I didn't see a "Assembly Instructions" section for the knife. Will You be adding one?
Thanks

My order is in! Also ordered the DDRII! Looking forward to receiving the goods. I was very happy with the quality and service received from my first order, which was the DDRI. Thanks.

and the blade will come with a ultra-mirror finish from the get-go

Alex

Mine has more of a brushed finish. Do the finishes on the blades differ, or did mine get un-mirrored?

Ned,
The blades are tumble mirrored to our specs.
It is in between a mirror and a satin.
If you want a bright mirror just hit it on the buffer with some green compound. It should just take a min.
If you want a hand rubbed satin just stroke the blade with 600 grit paper.

[NedFig]

It's good. I like the tumbled finish. Was just checking that I didn't get a bad one.

What media do you tumble the blades in? Is it a vibratory tumbler or a rotary tumbler?

[Darrel Ralph]

Ned
It is vibratory.
Our vendor uses several stages to get the blades to that finish.
I really done know the grits.
I think they said it takes 4 processes.

[NedFig]

Thanks. I guess I'll have to experiment with my brass tumbler

Ned,
I know they use polishing paste of some type and media in the final set up to polish them .
