I'm hunting for limited edition Boker they did in Damascus, but I can't even find one on Ebay, so I guess no one is selling!

I plan on using my modified Harbor Freight 2" grinder. I already use it to sharpen knives, so I figure with a new course belt, it might actually work, if not, then back to a grinding wheel.
Thanks for the reply! (So you had to send your work out before this for HT? - forgive me if I misread your post .. )
After I was first done with the polishing I was so astonished I took a video... It's really ready how much of a shine u can put on steel... That's actually really good price for Damascus, at least what I could find... What are the dimensions on the billet?

Yeah good luck! I will keep my fingers crossed for u too! And don't forget to post about the results! I would love to see ur work when ur done! No actually I didn't heat treat this razor because the grind was not to my liking so I just finished it up... I'm actually going to be putting my mistakes on display vs throwing them away... So that's why it's finished... My HT is actually on the way!
