That's what I weigh.

FWIW...(and keep in mind I'm a big dutchware fan) I us a narrow strip of sanding/emory cloth (shoe shine motion) and round out the bearing surfaces of most dutchwear items to increase the radius...one smooth radius vs two smaller radii at the edges.

Good idea.

I always wondered if that would help... Going to do that tonight as soon as I can get my gear out separate the bling... I also have a rock tumbler for parts I make for various customers and I am going to check it out on the titanium... hope it helps.

Just started using whoopie hooks with 1.8mm and @ 190 I'll be keeping an eye out for fraying and smoothing out the edges is a great idea.

EDIT: Received an email from Dutch and he said that new machining corrects this issue.

I was just logging on to ask the same question. Here is mine after 2 hours of hanging.

Mine looks that bad in a couple places. Have you emailed Dutch yet?

Clamp a Whoopie hook in a vise, "shoe shine" the hook, turn it around and shoe shine the hole and do the second one. You can be done in a couple of minutes and only remove a small amount of metal exactly where it's needed and no where else. A tumbler will take hours and remove metal from the outside at a faster rate then the small interior spaces where you want it to. A tumbler works more by banging the pieces and abrasives together than it does by the abrasives scraping the surfaces alone. I think you will find little happens on the small interior spaces.
