Pictures turned out kinda Grainy..... I'll have to get some better shots tonight.

Any Idea's on how to get the mirror polished edge to Blue properly, I'm having a heck of a time getting it to match the blade flats.

Blue Wonder bluing chemicals do an excellent job. Conduct a website search and read the tutortial they have on their website. I have used this for several years and it produces a blue or black finish, they sell both. It is easy to apply the the results will rival a good hot blue job. Down side is it is not cheap as gold and silver is in the solution.
