I finally broke down and did the full convex on my Waki. I did not strip it, but just ground the blade. I see that "The Mark of the Rodent" is on the blade. Only those destined for 'vexing get this sacred mark. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I finished up with a Scotchbrite finish to hide some of the flaws. It isn't perfect, but it will do. The hamon line is not visible.

Looks pretty good, but I'm just not sure how sharp it is...

Just as sharp as it was yesterday, but the full grind should make it slash a bit better.

Very nice HD - Is there going to be a chop off between the Waki and some of your machetes? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It certainly has the blade for it now.

Maybe later. I am working on a big golok chop-off over on W&SS forum.

I'm a huge fan, HD. That is sooooo sweeet.

I'd like to fully 'vex mine and then send it back for recoating. After days of slicing air, I just put the first scratches on mine today.
