My caly had an uneven primary grind from factory, resulting in a wavy edge, It didnt bother me until I decided I wanted a steeper back bevel last night
Ok well this got on my nerves last night and i thought, " polish and live with it, or test my grinding skills on my exotic irreplaceable knife"
I thought to myself, " if I screw it up, ill get a pro to do it"
Freaking AWESOME! i LOVE my stonewash and it is THIN behind the edge , id tell you thickness but my vernier needs batteries
It is the hardest steel ive reground but it wasnt too bad. I definitely need new belts though (or a "good grinder") I left it at worn 80grit cause the patina it forms will hide most scratches
The stonewash was done with vinegar and stones, sick results IMO
Its finished to 0.3 microns at 13dps
