1:55 am Thursday here Dave So a very early wee wee hours morning to you. FIRST off
>>>Off to the doctor, cheers, Dave
so now that you are back reading this what's the prognosis? Will the digit heal up ok??
To be honest if you look back upon the Japanese art sword that it what it was and was intended to be . It was MUCH more than a weapon to say the least. I have this vision though of a very bored infantryman of the early Republic sitting around the camp fire at night Hooch'n it up and with a big yawn playing mummbly peg with his gladius or pugio.
I have now got the mainz at 220 grit and will end at either 600 or 800 and may just leave it that way hit it with some choji in the end. Can't do a gull dern thing now until I can replace the facockta angle grinder and my bubble gum grinder. The local butcher was trying to help me find a few good bones for the rest of the project (grips n things) now he wants to keep keep the sword to carve out 80 lb beef steamships. He said it was the best meat tool he ever had in his hands :lol:
The one further benefit a higher polish imparts ( I think) is a tighter closure of the steel surface offering perhaps just a little more elemental protection. I think I'll go the Hispanensis route next just fer fun and something different. NOW I am blown away by all these amazing spathas they are way too much to resist.
Please apprise us about your outcome at the docs.
Be Well Dave,
Me!
