    a little OCD goes a long way as it was definitely worth it in the end
    talking of OCD (mine) is that a frown I see in it or just an illusion from the curved back with s shadow/reflection on the bevel, or still yet to hit the stones?

    looks like an awesome blade for sure

    No frown, but no I have not honed it yet. I can put a frown in it if you like.

    she'll be right Wirm,
    I already have a couple of frowns to keep me content LOL
    looks like a fairly hollow & light blade for an 8/8 should be a dream to wield when honed

    Very nice. I will go along with the frown theory. Lotsa blade, no worry! I bid, not as much!
    I doubt we shall ever see one again. Neat!

    Optical illusion of the reflection on the bevel
    That's my story and I'm sticking to it
    LOL
