Hey Guys,
Figured I would post some pictures.
This was my 4th knife I sharpened with the wicked edge also did my fist acid etching on it.
Which I ended up doing it backwards/inverted.
I didn't realize until I had nail polish all over.
What I intended is a polish boarder going around the whole knife top/bottom and also have the gears polished.
Then everything else acid etched. I made the stencils out of tape and by the time I noticed I had a ton of nail polish and was in no mood to recut stencils.
Next time I will buy stencils made. lol
That being said if anyone could recommend a good place that makes some that would be awesome. I'm using that radio shack acid so would need something I can dunk for 30min or so
This was also my 4th knife I used with the wicked edge.
I noticed when I made it to my last strop.
My angles were both off about .20-.30 so I re-angled them back to 15.00 and that seemed to help the polishing a ton.
pics don't do it justice but by eye it seems very close to mirror
Let me know what you guys think
Removed embeded images, Seems dropbox specific images urls change after awhile
Here is the gallery image which I know is static.
