    Default Dubl Duck Satinwedge in Blue Mosaic acrylic

    This blade is my very first regrind. It was about to go into the trash when all the sudden I found myself protecting my nads with leather from all the flying sparks in my garage....

    this blade is now slightly more wedgie than it once was, and I lost 1/16 of the width (5/8 --> 9/16). The grind isn't perfect...but, for a complete noob I think I did OK. If you pinch the blade with your thumb and index finger and run it down the spine you can feel its not perfectly even. I kept this blade very cool during the process, I was very scared so it went pretty slowly.

    Having a few flaws hasn't stopped it from taking a wicked edge using 1 piece of tape during the honing... all I've done is give it 20 minutes on a dmt600 and its shaving my arm hairs like nothing, so, I assume by the time I actually get to a decent stone it will be amazing.

    Scales are blue acrylic with a mosaic design... spacer is white acrylic, kinda swirly white, but, not very noticable. Hardware is SS washers, nickel silver rod.

    I'm gonna keep this one for a while I think and shave with it to make sure it holds an edge before it goes on the auction block. lol

    Attached is a before picture, and then lots of the finished product.
