I have not stripped a Scrapyard blade but I have done my MOD4 Survival and also my Ka-Bar D2, both by hand as I have no power tools. Here is my MOD4, with a little more effort I'm sure I could get it even better !
I am considering buying one of those how do you like it
I love it bro, it's my favourite Camp blade.....but then again I don't yet have a big ScrapYard blade !!!
