    This knife came in for a deep reconditioning spa treatment. Specifically I was tasked with making it "certified pre-owned" plus a few tweaks were added a well. I was happy to oblige. [​IMG]

    Here's the list of what was done....

    • Profile flattened
    • Tip repaired - made more pointy
    • Blade thinned, cleaned, & polished
    • Spine/choil rounded
    • Sharpened
    • Handle & saya sanded/cleaned


    This knife is now as close to new as I can make it. The lighting is crap here today so the pictures aren't so great but hopefully you can see some difference in the before and after shots.
