Thank you, good sir. Cuts through inches of meat in one slice. I am pleased

Much appreciated sir...Means a lot from you. Couldn't ask for better designs. I have been loving the freedom of modifying these blades to suit my applications. Very therapeutic.
I finally picked up a BK3 and had to take it into the field...I was more than confident with that tool on my side.

Is the patina on the BK2 from using CitriStrip? Like the looks of it.

Nice work on the polishing, too. Looks very VERY slicey!

Thanks! I used "KleanStrip" in a spray can, (forgot which home improvement store carries it), very heavy-duty and makes your skin "itch". I also used a plastic scraper for the stripping process and didn't let the stripper stay on for too lengthy of a period. I was very pleased with the BK2's stonewashed look. Lucked out on that one...one of my BK4s turned out that way too. I have pictures of all my stripping processes if they're ever wanted. Very fun

I think stonewash is my favorite finish. Did not realize you could get that look merely from stripping.
