MINI!!!!!!!!!!!! Now THAT would be a feat! But not beyond imagination........nah! heh heh

Got the stripper to it last night, its a bit rough, not much of a penetrator point on one side. Guess it was an off day huh. ;) Sandpaper first, questions later, lol!

Did he say Stripper? :eek:

Sandpaper first, questions later is the wrong order! pictures first, questions later is the way to go :D
 
Heh heh, the stripper is a bit shy (!) :rolleyes: :p ;) But the nekked CT isnt shy at all! Here she is in all her glory, a diamond in the rough. What do yall think of a swedge grind from the tip to about the third inch of blade? It would be one heck of a penetrator after that eh? and the spine after that would have the sparp edge ground off a bit? Input needed! :D

I have another Battle Rat on it's way here. I just might have to try this :eek:

Looks real good!

Go baby, go! Dwayne, that looks awesome. Methinks a swedge would look very, very yum!

Cheers,
BJB :D
 
Hey Guys, finally got some grinder time and got the finish looking a lot more satiny :D Now I need to get a hold of some finer belts to finish the full convex edge! The swedge is going to be a bear! I am not sure of it, so far I have cut the edges off the corners of the spine and its got a nice rounded feel.
