good point MRPink, the TT reg was pretty good under the coating, but my waki was pretty bad and took alot of work to get right. and these steels are HARD!

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Good job so far jroden. I hate that deep spot by the plunge line, but keep at it and it'll disappear. Remove the handles if you want a really clean look. Tan and satin look real good together. ![[Linked Image from img.photobucket.com]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/MRpilot/Waki/IMG_7496.jpg) Pinkie, that's flat-out GORGEOUS!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I finally just got my waki looking good, I would look at pictures of MRPinks and Norcals and and then at mine and go, Merrrrrrr, but like I said, if you compare yourself to the best, you will always try to improve

I hand-satined an RMD and it totally rocks. I took the saber grind off and basically convexed it but it isn't nearly as nice as something Ban would do, but I love it! Its a lot of fun and you can't really mess up too bad as long as you look at it every few minutes

I did an SS4 also. I haven't tried SR-77 yet but INFI takes a lot less work than SR-101

I was just going to strip mine and then have my friends dad who makes knives finish it for me and get it polished up nicely. Also hes making me a nice leather sheath for it. May take sometime but I got my dereg and ratchute on their way
I dont trust myself on sanding it down yet. id have to practice on some of the cheap walmart knives people have given me when I was younger. Looking at some belt sanders at harbor freight for now since I dont do a whole lot of that kind of stuff.
