then take it to 400 or even 600 pre HT
Cleaning after HT with 600 and then a few moves with new, sharp and dry 400 gives a nice, clean 400 finish
Removing 220 scratches after HT is a pain in the you know where

I don't have any 600 gr. But I'll definitely take it up to 400 then.

It'd been really cool watching you make that on instagram. Love that glass bead blast finish
Very nice. I need to make a few this winter. They definitely won't look as good as yours though.
Gotta touch up the handle a bit and bring the swell down, finish the sheath, sharpen and ship.

Very nice. There is a lot of work that went into that one.

No exactly going on IN my shop, but going ON my shop. Finally getting a REAL roof instead of a tarp. A generous man down the road a piece that lost the roof on his shop during hurricane Mathew gave me enough steel to put a real roof on mine since he put all new steel on his. Supper stoked about this as I have had to replace the tarp on mine 3 times in the last year. I'll feel a lot better about calling it a "shop" now as well as protecting my tool investments.

Nope I don't think it's too wide.
To me the ricasso looks a tiny bit too big? I would move the plunge back towards the handle a wee bit.
