thanks matt ! i saw a john young knife for the first time in person a few months back at a knife show. the blade finish was so perfect it made me sick to my stomach and i was pissed mine were not that nice. on the way home i vowed to get even and spent the next month figuring out what i was doing wrong. i did not reach his level of perfection, but my mirror finishes improved to where i am very proud of them. thanks for noticing.
