Really like the blade profile and the full flat grind. Looks like a great slicer. Beautiful sheath also. Thanks for showing. Mike

Full flat grind? Nice convex, Ivn. And I like orange as well! The blade looks like it's nice and thin where it needs to be. This one really catches my eye.

My mistake on the grind. I should have read the description a bit more closely. Thanks for the correction guys. Mike

When you say "stonewash, handrubbed" doe's that mean you did a hand rubbed Satin finish before you stonewashed it?? I've yet to stonewash a blade myself, but that's got to be one of the best stonewashed finishes I've seen yet.

I worked for the following stages: handrubbed diamond paste 80/60 after grinding, using HSS blanc - stonewash with ceramic medium aggression - handrubbed with thinner diamond pastes on wood blanc - stonewash - machine polishing with diamond pastes - stonewash - rubbed satin 1200 over stonewash
