I love the look of this knife, but in the second photo there appears to be a rather uneven polish.

Keith, I think you mean the buffalo part. No, it's even, the light does it.

What I am referring to is on the blade. On the ricasso and about 1/2" in from the right edge of the photo, on the flat surface near the top of the blade, there appear to be scratches.

Yes, Keith, you're right.
It was sanded by the maker with 600 grit.
I found some scratches, and rubbed it also with the same grit.
There are some left, because I've done it by Hand.
I think, I will go for it once more.

It would be a crime not to have it 100% when it is already 99.999.
