Big thanks to Razor Edge Knives. My Nirvana no longer feels super blade heavy and unbalanced. Slices absurdly well now. Additionally, I'm hoping the satin finish will be less corrosion prone since the old finish had already started developing rust spots.

I'm tempted to go even further with this one (any kind of warranty obviously void now) and have the handle custom anodized. Anyone have ideas? My only concern is the stop pin since that can't be removed. Will that be an issue for anodizing?

I struggled to take this picture because the blade is now so shiny my camera won't pick up anything else.

Very nice. How thick behind the edge now? Looks like he left enough steel to still keep it suitable for rigorous use. .015"-.020"?
 
Cuts much better, and you got rid of that rust prone/mark showing Bead Blasting as well.
Two birds with one stone. Looks great, and thanks for the pic :thumbup:
 
200 grit finish I presume. Same here. Josh did the same for my 110 PM2. What's the primary bevel? Almost looks like mine by the looks of the bevel, which is about a couple points shallower than "normal" EDC. I like it!

That's the Nirvana2 right there.

I hope they do a Nirvana 2 eventually, or at least another integral. I'd suggest Spyderco stick with an FFG, throw in a lockbar insert/stabilizer, and redesign the bearings so there isn't potential for wear on the inside of the titanium. I'd gladly pay top dollar for a Spyderco like that, especially considering I'm in over $600 on this one already.

600 grit with buffing actually. I went with a higher grit since it'll be even less corrosion prone. Not sure exactly what angle the primary is at. The edge is 15 dps. I just told him to make it an FFG, with no other criteria for thickness.

RE certainly does nice work. I'm really jealous of his logo too.

I wouldn't think there would be any issue with anodizing.
 
Looks sick!!! I wish i wasn't lefty i really love the looks of this knife, and i could def have the pocket clip swited to the other side but the cut out for the spyder hole would be the hard part!
 
Sweet! I'd have a hard time resisting if they made it like that from the factory.

The stop pin can be masked so it doesn't cause any issue during anodizing. Love that regrind!!!!
