Let me start by saying hello to everyone. I've collected swords for over a year or so now which is what led me to my first purchase, a Rodent Waki which I recieved on Friday. Now, I can't wait to order my Regulator and find myself spending free time checking ebay and bladeforums for knives for sale. Anyway, its nice to be around like minded people. My question is has anyone removed only some of the coating from a knife, say 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch just from the edge? wondering if it is possible or if the rest of the coating would be affected. Thanks
