Funny.. Most of my "restore" jobs come out with the edges looking like that...Not the spines...guess i need to control that dremmel a little better

Yup, small files when the metal's still soft. It's not too hard to do but takes time, I always end up sticking the pointy end of a tiny file into my thumb at least once per knife it seems. The tricky part is coming up with patterns that haven't been done to death already.
