This was the blade from my Grindomatic 5000 thread, in which I used the Grindomatic5000 and my KMG's most awesome angle adjustable platen to do all the primary grinding and rough sanding up to 120, then it was easy to follow freehand to finish grind and polish. Blade is Aldo's 1084, tsuba is silicon bronze. 1/4" thick at the spine, 14 3/4" blade, 5 1/2" handle. Blades in the style of the Americanized tanto with the chisel tip and all that, 400 grit working finish. out of my usual realm all ground and polished clean like that.
