So if you didn't see my 2nd wicked edge thread in the other forum I damaged my CF Yojimbo 2 in s90v. It's just scratches heavily in the hollow portion. Does anyone know of a good service preferably here on the site that I can talk to about refinishing this region of the blade? On Spyderco's warranty page they don't list this kind of work even though they made the knife in Golden.

The rest of the smudges are just soap and such from rubbing the blade down between stones. Any help pointed in the right direction will be much appreciated. This is a numbered CF s90v Yoji 2 also, 060.
 
Try Josh at Razor Edge Knives. He put a flat grind on a convex ground Bark River fixed blade and removed the wave off of an Emerson and added jimping in its place and did spotless work. He's active on this forum so you can find reviews.
 
Just carry and use it. Josh does some of the best work around but he is not fast because of that. Last I checked with him it was 2 months for a regrind.

That was last year.
 
OP: If you want a S90V Sprint Yo2 that looks "like new," wouldn't it be quicker and easier (and maybe cheaper) to just to buy another one on EB to keep LNIB in your safe.

FWIW, the edge on the one you've got doesn't look THAT bad to me and, if it actually needs resharpening, you can just send it back to Spyderco and get it resharpened for free. They won't polish it up to make it look "like new" but they should be willing to try to fix any edge damage that may have occurred. I believe that it should only cost about $10 ($5 to mail it there and $5 for return shipping) to do this.

I bought the 20cv one and pitched the blade. My personality does not handle these type of mistakes very well. I made an F22 model and tripped which broke something off, went ballistic and smashed the whole model.

Anyway this could be a thing with s90v because I remember I had a BM 940 in s90v and it too got scratched every very easily. Remember s90v is an old steel so yes it does have 9% vanadium but it's missing so much other research that we know we need to make that much vanadium work, that's why we have s110v. I still have a s90v Manix 2 but I'll never sharpen that. Gosh darn it my track record with this steel is just lunacy.
 
I sanded the grip on my stainless Police Model once.
Eventually I preferred the scars. Scars are cool. Makes it yours.
