I've done the same with my Kershaw's, but find myself rounding the spine of every knife I own on a religious level. Simple to do with diverse grits of sandpaper and some elbow grease.

Re: Polished Kimura Blade Spine

I don't like rounding off the spine, I like the look of an edge, rounding doesn't look good to me, so I just polished it to a mirror finish instead of a rounded spine.

Is there anychance you can get it anywhere close to the quality spine on the 51/32? Plus, I think the Kimura's have enough of an edge without adding one to the spine imo :lol:

Re: Polished Kimura Blade Spine

Make a tutorial when I get my K5, I'm probably going to polish the whole thing so I'll tell you how when I get it, it's fairly easy to do, and I could probably round it off enough to the crown of the 32/51.
