So I got my damascus and stag Swayback today and it's gorgeous, but I'm annoyed about the finish on the edges. Out of the box both blade edges were so rough and jagged that when I stropped them down my pant leg (edge trailing) they'd snag and pull up cloth fibers. Not even paper slicing sharp, more like little saw blades! My camera wont focus well enough to take a clear photo of the edges. I cleaned them up quickly with a DMT fine and extra fine hone, but I feel for the money I spent the blades should be finished before they get to me.
Overall I'm pleased with it...now.
