Absolutely and good job putting it all together. Actually you're right I really like the way it looks now!

Me too. Plus, you don't have the drag from that coating when you're cutting, and you can use the spine to scrape if you need to.

One of these days, I'm going to get a cheep knife and try cold blueing it. I wonder how it would wear...

Personally I like natural patinas myself.

And I could absolutely see how that bed liner coating would drag.
