your one amazingly skilled individual Dave

 

or..................you're easily impressed!

 

Looks great! Any chance of a tip and choil shot, Dave?

 

It's all packed up so I'll have to wait for another to come along. Sorry

 

I want to note that most of the steel that was removed was from the lower 1/3 of the blade.

 

yeah its probably the second thing... or maybe im just sucking up a bit till i get an email lol


or you know maybe its the first thing... only god and the mythbusters really know the truth

 

If you need one I could you know, help you out.......

 

I bet it's sweet, now.

 

Well you must one of everything up there?

Sure I'd be happy to do another....and take pics

 

Good I have steel pan here with your name on it.

 

I figured that thing had rusted away by now.

 

shig already comes with a heavily rounded spine and choil. did the customer want it even more euro-shaped?

 

When thinning a knife up to the spine/choil you will inevitably make the spine/choil less round (or even squared off and sharp) as you remove steel at those sections. Also, in this particular case, the knife's heel was missing so some grinding was done on the choil to fix that and then rounding was required there.

 

Choil shot

 

Great work. That looks fantastic.

 

How does it cut compared with stock Shigefusa, Huw?

 

That looks great!
