I am damn tempted to do it right now but to be 100% honest, I'm a little scared that I might find grinder marks under the coating. That would break my heart.
I hear ya'. That would be phenomenal as bare INFI. I remember a few months back you really cleaned up a BG DTBM that had the marks on it. It looked really labor intensive but the results were amazing! (I think that was you, right?)
Honestly, I like the color you chose so it's a winner either way. The only thing for me is that the coating gets all scuffed and torn up over time. Not that that's a big deal though. It's a nice blade and should be a great chopper.
