Very nice! Next time i strip something down, I am going to try that stripping jelly. I have always done it the hard way, just sand paper, brillo, and elbow grease.
The final result is pretty good looking, to me. It is nice having a knife slightly different from everyone else's isn't it?
Several of my non-stainless knives that I have denuded had dimples similar to yours under the finish. I don't mind the look at all. actually, a titanium dagger I polished out has dimples, as well.
