polished finish. Any tips from the guys who do this sort of stuff? Just keep sanding and buff it again?

For the record, I sanded to 600 grit and buffed with a new clean wheel and white polish.

Then go for the felt wheel and compounds.

SAK came out nice though :)
