I really like the new YK with the 3/16" thick blade. I think I'd like it even better naked. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK001.jpg) Oh no! I'm out of Stripper! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK015.jpg) Oh well, I'll just have to get some more later. I'll just do it the hard way with a scotchbrite wheel. I won't be able to get it all, but I can finish it later. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK007.jpg) It's slow but coming along. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK003.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK004.jpg) I'll have to sand this part. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK005.jpg) That's better. I'll get the rest off the ricasso when I get some more stripper. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK011.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK012.jpg) I put a sharp convex edge on it. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK013.jpg) It slices very well now. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK018.jpg) Slices almost as well as my Rat Trap. [img] http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YK019.jpg[/img] I'll finish it tomorrow when I get some more stripper.

I'll finish getting the coating off the ricasso tomorrow with some stripper and give the whole blade a good buffing. Then it should look nice.

Purdy purdy. Might do something like that when my classy rainwalker sheath arrives since I scratched up the coating.

pshh! theres not a scratch on your YK mac! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (obviously jking with you) it gives the knife character anyway!
I can't wait to see the sheath mac. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
vic: yeah, even on the flats it didn't look like there was anything as drastic as on some of the other knives.
(that edge looks awesome BTW)

Again, HD, did a fine job on the YKCG. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Also, yes, the ghosted logo is sweet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
