Just got this back from Josh at Razor's Edge Knives. My Short Butaniku in his formal best hanging with his baby brother (INFI Park Ranger). I totally forgot to take a before picture, but there is one floating around the forums from a while back that I can't seem to find right now.
I've had my Short Butaniku for some time now and it's been in the safe except for some random air ninja sessions in the basement. It wasn't particularly sharp and I didn't see it as much of a "user" if I ever wanted/needed to because of the black coating. I had been contemplating sending out to REK to get it all cleaned up and "scared to touch it" sharp but I always had something else going on with funds. Finally broke down and sent it back in February and the final product was 100% worth the wait. If I ever run out of bullets heaven help the fool who gets on the wrong end of this piece of REK'ed INFI.
Not much mods went into this one, just a satin finish, sharpen, and new screws on the handles. Apparently there were some gremlins under the coating that needed ground out as well. Convex zero saber grind w/ a 1k microbevel has me keeping this bad boy sheathed in fear of feeling a slight pain only to see my leg is gone. Josh also rounded the tang and ground it flush to the scales. Very nice touch.
I chopped a 2x4 with it a couple times but for some reason the pics won't upload correctly. I'll add later. I was surprised how deep it went with the half-hearted swing I took.
