My "Stubby 8".

2.5 Blade for 50 state legality.

Simply hammered down the guard on my ka-bar, and made the unfinished choil on the Rift with a pair of pliers and my coarse diamond stone.

Does that Kabar fit in its sheath anymore? It seems like that hammered-down guard would obstruct both kinds of produciton Kabar sheaths I've owned.

Some waving and polishing (Pacific Salt below, Endura 4 above)

:eek::eek::eek: WOW!! I didn't know H1 could polish like that.... WoW! Who did the filework? I love it!!
 
Wow there is some very stunning work being displayed here... That texturized sebbie is awesome, I wish we would see more utilitarian pimped models like this coming directly from Chris Reeves. And the 710 is to die for! I'm not even a 710 fan myself but that thing is just amazing!

I should check this thread more often. Thanks for the kind words guys!

Everything I have posted I have done myself.

H-1 polishes to a mirror, and it is quite easy to polish. I could snap a photo of that knife in the image for you right now...I have carried it 6-7 times since that photo and used it HARD and the polish is still 98% as bright as the day I did it.

I did the wave and the file work also. It is not as hard as some may think to do, but getting the pattern to be uniform/balanced is the tough part.

I started work on my Endura Trainer this weekend if you are interested...

Here is a photo of the polished H-1 that I just took while typing this (not bad for a phone pic). Honestly, I am very surprised at how well the polish is holding up...I really thought it would be scratched and marred all to heck by now. I am resolved to re-polish it when it does (it is relaxing work...as is the file work).

I make a few videos of this stuff, and am working on some more "how-to" videos if anyone is interested. Here is my page:
