Yep, it took a while but I stayed at it until I liked the result. I learned a little more about finishing blades too.
More education under my belt!

You can fix up my old knives anytime Jim (DocB) is too busy. ::handshake:: ::super_happy:: I won't charge you anything. :mrgreen:
LOL! Great job Mike! :D

Thanks for the complement!
I did spend a lot of time on the tip.... thanks for noticing!
One big lesson I learned on this knife was ..... BE patient! I get in too big of a hurry sometimes but I think I am learning to slow down and take my time.

That does sound like a good offer for not charging me to fix your knives.....LOL.

Have a prosperous year in 2020!
