It was starting to look like utter garbage.. I haven't been kind to the knife so I thought i'd give it the spa treatment. Blasted and tumbled it, didn't want a traditional double cut finish. I've removed some of the recurve, I'm going to remove a little more in the coming months each sharpening session. I also sanded down the handles, I didn't clean them off before the pictures, but they're still jet black, just a little bit smoother but still grippy.

The edge is also of course, convexed, I don't have any V edges, so why start now?

Here are a couple quick pics before work.

Those mods look terrible and you should immediatley hand it over to me before you do more damage to the poor guy;) j/k

I like the look you gave it better than the out of box version. Nice job.
 
That job is sweeeeet!! A little mineral oil will make that G-10 pop again! :D :thumbup:
 
It slices A LOT better now, but i'm still undecided whether or not to completely remove the recurve. I've taken quite a bit out of it, but left some just for blade life, I'm leaning towards keeping it the way it is.

Click to expand...

This is just my personal opinion, but if you take off any more blade, it'll look weird. I think it's as skinny as a ZT 0200 would ever want to be right now. :)
