strip

done with sandpaper and vinegar patina

The sheath is outstanding

some stake making

very light chopping just using the weight of the blade.

originals such as that are special... i dont think i could have stripped it.

Looks really good, I am surprised the etchings aren't more visible after. :thumbup: to the action shots.

 

[Varg Lobos]

What a beauty.

Looks way better after you used it.

Thanks for the pics.

 

[CowboyStyle]

I thought that too, but I felt that if I posted what I thought I saw at first, I would look like an idiot, lol.

Yes it does.
I want one so bad but I refuse to pay a premium.

Looks great cowboy.

Hmmmm... that etching is not as deep as I thought. Thanks for the pics.

 

[The Warrior]

Nice work. Have plans for mine as well. Gonna be a user, oh yeah.

 

[nick425]

I think I am going to copy you... I love it!

 

[p97z]

I may have to buy another one to use. It's just too nice!

 

[CamH_16]

You've got some nice pics here mate.

 

[thrillbilly]

yuppers...beat the hell out of it! I intend to mine, I like the looks of the sabre grind over the FFG...I paid 15$ more for the grind not the ''rarity'' and etching LOL


Looks great, is the etching really that almost invisible in person? In pics it looks 99% gone/covered

 

[CowboyStyle]

thanks guys

closer look at signature you can see it ay certain angles. sanded down the patina some with 1000 grit.

 

[flipaldinho]

It looks like you got most of the etch out of this one. I like!

Edit: Saw posted pic after I submitted this. Maybe not....
