The dark lines you see are just more polished than the rest of the blade.

Note the dark areas in the first picture, those were the hard parts to sand by hand, "swedge" and the area before the tang where the axis bar cut out is, huge PITA.

4th and 5th pictures show the "ghost butterfly".

Hey Skimo, I really like the looks of that 940, did you do the work youself? What did you use to polish that blade and scales? Very nice work BTW.. Looks good!

Just to be clear the 710 blade was worked on first by Jon who helped to do the rough work, and I'm grateful for his assistance...!

Great job, Joe!
I wonder to have my 672/D2 polished like that.

220 to 2000 grit wet dry sand paper, if I were to do it again, I'd probably use green buffing compound, of course that would dramatically increase finishing time. After I was done polishing it, it opened so smooth, I have nothing to compare it to, I'd have to play with a broken in Sebenza to make a comparison.
