Ishi, I think that in the first post he said it was where the finish had worn off. YUP, third picture down from the top. Read the caption.
Ahhh, makes sense now. I read the comment of "haven't chopped with it yet" as an absolute statement when it was intended to mean "he hasn't chopped with it since the coating was stripped". Reading comprehension ftw.
Thanks Randy!
