I did mean you, but I'm turning into my grandma when it comes to names.

HEIJI YOU SAY...? FOURTH OF SUCH YOU SAY? GIMME!!!!!

Just pulled an accidental hi jack, apologies. Feel free to negate those last couple posts mods.

the sharpening i did myself, but i'm pretty sure by the time it gets to you someone else will have put a new edge on.

By Jacob's work, I meant Chris's work, and by Chris's work- I meant his thinning and such.

ahh, he did a hell of a job! uses broken pieces of stone as finger stones to do it too, talk about painstaking work. nice rounding of spine and choil as well. handle was made by someone else but did the install. i was there when he had to bore out the hole with a hand file, i felt bad while sipping on beer as he's pushing and pulling at it, lol.

Put a fresh edge on her and going to ship it out tomorrow. Ill post my thoughts tomorrow but I will say the edge retention is pretty damn good. On par with my tkc's and almost as good as my suisin IH's. pretty spectacular given the low price point.

Got her in the mail today. Should make it to LOL in a couple days.
