Mirror Polish BK2 (two tone)

[Febeleh]

I feel your pain...took a mighty long while to do my BK7 by hand. Sure makes ya love the blade that much more though don't it?

Do you have pictures of said polished BK7?

Bishop2Queen's6- I think I get what you mean with the whole "one with the blade mentality" now.
In some form, yes, but not in any mystical way. It just makes you feel like you "know" the blade that much better, and have had a chance to put your own modifications on it, making it feel as if it is more "yours".

Exactly. Kinda why I like washing my car, or working on it myself instead of paying someone else to do so.

With my BK2 I stripped and patina-ed to the bevels and left the flats to their own devices. I really like the look of the two tone finish, but you did your BK2 much better than I did.

Ooh, that actually sounds quite interesting!
