Caly 3.5 Superblue Regrind and Dark stonewash

[Razorsharp-Travis]

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

Tha stonewash looks sick! Can you give more specific info on exactly how you did it? I would love to try that.

I just used some smallish stones off the driveway, about 1" ish in size , and a splash of vinegar and put it in my tumbler

That looks good Travis, I bet it's dull though.

Kidding, nice work bud.
