One More for Yojimbo2

Certainly not an original mod idea. I am happy finally got it done!

Re: One More for Yojimbo2
Nice mods. :) I really like the Snody-esque humps on the back of the blade, too.

A nice reminder that steel is steel and not magic. S90v is presented in a way that makes it seem 'impossible' to grind and/or finish to the degree that you have. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Close to 40 hours, tight grit progression using wet/dry emery - started with 80 grit, after 2000, same tight grit progression with polishing compound 30u and ended with .5u.spydieh0le wrote::cool: wow....talk about mirror!

Thank you all for sharing/commenting on my interest!
Re: One More for Yojimbo2
Interesting idea. I thought about rounding that whole area out and filing in some jimping to make a small choil but never did. As for the sharpening notch I just made a very very small one at the end of my edge, it could pass as a small chip if you didn't know better. It works perfectly.
