SS glamor shots (before mod)

[Bigfattyt]

I decided to post these before shots of my pumpkin SS. It is now a flat edge, convex. ( still planning on stripping)

This is Spokane Falls, not the highest it has been this year, but decent. (for scale, look at the people across the river on the balcony)

Now the SS shots

Gondola ride over the falls

some sharpening shots (this is before I took sand paper to it and took the curve out of the the blade and convexed it)

sharpened on the crappy 4 sided strop I made (carved with the SS)

those curls were cut after a few minutes of stropping (it got much shinier and sharper over the next few times)


a while after these were taken, the tip make contact with the sink, and that was all the incentive I needed to start taking the curve out and convexing it on sand paper (photos to come in a couple weeks when the wife comes home with the camera).

that looks just a little sharp. don't cut yourself with it . . . .

 

[Bigfattyt]

now that it is convexed even sharper. I still need to spend some more time on it polishing the edge and stripping it. After removing the curve from the blade it sure is much stabbier.

I must have an Infi communicable disease here. Infi pictures, and in nature too, with only one response in almost 24 hours. I guess I will have to post the mod pictures to get a rise out of you guys with my infi mutilation!
