Thought I would give a rundown of what Ed did to the knife. This is a copy and paste from his Email.
First, I took a 120 grit belt and reground the flats on the knife. I took the bevel on down a little more to give it a little thinner cutting edge. I then had to redo the serrations with a foredom tool. Then I went over the flats with a 220 grit belt. Then I put the logo back on since it was ground off. Then I went over it with a scotchbrite belt to give it a satin finish. I then took it to the sand blast cabinet and blasted the handle. I had already touched the handle up with a 180 grit belt since it was prototype that had been left pretty rough. After blasting it I took it back to the scotchbrite and went over all the metal again. I then put a convex edge on it with the grinder and then took it to the buffer and polished the edge. Then I sprayed it down with WD40 to clean it and protect it somewhat. It is carbon steel so you will need to keep it oiled down when not in use to keep the rust down.
