It looks like somebody replaced the scales on the W&B, blade looks great! The solingen looks brand new, congrats!

i spent two hours sanding last night and i just cant get the pitting to leave.

I think it can take 10-20 hours hand sanding to clean those up. But they are wicked cool when you get them clean enough.
