Rover,
Well done!
I always wondered if SR-77 could be taken to a true mirror polish,let's see it when you get it done! I am impressed so far that's for sure.
Peace.

Looks like you're doing a nice job and all ...
But I'm partial to the CG blades.

I decided to go with a standard V grind. I tried sharpening it with a mousepad and 600 grit and got nowhere with it. David Brown thinned out the tip on a grinder and I put the final edge on it. Very sharp now. Here she is after some more polishing. Can you tell how many fingers I'm holding up? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i194.photobucket.com]](http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z112/artrover/DSC04269.jpg) Here's the sheath I made for it earlier today with some help from my friend David Brown. ![[Linked Image from i194.photobucket.com]](http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z112/artrover/DSC04270.jpg)

Turned out great! Looks like it's so sharp it cut the tips of your fingers off! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
