Great job looks awesome.

Looks good, but I was hoping to see it clipped and jimping filed all around the handle.

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

Things have been so hectic I haven't even had time to sand and treat the scales on mine properly yet .. used it a couple times but not near enough yet ...

hoping things start to get back to normal (whatever that is) again now the holidays have passed.

I have never forced a patina always just let it come naturally ... but was considering trying it ... have a few other projects I'd like to try this year to if life calms down.

But I liked how you gave the scales an "aged/worn" look

Thanks man. The patina is easy. Clean blade with alcohol, dab mustard on, wait 15 minutes, wash off. Done.

Looks great! How did you get the sheath so light? Did yours just come like that? Mine's a deep chocolate brown.

Thanks man. I knew this mod wouldn't be for everyone, but I like it.

I took a key, and screw, pushed into it to make the marks/indentations, then lightly sanded it with sandpaper. I tried sanding where I thought it would age naturally, i.e, places like the "cup" where the knife handle fits. I then took a cotton cloth, and rubbed over it like crazy, to do a burnishing on it, to shine it back up a little. Easy mod really. You can see the back of the sheath is still dark, as I didn't do anything to it.

weird, everyone so far that tears it down has lost the marble

Thanks Dubz!!

I think I can use that spot to store a bearing ball for sling ammo.
