    Will beautiful blade, my computer shows what looks like blood and chunks above the front grind towards the spine. Is this a experienced blade?

    With grinds like that you will just have to keep on hating them. Looking damn good, Will!

    Ummmm, so yeah. Humility gets you nowhere with me. Grinds like that score big time. Whether you liked it or not, it was a home run. Bitchin' folder bro.
