Oh Doug, I know darned well you are going to do a great convex job on that Waki. My Waki bit me right after I convexed it. It was balanced on my belt sander motor and started to fall. It just grazed the top of my left index finger and left a nice clean slice. It healed fast. Your'e right, these big sharp things demand our attention and respect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Yeah... SR-101 gets PLENTY sharp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

And you are right, I will eventually strip and convex at least one of mine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully, by repeated saying, others will learn from our mistakes about how these swords are quite dangerous - especially when HIGHLY sharp. Hopefully, nobody gets more than a little love bite. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> But, obviously, when "sharp", these swords "deserve" SERIOUS attention and respect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
