Hahah, thanks everyone. No reason for the angry face, it's just my favorite "smiley". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Don't recall how long this took me either, but faster then the Waki, that's for sure. Less surface area and little machine marks under the coating, but saber grind took a while. I used about 6 different belts from 60-400 grit, working my way up slowly making sure I don't leave any deep scratches.
