A Color Case Hardened Busse?

[JCaswell]

OK, maybe not CCH. How about fire-blueing?

How about a fire-blued blade with a CCH handle? Maybe in a honkin-big bowie blade - like a decent-gripped Battle Rat.

"Fire Blueing" and niter bluing require more than 500 degreesF. (That great bright blue color hits around 560F in salt). If your factory temper is at a higher temp than that then you're good. Usually knives in carbon steel are tempered below that (I don't know about these big knives. It may be close).
