I really like the new YK with the 3/16" thick blade. I think I'd like it even better naked.

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.

It's slow but coming along.

I'll have to sand this part.

That's better. I'll get the rest off the ricasso when I get some more stripper.

I put a sharp convex edge on it.

It slices very well now.

Slices almost as well as my Rat Trap.

I'll finish it tomorrow when I get some more stripper.

That's the beauty of a full flat grind. Only the ricasso and spine need sanding a little. Easy job. 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.

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="" />
